New Panasonic 47" and free spider

Around the 4th of July I bought a new Panasonic from Frys in Anaheim, got it home and set it up. A few days later I'm watching TV and to my surprise the image of a spider comes out of the top edge of the screen and starts moving around the entire field. The image it cast was about one and a half inches long, I don't know the actual size. Aren't these sets sealed? It appeared off and on for a few days then was gone, I guess it didn't like what I was watching. Wow my first digital set and I got a free digital spider. Anyone else get a spider with theirs?

There have been plenty of reports of spiders & flies...

Although they do seem to be partial to Pannys, or other sets beginning with "P"

My dog chased a moth underneath my Toshiba 65hdx82 a week ago. I assumed she ate it, but about an hour later, a Red-Green-Blue moth had taken control of the screen. I turned it off(even unplugged the set), yelled at the dog, and hoped it would leave.

So far it hasn't shown up again, but it's probably still in their somewhere.

Spiders

Thanks for the info., I am still amazed that sets this expensive are open to insects and dust. I hope this isn't going to turn into a maintenance nightmare.

They have to be open to allow air to circulate to prevent heat buildup. It's usually not a problem, but the insides of RPTVs could use a "cleaning" every couple of years (CRTs, mirror, etc) If you can't do it, hire someone.
