Animals IN my screen. HELP!!

I bought an external screen for my MacBook. I'm using it for about a month with no error, but today i found very tiny little animals living in my screen. I'm 100% positive they are nog on my screen, but in it. Should I order replacement, or is this somewhat "normal" for LCD-screens?

That looks like a bug or something in your display! I don't know if it's supposed to be like that, but I would try to get it replaced if you can. Or set off a bug bomb in your apartment and stay in a hotel or with friends/family for a few days.

Yep,that's an insect inside there.
Easiest way to remedy,without spraying insectiside at and into display...
Place Display inside a black garbage bag.
Tie the bag closed.
Put the garbage bag outside exposed to the Sun for a few hours.
Your little friend will die and drop to bottom of Display.

Is that a new feature of "iLife" ? 
Seriously, I would not expose it to sun in a bag, as you do not have any control of the temperature it will reign into the bag.... Fast temparture changes might dammege the bug and the book to.
Get it to an Apple certified tech centre, they might opne the back of the screen and remove the bugs..

Those **** buggy revision A machines!
I've been reading these boards for a long time and yes, this IS the strangest thing I've ever seen here!
On the other hand, I might just leave it and let the bug fall where it may. Give it a name. Show your friends. Above all, tell it to avoid crawling too close to the processors! It'll burn to a crisp in no time flat! Maybe you can train it to chase your pointer.
I hope it all works out for you, either way.

When I had a PowerMac I also had a Cinema Display. It was clear plastic and about every six months or so bug that had been attracted to the lights in the display would die and fall to the bottom of the legs. I would take it apart and clean them out.
If it were me I'd just leave it alone and they'll either die or they'll make their way out. I wouldn't try anything to get rid of them.

Ah. I misread.
All the same, if someone get bugs in your Macbook, they should see my previous post.
