I have the window open. I now have a moth the size of a small eagle careering around my room.
Clearly I won't be sleeping until it is removed, but it is proving a slippery customer. Any moth removal tips?

Hairspray and a lighter?
Turn the light off. Don't moths stop flapping when it goes dark?
Yes, then they climb into your ear cavity and lay eggs. 
If you have a lamp, turn it on and turn off the other lights. Hopefully the moth will land on the shade. Then put a container over the moth, drag it to the bottom and quickly put the lid on. Like you would to get spider off the wall if you've ever done that.

Good call. Will have a go. Suspect it may be a little more moth-friendly than Zoo's.
Hee. Just run around after said moth, screaming and shooting fire at it.
Then call a fire engine.
Pretend It's a butterfly & summertime is just following you into darkness
So in essence, I would be creating my own fire-blaster? After the bottle of Pinot I've managed to polish off tonight?
This can only go well.

Totally. It'll be fine...
However, if we don't hear from you, we shall inform the authorities.
Have removed moth.
Chased it around for a while, eventually caught it in a tub, ran to window screaming, flung open the curtains, leaned out of the window and dispatched the moth.
Unfortunately, in my haste to deal with the imminent crisis I forgot that I was just in bra and pants. So my neighbour across the road got something of an evening surprise.
Lol. Moth's alive, neighbours got flashed, everyone's a winner.

Do you remember that Mosquito sitcom from the seventies George?
I think it was called on the buzzes.
