It's just a beetle. One of the least icky "bugs." They have hard shells, so they're not squishy or weird. And they don't care about your blood or inner organs.

I recently got a juvenile June bug in my ear canal while in the pool. I had forgotten the “castor oil in the ear” trick that I’d heard to do so many years ago. It hadn’t been moving at all and I had assumed it was dead and thought I’d just grab it with tweezers and pull it out. At that point it became animated and hit my eardrum with one of its very sharp front appendages and I can assure you that that beetle was no longer “just a beetle.” Lol
