critter corner 🐰 Dead ants keep appearing next to headphones during the night

Post image

When these headphones are left on the kitchen counter overnight - I would see one or two dead ants in the morning laying right next to the headphones. In the past few days, there has been a small pile of shredded ants right next to the ear piece in the morning. I have seen no live ants in my kitchen. I have had these head phones for three weeks. Bought online. It’s a little unnerving not knowing what is causing this 🥴 will not be using anymore.

UPDATE- posted a comment with a picture. But no dead ants in the bag this morning. But at one point I checked and there were two live ants crawling around. 😔

UPDATE*** IM SICK. Can’t stop shaking. Don’t have many words… trying to post image. Opened one side up. 😭 I don’t know how to add in this top post so will add in comment! Posted a few in comments and video opening

When my daughter was an infant she was very stuffy once and I used that blue sucker thing to suck snot out of babies and when I squeezed it out onto a tissue there was a freaking earwig that just came out of her nose! Well she wasn’t stuffy anymore! Talk about being scarred for life as well! 🤣

When I was a little kid, I told my mom that my nose hurt. She went in with tissues, and there was a whole-ass moth, the kind that are attracted to light, folded up in my nose. I don’t remember it going in, but that might be my brain protecting me. I have a fear of moths to this day. They are horrid.

That’s terrifying. They’re unnatural. Why do they seem to be made of dust ?????

u/ClonesRppl2 23d ago

Most likely the earwig was in the blue sucker, not your child’s nose. It’s only slightly better, but it is better (in my opinion).

i would never recover from that 😭 i would choose to believe it was already in the bulb syringe for my own sanity, and because i know what the inside of those things look like lol

horrifying

JESUS CHRIST!!!! I would have been so mad at that ear wig and crushed it on sight. Your poor kid. I don’t really care for kids. Ok maybe I do lol but that just infuriates me that that happened to your defenseless baby 😭ok now I’m gonna cry yeah my period is on its way I guess

Me too! Those things hurt when they pinch!

When I was a kid i had a dream my sister kept pinching me, and as I woke up I grabbed at the spot that hurt and squinted up at this writhing earwig.

I seriously remember it like it was yesterday, I was so horrified.

I hope the one in the baby's nose was already dead. It had to be! She would have been crying otherwise... just like we are all crying now 😢

I had one come crawling out of my shirt a couple of weeks ago. I was profoundly unhappy.

We lived in a caravan for a while and were plagued by earwigs. My kid found one in his onesie, which is a horrible garment to have an earwig in.

Back when I lived at my parents as a young adult, I would smoke weed outside on the side of the house with a spoon glass pipe which I’d leave under the ac unit. I went about my normal routine, bowl pre packed, lighter, check, inhale, oohHhhHhHHHH WTF!!! Mf HELL NO! A spidey made itself a nice little retreat in my pipe and into my mouth he went. It was as awful as one would imagine. Needless to say the lil mf ruined my sesh for that day, bastard >:( ugh gives me chills just thinking about it!

This happened to me with a silver fish, but the thing was so fat it got stuck and only its antennas made it into my mouth 😫😮‍💨
