One of the things that stinks about being a reporter, is that you have to report from the elements. KSNT‘s Katya Leick was reporting from Fort Riley when a bunch of cicadas decided they wanted their moment in the spotlight. They kept hugging the camera like a bunch of drunk guys after their team wins, and both are just as annoying to a reporter. Although, for Leick the buggers were more of fright, than a nuisance. Especially, when one of them landed on her face.
So watch her scream over and over in fear as they attack her. You’d think she would’ve felt safe doing her standup from a tank, but nope. What makes if ever funnier is that there are a bunch of army men nearby, who are supposed to serve and protect, and they did none of that as she screeched each time one came within her airspace. Good thing they didn’t give her rifle as a prop because I am sure she would’ve tried to shoot them all down and instead she would’ve hit everything else but them.
As someone who is afraid of bugs too, I totally understand her reaction.
