Think having a spider crawl in your ear is an urban legend?
Well, it happened to British pop star Katie Melua.
The singer posted a video to Instagram of a jumping spider before removal, the Telegraphreports.
“Basically I used these old in-ear monitors to block out sound on a flight, a little spider must have been in them and crawled inside my ear and stayed there for the week,” Melua said.
My God, I don’t want to imagine what that spider ingested to live for that week.
Recently had a noseeum (flying insect the size of the point of a pin) take up residence in my ear for a few minutes. Had to use a water filled squeeze bulb to flush out da little bastid. Can’t imagine one week.
Thanks a lot for all this info! Now I’m all creeped out!
It survived on curds and whey and earwax sammiches
“The spider was reportedly released into Melua’s garden, safe and sound.”
I would have handled similarly myself. I would release it on the driveway, then hit the little bastard with a 4 lb. sledge hammer.
I would have passed out or freaked out running down the halls screaming. As soon as they said” it’s a spider”
Man, I hate it when that happens!
I remember back when I had just started my sartorial career, we were on the Floor listening to some blah-blah bullshit about some war in Vietnam or Kornea or some such foreign place and I fell asleep. I had already registered my vote against Nixon, so it didn’t matter what they were yammering about, anyway. Anyhowze, a big-ass cockroach ran inside my left ear! It tickled so bad it woke me up, and I was laughing like a hyena. Everybody stopped talking and looked at me, but I couldn’t quit giggling.
Damn cockroach is still in there! He buzzes once in a while and I can still hear the echoes.
One of God’s many pest control critters.
I guarantee you there are no other bugs in her ear.
For whatever that’s worth.

You will be much more diligent about washing your hands after watching the show or reading his book.
Take a shower once in a while, Katie.
Imagine what’s living in her other orifices? Conjures up an image of Miley Cyrus or Madonna.
