A swarm of cicadas managed to delay the White House press corps’s flight to Europe for hours on Tuesday.

The press corps was set to fly from Washington, D.C., to Europe for President Joe Biden’s first overseas trip in office. But the noisy bugs found their way into the chartered plane’s engine — preventing it from taking off, a Delta spokesperson told The Washington Post and CBS News.

The flight, scheduled to take off around 9 p.m. ET was delayed more than six hours, CNN reports.

The president's flight from Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia to the U.K. — his first overseas flight since taking office — was delayed for several hours due to an issue with cicadas, White House officials said.

"Watch out for the cicadas," Biden told press ahead of takeoff. "I just got one — got me."
