Just had this try to climb into my ear!

There I was dozing in bed a while ago when I felt something crawling on my right ear! Luckily I sleep with ear plugs in, so it didn't make it. I didn't see it till I had it between my thumb and finger. I threw it across the bedroom, finding it later, hence the photo'. I dropped it out my window after taking that pic'. What is it?!🤔

I've seen them before, some are a very nice light green. They don't bite.

Those are brain beetles. It was crawling out rather than in, after metamorphosing from the parasitic larval stage

I used to think he was the worst actor ever - that was until Star Trek IV

Not that he was any good in it, just that Catherine Hicks was worse

Quite right. They also damage the area of the brain that controls paranoia

Or do they ?

It's possible that it could be the larval stage of a Babel Fish!!

Looks like a type of Shield Bug. I doubt if it has much interest in ears. I hope that you put it gently outside. They can fly, if they have to.

That's just what the government wants you to think...

Looks kinda anorexic to me
