Does anyone know how difficult it is and how to remove the plastic "glass" that covers the speedo/tach/stupid gas mileage gauge etc to remove a small dead bug that has made my car his final resting place?

It's most likely held in place by screws - but you are probably going to have to remove the lower and/or upper dash panels to reach them. Good luck!
