Fox 5 reporter Brad Wills had a close encounter with a large flying insect on Friday while reporting live from a San Diego beach.

In the video, the bug flies close to Wills’ head as he discusses the weather, prompting screams and swats. It’s not long before he realizes what just happened: “Was that live? Are we live? Oh brother,” he says.

Luckily, the weather reporter seems to have taken the laugh-it-off approach to his his on-air freak out, retweeting a GIF and screenshot of the viral moment:
