This is the moment a mum used an earbud camera to discover a spider's nest - inside her ear, she claims.

Lucy Wild, 29, made the grim discovery while investigating ear pain, thinking it was a build up of wax.

She had pulled a spider from her ear three weeks earlier and thought that was the end of the ordeal.

But a "scratchy" pain persisted so the mum-of-three sent the camera - a Smartbud - for another look.

And she was shocked to find what she claims to be a spider's nest - which she said was like something out of a sci-fi.
