News reporter struggled to cope with swarming insects

A reporter in the field was trying to cover live-fire drills at Fort Riley military base in Kansas on Tuesday when she came under attack by a swarm of cicadas.



KSNT reporter Katya Leick, 24, was standing in a tank shooting video while being constantly interrupted by the giant flying bugs around her.



Ms Leick did her best keep composure, though she could barely get a word out before the cicadas would throw her into a fit of disgusted flailing and squeals.

Experts say there is no reason to be afraid of them. They don’t harm people.
