Good one! You should be a doctor!
Okay. I wonder why the doctor couldn't have figured it out. But anyway, the insect flew into the ear - which was dark. And now, needed light to be lured out? It went into a dark space in the first place.
That was a bright idea.
I liked this one becaus eit happened to me but the insect ame out about 2 days later ..dead 
That gave me the willies...
that teaser traumatized me . when i was little i saw the wrath of khan (i thinkthat's the one it was) and they put those humongous weevil things in their ears . that's the only part that i remember from the movie ! devastation for life !
this happened with me last month and it took two days for it to come out. wish i had read this teaser before. 
poor sputnik and dishu... but great teaser!
yay, i got it.. nice one
Vigo, I feel your pain! Yes, that was Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and that scene scared the daylights out of me when I was a kid. It still gives me the shivers...
Very fun, very creepy teaser.

That happened to me a few years ago when I was camping. A spider crawled into my ear and stayed there rattling around for over a day before I thought about using a flashlight. 
pooor Sputnik!
OK, which doctor is that so I can make a note NOT to go there?
a) I think this is science. (not sure)
b) some insects actually prefer the dark so I think it would be better if you told what insect it was specifically.
Overall it was a good teaser and I will be adding it to my favorite!
