First of all, DO NOT use q-tip, tweezer, bobby pin, or any other such "tools" in your ear. That would be like asking for something much worse to happen to you.
Put several drops of hydrogen peroxide in the ear, let it stay till it does the bubbling thing, then drain on a folded solid color washcloth, preferably a white or light color. Check washcloth to see if insect came out. You may have to do this several times.
If needed, follow this with a few drops of mineral oil or baby oil, using same procedure as with h. peroxide.
Repeat the process in 30 minutes if you did not have success first time.
If still not successful go to the doctor.

try flushing ear with water mutiple times
& cue-tips.

sry i cant spell. ^E

Pour some rubbing alcohol or peroxide in your ear. Or if you know someone who smokes, have them blow smoke in your ear.

BTW, anyone I've ever seen with a bug in their ear KNOWS it.

I know that happened one time at camp in highschool to agirl and they poured alot of water in her ear, until the bug crawled out. But if that doesn't go to the doc.

I KNOW THIS ONE!!!
This earlly weird (and very loud bug) flew in my brother ear last year.
It was half alive and still buzzing (which pissed by brother off because it was so loud) but squished to the side of his inner ear.
We poured water in his year and it floated to the top :)
some extra pokeing around in the ear might be needed to get it unstuck from your ear

Flushing with water is good or even using perioxide but please dont dig(with anything , even q tips) too deep to get it out! If it is that deep, see a doctor! You could hurt your ear drum!

let the person lie down with ear that has insect on top then put a few drops of oil, let it stay for a few minutes then let the it drain by turning your head the other way.

Insects in the ear canal are often killed with either lidocaine (an anesthetic) or mineral oil. They are then flushed out with gentle warm water irrigation. If the bug is very small you can try to gently shake it out. Pulling the back of the ear (the pinna) gently toward the back of the head straightens out the ear canal and may roll or slide out with a gentle shake of the ear. Whatever you do, do not put ANYTHING in your ear!! I think you should see a doc just in case

ask your mom if she can dig it out with a tweezers.
flush your ear or go swimming.
lay on a heating pad or hot wash cloth it'll loosen the wax in your ear.
good luck

I work in a hospital we use cooking oil but you should really see a doctor and I would'nt be sticking ear buds in just yet.
