They reported this this morning and went into some detail. They first got a lamp and tried to lure it out that way; ended up pulling it out with an ‘implement’ lol. I see they used tweezers. and..it was still alive.
Reminds me of a Twilight Zone I saw (I think it was TZ) anyway this man was captured by an enemy and they tortured him by inserting a worm in his ear telling him that no human being had ever lived after because the worm ‘eats’ its way through the brain and exits out the other ear. IIRC they told him if he lived they would release him. Long story short: through days of the torture of this worm eating through..it exited and the guy was still alive. Of course he celebrated! But he kept getting headaches and went to the doctor and he told him that the good news was that yes indeed he was the first human to live through that experience. The bad news? It was a female and she layed eggs. :O
OK, to start with I am a lepidopterist...I literally have tens of thousands of moths at my house (dead) and I raise hundreds of them alive every year.
However, that has NOTHING to do with this story.
A Similar thing happened to me in the 80’s. While sleeping a “June beetle” - a small brown beetle common around here in summer, climbed into my ear while I was sleeping. I awoke at 3AM to this THING crawling DEEP inside my ear. I had to use a bamboo skewer to get him out. It was, by far, the most disgusting “bug thing” to ever happen to me in a life FILLED with semi-disgusting bug things.
