Watch As CNN's Manu Raju Has A Cicada Crawl Up His Neck During Live Broadcast

A cicada crawled onto a reporter’s head during a live shot in Washington, as the insect’s once-in-a-generation coming out party continues to make headlines.

CNN reporter Manu Raju tweeted a clip of him being bugged by the unwanted visitor — which appears to be almost the same size as the knot on his tie — while filming a stand-up at the US Capitol Thursday.

The large insect can be seen crawling up Raju’s lapel and onto the back of his neck, before the political reporter takes notice and flicks the insect out of his hair while screaming out in profanity.
