STUCK ON ONE NOW...

an insect is stuck at the bottom of a hole 20 ft deep, everyday it manages to climb up two feet but every night falls back one foot.
HOW MANY DAYS DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO THE TOP?

Not sure if it is a trick question as in it wouldn't live that long or just a mathematical poser.

thanks
