Add it to the blooper reel! Kansas reporter Katya Leick didn’t get interrupted by streakers or obnoxious onlookers on-camera, but she did get bugged out in another way! The KSNT journalist recently freaked out when she found herself fighting off pesky cicadas while trying to report from a military base.
But it gets worse. Instead of calling it a day — or moving to another location! — Leick stayed put. She started from the top several more times, and even had a cicada land on her mouth. (Seriously gross!)
“Every time I tried to start talking, they’d come. I was like, ‘I need to hold it together, come on, I just have to get this done with,'” Leick, 24, told ABC News. “I was lucky it was just cicadas and not something poisonous. They sound even more annoying than anything.”
She joked: “Sometimes you just have to take what Mother Nature throws at you.”
