    Last resort, buy an anteater. Be the first on your block. Though with a tongue like that, Russ may never leave your house when he visits.

    Scratching my head on this one for sure!

    I like the idea of compressed air, but perhaps one of those cans that have a tube on the end of it. Maybe find an extension tube to be able to sneak it in between the screens.

    The suction cup idea is a good one too. Pull the protective screen out, with some compressed air.

    That's all I got. :)

    I considered suggesting a centrifuge -- it'd need to be a pretty big centrifuge. On the plus side, it wouldn't have to spin too fast...

    It's a long process but I've got the little bug down a couple of inches using a small suction cup and a electric tooth brush until it quit dropping down assuming once it dries up a bit more it will continue to drop. It seems the farther down the screen you go, the harder it is for the suction cup to pull the screen away from the screen.

    That makes sense Steve as the closer to the edge the tighter it would be. Can you push against it to flatten it more?

    Ivan that's what I'm thinking, but I want to make sure that ant is dried up so I dont smear bug juice in between as that would require taking it apart to clean that mess up.

    Do not do this... the closer to the edge, the more sensitive the glass becomes. Some sets will crack faster than you can think possible from the slightest touch.

    Wait it out a bit Steve. The heat generated from the screen should dry it out soon if it isn't already.

    Once it gets close to the edge, like John said, you don't want to fudge with the screen anymore. Be better to try and remove the framing from that part of the screen to remove any pressure and then wiggle it down by tapping it slightly.

    The ant was probably wondering,"how the f&@(k did I get in here"?? Check and see if he left a trail of bread crumbs.

    The prehistoric ants trapped in amber (fossilized tree resin) wondered the same thing, albeit in inscrutable prehistoric ant languages...
