No. The ears are not connect to each other by any passageways. Earwigs do not make a habit of crawling into people's ears.

Do earwigs live in your ear?

The name for the bugs may come from the old wives' tale that earwigs burrow into the body through the ear.Earwigs are omnivores that are predisposed to hiding in warm humid crevices, and so one may crawl into a human ear canal. Yet it is not possible for an earwig to crawl inside your brain because the eardrum blocks the passageway.Most entomologists (bug scientists) claim this is just an old wives tale, and that earwigs absolutely do not enter humans' ears. They point to the insects open wings looking like an ear as a possible explanation for how "ear" got into the name "earwig" or from the fable about earwigs burrowing into the brains of humans through the ear and therein lay their eggs.Earwigs are omnivores that are predisposed to hiding in warm humid crevices and as such one may crawl into a human ear canal. It would be very rare but has been known to happen.If you think you have an insect in your ear, it would be a good idea to get medical attention.


Can earwigs go into a humans brain?

Earwig is derived from Old English ?are "ear" and wicga, 'insect'. (Wicga is in turn related to wiggle, and ultimately to other words implying movement, including way and vehicle, all from PIE wegh-.) The name comes from the old wives' tale that earwigs burrow into the brains of humans through the ear and therein lay their eggs. Earwigs are omnivores that are evolutionarily predisposed to hiding in warm humid crevices and as such one may crawl into a human ear canal. This is not, however, a location where they are frequently found. In short, it is extremely unlikely for an earwig to burrow into a brain. No more so likely than any other insect doing so.

Moth mite is what symbiosis?

In one particualr symbiotic relationship between mites and moths, mites of the genus Dicrocheles infest one "ear" of a moth. The moth's ear has three chambers, one of which is separated from the other two by the eardrum. The mites crawl into the moth's ear to lay their eggs, and in the process puncture the delicate eardrum, leaing the moth deaf in that ear. However, the mites are careful to colonize only one ear, because if they were to colonize both ears, the moth would be fully deaf and would be unable to hear approaching bats. The bat would eat the mites along with the moth.
