this is what i do henry -

when you've finished making the bug - you press the PrtScn / Sys Rq button on the keyboard which is usually next to the f12 button on most keybards. This essentially takes a snapshot of the screen you are looking at.

then assuming you are running windows 98, me, xp whatever then go to "paint" - start button/programs/accessories/paint or if an apple then whatever picture program equivalent they use.

right click on an empty page and paste and you'll see the screen pasted like a still picture into paint. you can then highlight the bug, cut it out, paste it onto a new paint file then save it as you please - usually if you save as a jpg file its not such a big file so you can send it to people etc if required.

hopefully that helps

or if you're on a mac:

APPLE + SHIFT + 3 = full screen picture.
APPLE + SHIFT + 4 = crosshairs to grab any section of the screen.
