Yes, moths.  And earwigs too, please.

A few suggestions:

I'd make the character slow down and stop moving as soon as the hit button
is pressed and remain stopped until just after the moment of impact.

It'd prevent players from being boring and just zooming around constanly
tapping the hit button.  It'd also make aiming more straightforward and
prevent players "overshooting" their target.  Speeding up the whacking
animation (reducing the delay between button press and impact) would help
too.

I don't know if the above would work out in practice for the game you have
in mind.

cheers
Derek
