LOL! Old trick another bug photographer showed me:
Catch the critter, stick in plastic container, chill in refrigerator for ten minutes or so. Do all your setup and such while critter is chilling. Coax critter into position and quickly make pictures ... they move more slowly until they warm up. No harm to critters this way and good pictures without a tug of war.
