Hello,
I'm reading a story about Stolen Mona Lisa. I don't understand the underlined sentence. 'A bug' means really an insect? Or is there any other meaning in this context? Please help!!! Thank you.
Even the great Austrian writer Franz Kafka, who would have marveled at my cunning, came to stare solemnly at the space that once held the fair lady. All he saw was a bug.
(The narrator is a thief who stole Mona Lisa. and the fair lady here means Mona Lisa. When Mona Lisa was stolen in 1911 from Louvre, there came lots of people to see the space where Mona Lisa had been. And Kafak was among them.)
