The ultimate ear wig! - PHOTO+VIDEO

The man, who remains unidentified but is believed to be from India, arrived at the doctor's complaining that his ear was itchy - only to discover that a three-inch insect burying in his ear canal was the source of his discomfort.A doctor then had to carefully remove the twitching creepy-crawly, using tiny tweezers to pinch the bug and pull it out of the ear. A video taken of the incredible procedure was posted online. Experts have suggested the cricket crawled in the ear in search of shelter during daylight hours. Michael Sweet, lecturer at the University of Derby, an expert on invertebrate biology, identified the creature to Daily Star Online as an Indian house cricket. He said: 'These critters are known to be an invasive species, appearing all over the globe.'They like warm countries and hide during the day. It is likely this cricket crawled into the man's ear while he was sleeping and was just hiding there until night came around.'The footage, thought to have been filmed by doctors at the South Zone ENT Research Centre in Villupuram, Tamil Nadu, India, starts with a camera that looks inside the patient's ear and shows the insect's legs twitching in the air.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
