Insect/bug inside my screen

So as i was inspecting my macbook screen i saw a bug crawling on the screen so i tried to take the bug off by wiping it with my finger. it turns out the but was INSIDE my screen and left a dark spot (it got squished from my finger). my question is, HOW DID A TINY BUG GOT INSIDE MY MACBOOK SCREEN?!!!!! HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET IT CLEANED? My warranty doesn’t expire until august. its still june. what should i do? im pretty sure its not a dead pixel cuz i literally saw it crawling on my screen.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4

If it's still under warranty, you might make a case for the screen being defective and not sealed properly. But I'd imagine that's a long shot. Apple would want to replace it; cleaning it is not an option I'd think.


All I can come up with are crazy stuff knowing how's bugs are: bright light to encourage it to move on, pieces of fruit around the Mac to entice him with odor, maybe honey. I dunno, just about anything will sound off the wall but whatever might attract a bug might be good bait.
