The strange incident left many viewers puzzled about how the ant managed to enter the laptop‘s screen. X user Akash Manohar shared his own experience, saying, “I have experienced this. So please read this fully: Most likely it did not go into screen. This insect is most likely an egg that was in the screen during manufacturing. The heat generated during laptop use helped it hatch.” In a separate post, Manohar also directed users to the post of another user who faced the same issue in 2020.
