John Oliver informs cicadas they must bow to Beyoncé

Have you heard the biggest story of the year, according to John Oliver? No it's not what you think it is. It doesn't have to do with politics or pop culture or anything. It's about bugs. Cicadas to be specific.

Yes those noisy, gross little beasts are coming back this year. If you have never been treated to their presence they're a kind of insect that hibernates for 17 years before surfacing. And so since this batch of cicadas has been out of commission since 1999, Oliver is here to help them catch up on everything they've missed. The jist? Beyoncé is our Queen and all those little bugs need to BOW DOWN.
