    We've had these wretched things the last couple of weeks. OH said it was something to do with harvesting the rape round here......I've no idea but someone on the radio at teatime was talking about them and the problems folk have had with one stuck behind the computer screen. If I remember right, he said tap the screen lightly just above where the bug is and it will go down to the bottom of the screen and find its way out.
    I've not had that problem but they do seem to like my windows :eek: Seems as fast as I get rid of them two days later they're back !:mad:
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    We have had these every year since we moved to the country.
    They're in the lcd panel of my microwave.
    They have got into the Samsung LCD Tv in the bedroom and died right in the middle of the screen arghhhh, Have had to buy a new JVC as we were told Samsung had a known fault with ths problem, will let you know how it pans out.
    OH finally gave in and bought himself a new 42" toy at Christmas I am praying they don't get in there!!!!
    Daughter started laughing hysterically last week as one had even got inside her DS and it looked huge crawling around the grass on her game under the screen -
    I dread to think how many we must have consumed ......ewwwww
