That : That can be a very concerning feling. When a bug really is in the ear it is usually quite painful. It may need a doctor to remove it. More often that not, that feeling af a bug is due to inflammation of the very sensitive skin of the ear canal. A physician may be able to determine the cause and give appropriate recommendations.

It's happening again: Has there ever been a bug discovered in your ear? Have you been in an area where you think you may have been exposed to a ballooning spider? Ear pests are transmittable and quite annoying. Do not worry, they are very curable and will not (contrary to what hollywood says) eat their way into your brain to lay eggs. Do a simple q-tip test. Clean your ear with a q-tip and look at the wax. Any signs ?
