Yesterday i hiked in Bolsena lake, Italy. I felt this insect moving into my ear. So i smashed my ear and this is the result. Please tell me that there are no risks related to Lyme desease or similar. Sorry for the bad quality of the photo.

It is probably a beetle. The shape of legs and the two big eyes are an insect thing. Lyme desease is transmitted by ticks, so i would not worry.

1$\begingroup$ @FedericoJuvara many (though not all) beetles have wings. They're usually protected and hidden under the elytra when not in use though. Check out simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetle#Wings for a picture and more information. $\endgroup$– SyndicJul 1, 2020 at 8:56
