The staffer at an ear-picking store in Liaoyuan, Northeast China's Jilin Province, has spotted another "interesting" discovery after cleaning an 8-year-old boy's ear, where a dead ladybug was found and taken out. 

The boy came to the ear-picking store with his parents on Saturday after suffering several days of discomfort in one ear.

The boy's parents thought it was a sore throat that made his ear ache, but to their astonishment, a dead ladybug found in his ear turned out to be the cause.

However, the staff did not find the scenario strange. "I have seen many different things while picking ears for customers," one said.
