Bug Stuck In WRX headlight

So at the Treasure Island lunch meet, we were contemplating on how this bug got inside his headlights, we took out one of the headlamps and knocked on the plastic hoping he would fly out lol but how did he get in there???

sry don't know how to get the video to play inside the forum

obviously the seal isnt tight or how else would he get in there? Surprised there hasn't been water inside there. Odd..

I have one of my cat's white hairs in my headlight.

And it happened when my car was in Texas, and my cat was in California.

I know for my EDMs on my bugeye, the bulb has a hole that you put the bulb through. It's a very basic rubber seal, which a small bug could probably wiggle its way through if it was bored. I'm not sure if the '04s are the same.
