"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, hell no!" That's what would've been our exact response if someone asked us if we would've done what ESPN's Jeremy Schaap did a short while ago in Manaus. While doing a live report on ABC, Schaap had two giant bugs called cicadas on him like it was nothing. At first, people thought dude was trying to get through the ordeal without making it a big deal, but the man himself eventually cleared it up on Twitter.
Hate to disappoint everyone. We PUT those bugs on my shoulder and microphone. If they'd just flown onto me, I would have shrieked.
To show you how ridiculously large these cicadas can get, Schaap shared a couple tweets:
“@JeremySchaap: Not photoshopped... pic.twitter.com/pFwVD02keu” Challenges notion that it's just like Miami. Only cockroaches this big in Miami.

Why do we feel real itchy all of a sudden?!
