Realy OMG have you got any idea how they got there? Can you not screw of the back or the front of the monitor?

I had one of those little buggers in my screen last summer

If it is still alive just put a bright light above your monitor and turn your monitor off, leave it for a few hours and hopefully it will make it's way towards the light, i was lucky and mine did

Lure it out with some plant leaves

Apparently that's what they eat.

I've had 4 in there for about 3 years now.

The good news is they have faded ever so slightly around the edges in that time

If its dead, maybe luring some bacteria in there with some moisture could help to degrade it or something maybe...

...don't sue me when you get electrocuted.

you could try luring a spider in there to catch the fly.

but if the spider gets stuck your gonna have to lure in a bird to catch the spider that caught the fly.

if your unlucky enough to get the bird stuck your going to have to lure in a cat to catch the bird that caught the spider that caught the fly.

well you get the idea... when you get to a horse your gonna need a new monitor and the fly will be gone. ITS FOOL PROOF!!

Lol

Anyone know what eats cats then?

i would use a dog to catch the cat that caught the bird that caught the spider that caught the fly

but dont get your dog stuck

or you could try taping a lot of them straws together and make some kind of suction device
