A doctor in south China removed a live spider weaving webs in a woman's ear on April 22.

The video, filmed in the city of Mianyang in Sichuan Province, shows a three-millimetre spider crawling around in a woman's ear weaving webs.

According to reports, the woman's ear was itchy and had tinnitus after she did some work in the yard.

The doctor named Liu Jun put some liquid medicine into the woman's ear to sedate the spider before taking it out.

Fortunately, as the spider is small, the woman's hearing was not damaged.
