After waking up with excruciating pain in one ear, an Arkansas teenager decide to investigate.

Feeling something strange in his ear, Grant Botti,14, said he reached in and pulled out the culprit: a four-inch long centipede.

Botti's mother, Angela Botti, placed the centipede, still alive, in a plastic bag and took the teen, of Saline County, to the emergency room, KATV reports.
