A few days ago, there was news that a special kind of insect is coming out from under the ground in America after 17 years. Now these insects are once again in the news because they have disturbed the first foreign trip of US President Joe Biden. When Biden arrived at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday for his first overseas trip, a cicada sat on the back of his neck during a conversation with Air Force officials. Breaking the circle of all security, this worm reached Biden, after which the US President removed it.After this, Joe Biden also told the reporters present there that you guys beware of cicada. One has just sat on top of me. This video of the US President is also becoming quite viral on social media.Dozens of journalists were accompanying him to the United Kingdom for Biden's first overseas trip. However, the chartered plane of these journalists was also victimized by cicada insects and due to this the plane could be operated after 7 hours.
These insects had also entered the plane's engine, due to which the time of this flight had to be extended a lot. This plane was supposed to take off at 9 pm but finally it was ready for takeoff at 2.15 pm.It is worth noting that Washington D.C. The area is one of several parts of the Americas that have been affected by cicada herds. These insects are slowly emerging in 15 states of America. Cicada had earlier come out in the year 2004 and it is being said that now it will not be seen until 2038.Scientists say that there is no danger from the cicada insect because they neither find nor bite humans. Cicada insects can be up to 2 inches in length. They are usually black in appearance and have orange feathers. These red-eyed insects have six legs.President Biden was hit in the neck with a cicada while chatting with a uniformed military officer before boarding Air Force One for a week-long tour of western Europe https://t.co/eWdBtK8jN2 pic.twitter.com/6wFGMxsLgN
