Can I change my answer? I think that would work better.

Also are you sure the ant isn't just on the screen?

All your suggestions mad me chuckle haha. Hopefully it just decays and falls off on its own accord. At least it had the decency to die somewhere other than the center of my screen.

Ants can't cut the wires inside their computer but they can cause shortcircuits by walking around and eating your insulation so as long as there aren't more it won't be a problem.

I personally think you're wasting an opportunity. Put a retro game in the background, and create a retro ant farm.

Am I the only here actually curious about opening the entire thing up?
