1. Once you get the cardboard under the cup, shake the cup gently back and forth to disorient/overturn said insect.
2. Quickly flip the cup over with the cardboard now on top of it.
3. Then, regardless of how bad your 'cardboard holding technique' is, you can simply exert pressure on the CENTER of the cardboard, wholly within the rim of the cup, and run virtually no risk of losing the prison's structural integrity.
4. When outside, repeat the gentle shake to make sure whatever bug variant it may be isn't clinging, Cape-Fear-like, to the underside of the cardboard waiting to pounce on your face and eat your nose.
5. Proceed to pour the bug into the bushes and run back in like your butt was considering catching on fire.
... shoosh! So I've escorted a lot of bugs outside.
