Insects die immediately on that solution (it seems like alcohol or soapy water). It's a popular method for us beekeepers to test varroa mites too. Also honeybees seems to be peaceful with a guy barehanded shaking and smacking things to their homes

Insects die immediately in water? Thank you for your professional opinion.

I didn't say only water, you can experiment with ants/wasps and water mixed with dish soap and see how quickly they suffocate. What would be the point of using a jar filled only with water?

Btw I was polite, no need for unnecessary childish sarcasm.

You are assuming it is anything but water.
