Watch the cicadas attack Biden during his first trip outside America
US President Joe Biden had a funny situation when he was attacked by giant cicadas while he was at the airport before his first trip outside the United States of America to Europe, to attend the G7 summit.
Biden appeared in several photos and videos while the insect was standing on his neck, as he pushed it away from him, and told a number of journalists before taking off from the airport: "Watch out for cicadas." "I've got one," according to Fox News.
The flight of a plane carrying journalists accompanying Joe Biden, to cover his first foreign visit, was delayed, but not because of bad weather or the delay of the pilot, as the chartered plane suffered from technical problems, due to the insects "cicadas", or "cicadas" that invade large areas of the eastern United States .
An alternative plane was called to take journalists from Dulles International Airport, near Washington, DC, to the United Kingdom early Wednesday morning, after waiting for more than six hours.

For the first time in 17 years, about 15 US states are witnessing an invasion of "billions" of harvest cicadas or "cicadas", which are famous for their red eyes and ability to fly.
And US press reports quoted that some places in these states are "really overcrowded" with insects with a distinctive buzz, as they cover walls and trees.
But in other areas, the temperature of the earth has not yet risen to the degree that the cicadas can emerge en masse, knowing that they live under the soil and appear once every 13 to 17 years.
When they emerge from the soil, these insects shed their exoskeletons and can settle on trees, doorsteps, sidewalks, cars, and even people who don't keep them away.
