Ants! -- "The next morning we noticed a large number of ants milling around it. Upon inspection we discovered ants crawling in and out of every hole in the computer. I grabbed my can of compressed air and started blowing! To my horror hundreds of ants started pouring out carrying eggs! I knew this was bad. I took the computer out to the garage and completely disassembled the thing layer by layer." (Comments: Thanks MadMan.)

Several years ago a load of tiny spiders hatched inside my PC, they were crawling all over it, in and out of drives and ports. It wasn't particularly pleasant.
When I took the case off to clear them out I found a web on the modem with a larger dead spider in it, so perhaps they'd all been orphaned by a power surge on the line...

Ants do swarm occasionally. There's no need to panic over a few little creatures from the insect world.
