I just checked.
It's still in there.
Kabuto: I've had a spider crawl into my laptop through the air vent. After about five minutes I'm like what the hell maybe it'll flee if I turn it on and can't handle the excessive heat. Five minutes after I turn it on I see it poike a leg out and eventually crawl out completely only to be met with a magazine.
Maybe put a heat source next to the ds and some sugar water to lure it out.
That's a pretty decent plan.
I'll give it a shot.
ceemdee: Just start playing one of
these games. That should get it to vacate your DS pretty quickly. Well, unless it dies instead.
I don't think I'm ready for that just yet.
overread: Heh if you start cooling the DS the bug won't go anywhere, coldblooded it will just slow down - go dormant and then probably die if you keep it too cold for too long.
Chances are the thing is probably stuck in there after working its way inside and the physical removal is going to be the only way to get it out, though it might move/fall out of the screen area and not cause any problems.
I read up that putting my DS somewhere overly cold isn't the best idea.
I'm honestly just hoping it dies somewhere off-screen due to a lack of food/water.
Athenvance: What ever method you want to try, you should probably do while leaving it alone in a seperate room. You mentioned trying to draw it out with a flashlight, but if you're standing there, a billion times bigger than the insect, making strange human noises, the bug is likely to be terrified and stay put.
While this is a good idea, it's a lot harder to execute due to me living in a single-space, college dorm-room. The most I could do is put my DS in a container of some-sort out of sight.
