I've just brought a 24" Cinema Display for my Mac Pro, and it is absolutely stunning!

However, sitting in front of it a few nights ago, I noticed a tiny money spider walking across the screen, and then stop in the middle. I tried blowing it away, but it seemed quite determined to stay put, so I tried to brush it off, but it remained in the same place! I tried again, and it started to walk away?

Now quite bemused, I took a closer look, and soon realised it was actually walking on the inside of the glass!

It tends to avoid bright areas on the screen, and keeps to the dark areas, which is fun if you move a window towards it :)

Just hope it doesn't die on a visible part of the screen, or decide to make a web. Maybe for good luck I should remove the glass and let it run free?
 
Open a drawing program.

Set Screen to full brightness

Make whole screen white, except where the spider is, make like a line to the edge in black.

Slowly make the line white, forcing it to the edge of the screen.

Then make the screen completely White, and it should run away, and die.

LOL - You've thought about this too much, I'll give it a try though :)
