 Had a bug on my arm during the Offertory yesterday; what do the pros do?

Yesterday morning at church, in the middle of our Flute/Oboe/Clarinet offertory, an extremely large, buzzy, and very determined fly decided that my bare right arm would be the perfect place for an extended Sunday morning stroll. I withstood the feeling of tiny feet walking on my arm as long as I could (eek eek eek EEEEK), and then tried to shake him off, but twitching my arm did not serve to discourage him. I had to intermittently stop playing for quite a few measures before I was able to convince him to go away.

So, I wondered what the pros do, when an insect decides to join the party. Channel the Spartan boy with the fox chewing at his vitals, and continue playing? Or frankly down tools and deal with the invader?

And I bet there are some much better war stories out there... :D
