There is a spider between the light panel and the LCD screen. It walks literally behind my windows and appears behind text and buttons. I am sitting here and can not get my eyes off this little bugger walking behind my pictures that I am editing. Veeeeery distracting. Doesn't react to the mouse but to tapping of my finger. And no, it is not a virtual spider but a real life thing with reflexes.

If you think this is difficult for you, just imagine how difficult it is for the spider!

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Play a psychedelic music video and see if that scares it (from the flashing light) away?

It's so cool to have a little friend to accompany you while you're editing! Pray that "It" isn't a "She" & soon you'll have dozens of little ones to follow Mom around! ; D

Unfortunately, the little bugger died over night. Now I have a dead spider in the lower half of my screen. Not sure, if there is an extended ISO 13406 (external link) norm that defines the acceptable number of dead spiders on your monitor. Mine is now firmly in the DS-Class II (Dead Spider Class II with 1 dead spider...). Let's hope that the thing will dry out and fall down so that my monitor goes back to DS-Class I :-P
