A CNN reporter had an unexpected sidekick on Thursday when a cicada joined him during preparations for a live shot.Â

Unnoticed at first, the bug crept up Manu Rajuâ€™s jacket, over his shoulder and then disappeared behind his neck.Â Seconds later, Raju felt the bug, threw it off his body and let out a groan of disgust along with a few four-letter words:Â

Try telling that to people who find them crawling up their necks.Â
