Stupa to heaven

You sometimes read the story of a small fly that accidentally circumambulated a stupa three times as, or shortly before, he died. This makes me wonder - as a practicing Buddhist, should we try to help dying creatures in this way?

If we find a half-dead bug, a dying cockroach, a shriveled up spider, or a dead fly - would it not be of assistance to them to do something rather than sweep them away, ignore them, or simply dispose of them?

Maybe we could actually help them, if we picked them up - albeit on a spoon or piece of cloth - and took them for a trip around a Buddha picture, statue, or other religious relic. If this worked to aid one fly on its path toward heaven, maybe it could assist multiple dying and dead bugs?

It may just be one small way in which we can help others. Especially those of us who do not find interaction with humans easy and therefore are somewhat limited in being able to bring Buddhism to them. After all, insects becoming heavenly beings is a large step that they would otherwise not be able t make. We would be speeding up their awakening… or maybe I have just gone soppy in my old age!
