How could I safely fix my walking “dead pixel” bug?

There is a bug behind the display on my monitor, how do I get it out? if it dies while being on the screen I'll be stuck with it hiding about 4 pixels.

It's quite bizarre watching it crawl about on the monitor. I need for it to go away. Can I kill it, is it possible to get the dead bug body out in case it dies in there?

The screen is an old Apple Cinema 20".

Bugs/flies/insects are usually attracted to light.

I suggest putting it in a dark room with one bright spotlight. Leave the bug to his own devices.

Assuming it is possible, you might try compressed air. I don't know if you can get the air to the bug, and I'd be careful to try to avoid killing / squishing the bug with the air, but it might move the bug or convince him (or her) of the error of his (or her) ways.
