An ACTUAL bug INSIDE my monitor screen!
Pretty freaking annoying and no way to get it out.
Definitely one of the more serious bugs I've seen in my programming career 
Hopefully it will go away by itself...

There is no way a horse is going to fit inside a monitor, it'll all be fine.

had the same, an ant got in between the lcd and plastic (protective I guess) cover.
figured it would find it's way out, next day still there, 2 days later sigh, still there
... so I figured try nudging it out: big mistake, dead ant stuck in not quite middle of the screen.
ok, crack open the screen (and of course left burrs in the edge/crack where I pried off the front bezel).
luckily plans to replace were already in place.
anyway - moral of the story: if there's a bug in your screen don't poke at it.

I tried squashing it (at the edge), but no matter how hard I push it won't die 
Apparently there's quite some room between the screen and whatever's in front of it...

Sounds like just the solution! 
I don't see it right now, but it was still there a minute ago...

You could smear the side of the screen with honey, to lure it out

I tried to smoke it out, but my monitor got overheated so I put it in the freezer, but now my monitor won't work anymore... 
(I actually know someone who did that with his phone because a friend said the microwave would charge it faster or something like that  )

I think it's gone 
Must've walked off the edge (I hope it was a flat-earther)

Well if it left anything behind you will at least know what type of bug it was. It would be a remn ant!

Wow.
Working on a screen with a moving "bug" must either be very distracting, or really freaky.
Imagine that running across your screen while you are coding high...

It's annoying as hell!
Luckily it seems to have found it's way off my screen
It's been there for a good few hours though.

Thank you for NOT taking a screenshot like an end-user would...

I seldom comment but this might be the reason they make that spray air
Shut the monitor off and douse the air openings with a liberal application of air
that gets cold I had a small spider that decided to keep warm inside my ProArt 27 inch
a little air and it decided to depart

Yeah. Take a screen capture and post it!
[yes, I know]
