Why did you kill it ? some people are just plain thick. Next time, pick it up and put it outside you No insults! and be more responsible. Are people still this stupid? I would like to think we have evolved enough to respect life.

You call it Rape I call it Surprise sex.
It's the Surprise sex beetle which has been known to mistake Human ears for female Surprise sex beetle genitalia leading to the medical condition of Sticky Ear.

Leave the window open and go to sleep. If another enters you'll find out how it got its name.
