You may have seen this one in the news last month; as the impressively calm singer Katie Melua announced she€™d had a spider living in her ear for an entire week. She even Instagrammed it saying: €œThough the thing looked TERRIFYING up-close on the doctor€™s camera, once he took him out it was pretty small, and now it€™s in this little test tube, alive and seemingly fine.€ The Salticidae, or jumping spider, was found when Katie went to the doctor complaining of a rustling sound in her ear. It€™s thought to have sneaked in via some old earbud headphones Melua had been using to block out sound on a flight. That's us triple-checking our iPod next time we leave the house.
