He had woken up in the night complaining of a painful and itchy right ear. Good thing he went immediately to the hospital for checkup.

The worst part was that the insect had given birth to 25 more babies inside his ear.
According to the doctors, the cockroach had crawled inside Mr. Li's ear and laid eggs several weeks earlier.
This caused severe congestion and swelling of Mr Li’s right ear, as well as damage to the skin in the ear canal.
The doctor later extracted the cockroach from his ear, measuring 0.3 inches long.

Cockroaches are nocturnal creatures that prefer dark and warm environments such as the inside of an ear canal. Depending on temperature, a typical batch of cockroach eggs can take between 24 to 70 days to hatch, which means the mother cockroach may have been living in Mr. Li's ear for some time.
Roaches are some species that are capable of surviving for a month without food and are able to survive on limited resources.
