When a Kansas reporter said she was having a rough day at work, she wasn’t kidding.

KSNT’s Katya Leick was on location at a U.S. Army base covering a story about live-fire drills when she came under attack by a swarm of cicadas.

The large flying insects repeatedly land on Leick as she valiantly tries to complete her report. The video captures Leick shrieking and flailing about, trying to rid herself of the pests.

Leick drops the microphone at one point when a cicada lands near her mouth.

To her credit, Leick is able to laugh about the incident. She posted on her Facebook page that it was okay to laugh at her, along with a link to the YouTube video titled, "News Reporter Freakout!"
