There was a bug in my local park that locks at dusk but the 80m radius was right on the edge of the park. So I stuck my garmin arm through the railings and waved it around! And I got it! Go Me!

So I guess you have to keep doing that every time you see a water bug. But because they get closer (and therefore cost you more penalties) only report them when you're going to be running and might be able to run them out of town.
