Recently I got a second hand 2019 21.5 inch iMac. Lately there seemed to be a tiny ant on the screen and I tried to squash it. Tonight I kept trying but I was unable to squash it. Then I realised that it was inside the screen or at least behind the glass. I then tried harder to squash it. It started to move slower. I kept trying until it was dead. It is only about 1 mm.
Here is a photo:
I guess this problem is a bit like the problem of "dead pixels" when LCD screens for laptops were coming out....
Perhaps I should have let it live because now it might just block that part of the screen forever....
edit: I did a search on Google and it seems like a pretty common problem....
I remember there were some small ants on my desk recently - maybe I left a bit of food there.... then I just used spray to try to kill them....
edit: there's a second ant in there now. I sprayed the vents with a spray that kills flies (etc) in seconds and controls for 8 hours....
