A US boy who kept hearing popping and crackling sounds was stunned to find two spiders living inside his ear.
Jesse Courtney, nine, of Albany, Oregon, had complained to his mum about the "Rice Krispies" sound.
She took him to the doctor who discovered the problem was caused by spiders nesting in his ear canal.
The pair of them were flushed out with water, reports The Sun.
Jesse said: "They were walking on my eardrum and I kept hearing this popping sound like Rice Krispies.
"The doctor gave them to me to keep as a souvenir and I have taken them to school to show my friends.
"It was really interesting. I mean, spiders living in my ear - how many other kids can say that!"
Jesse's mum Diane said: "My first reaction was to go home and bomb the house."
She thinks the spiders got into Jesse's ear as they weeded the garden together.
