Default Bug + Engine = Help

So, I'm sitting all smug with my Discovery II engine on a stand cleaning the push rods.
I was replacing all the gaskets and getting it boiled and refaced.
It was an unseasonably crisp night out in Iowa, so I let all the windows amd garage doors open.

Unfortunately, a lighting bug paid me a visit.
There were already several around, but I saw one land right on my camshaft. Seconds later, it was gone into the bowels of my engine.

What do I do??

Pour some oil over the camshaft and drain the bug out the drain plug.
