I looked up and noticed a spider on my screen. It was so small at first I thought it was a clump of pixels.

As I normally do I grabbed a shot glass and business card (my standard spider catching kit) and placed it over the spider on the screen. Then I watched in disbelief as it crawled under my cursor and off to another part of the screen.

It was trapped between the back-light and the panel. I watched for a while as it wondered about under my text, under my images and under my cursor. It did not seem to care what was being displayed.

So for now I have a spider who appears and disappears from time time time on my screen. It’s trapped inside and there is nothing I can do.
