seriously disturbing.

That's kind of what I'm worried about - how the hell has it got in
there?

I got called over to our engineering department a few weeks ago to witness
the very same thing. One of those little red insects that crawl al over
stone walls appeared to be trapped between the glass and the tft on a Dell
screen.

I had one of the little bastards die inside a laptop screen. Never

I've got a field guide and hand lens ready to see if I can ID it if it
stays still long enough - I knew that carabid ID course would come in
handy. :)

Once you work out what it is, put a picture of whatever it eats on the
screen and when it crawls towards it *slowly* edge it down the screen
and beastie will fall out the bottom.
You will then find the screen is actually curved on the inside and the
beastie is really a foot long.

Same with bloody spiders, innit? Once again, I've got a spider in my
speedo: this time on the CD25. The fuckers spin their webs around the
needle, and either spider silk is very strong of instrument needle
drivesd are very weak, but it stops the needle registering more than
20mph.
I went for a flat-out blast to try and encourage the cobweb to break,
but it hasn't happened. Mind you, I can now get the needle up to
45mph, so that's an improvement.
I was wondering whether jury-rigging a pipe from the Dyson to the hole
where the cable goes, and trying to suck the bloody stuff out, would
work.
No sign of the damn spider, needless to say. I hope it's died of
starvation.
Oh, and car mirrors: that's another favourite spider pied-a-terre.
Speedometers, car mirrors and now computer screens. We're seeing the
emergence of a new technologically savvy super-species, I tell'ee.
Wait until the bastards learn to post to ukrm.
(They'll still make more sense than Des, of course)

I have "stereo" dead spiders in my BMW 330D - one inside each rear light

when I bought it and I haven't removed them. I have this nagging feeling
that if I do so it might unleash some terrible curse on the car.

I had a spider on my 9R - stayed there for bloody *ages*, despite
several 170+ mph runs ... I think he hid in the mirror surround when
things got a bit windy.
I'd go out for a blat, think "no *way* could he have survived that", and
then later the same day I'd see him creep out and start spinning a
replacement web.

Yes, this is the odd thing about spiders. The fuckers are
indestructible.

Pity I can't do that with my securicam. I came back from 10 days
at CERN to find several hours' footage every night of an out-of-focus,
overexposed (from the IR LEDs) spider wandering back and forth across the
window in front of the lens.

I had about 20 in one of my Viewsonic monitors. I thought they were going to
be incredulous when I rang them up, but they reacted as if it's a fairly
common problem. They eventually sent me a new monitor in exchange for the
old one. Which broke soon after. And then was very difficult to get
replaced. Which was nice. Still, it was better than them saying "lizarrrd"
over and over again, and claiming to have a supervisor called "Mr Lizard"...

My mrs had that with her laptop and HP refused to replace it under
warranty because it was added protein, not a dead pixel...or something
like that.
