Being that it got between the real LCD and the screen I'd think I could take it apart and clean it. Unless it's glued at the factory. Haven't looked yet.

I thought I got rid of it, shook the monitor all over, upside down etc. Then it was gone. But looks like he was just stuck. Now he's walking all over again!
