WATCH: Cicadas Swarm Kansas Reporter on Top of Tank

A reporter for a Kansas NBC station faced a new challenge this week: the return of cicadas.

The cicadas, which make appearances every 17 years, have returned with a vengeance. And as reporter Katya Leick stood atop a tank to deliver a report, screams ensued as the bugs flew around her.

“Let’s just get done so I can get out of here,” she said, as she swatted at the bugs with her microphone.

Eventually, she delivered the reporter and escaped from the cicada swarm.
