Subj : bugs in the screen

Yesterday I saw a tiny little bug on the PC monitor. 1 to 2 mm long, fraction 
of a millimeter wide. I squeezed it. Then I saw more bugs. Unsqueezable! They 
moved behind the glass and also looked pixelated. Is this a virus on my Ubuntu 
box? I remember the animated GIFs in web forums with a little fly walking 
around. These bugs look more like graphical virtual bugs than real ones. Until 
one went to the left of the screen and walked out between the screen and the 
bezel.

I hope they find their way out or starve to death soon (without getting stuck 
forever behind the glass). Wikipedia says they live for around 45 days. No idea 
if they came on through the window (it was open the whole day) or if I brought 
them in from the garden. Yesterday I was removing nettles and the ground was 
covered with old branches. Nature sucks ;)
