The praying mantis are often considered as aliens. They are described as benevolent entities and often perform some medical surgery (most of the time brain surgery) on the tripper.
“I eared “can you see them ?”, and a mantis face appeared, then its body. It took some little colored objects from my chest saying that I didn’t needed them. It said that they (the mantis people) were willing to help humans, that we just needed to ask for them and they would appear. I understood that it was some kind of duty to them.”

“Smoked my way through the looking glass. I didn’t see any machine elves but I remember vividly… This dome surrounding me, it was like a fractal dome, immensely complex, it was like an MC Escher artpiece multiplied astronomically with the most brilliant technicolor. I saw a rather large praying mantis that also resembled a fractal. One thing I can surmise, possibly, is that our universe and fractals are interrelated.”

“A huge paying mantis came near me. It was much taller than me. It told me to stay cam and stop beathing while it kind of opened my brain and worked on it with its long insectoïd arms. I could see the scene like if I was looking in a mirror. After a minute it was done and I could breath again. I felt so well for a moment, my mind was so peaceful and calm.”

“It was fairly large, (8-9 feet) green, and only the front half of the body was visible. The body was fairly smooth without much detail, almost robotic. Right away i realized this was a praying mantis, even though it didn’t look like a bug specifically in terms of all the intricate details. But it was very real, and separate from me. It was floating and just moving its arms above me as it was doing something to me. I was totally hypnotized without any emotion or intellectual processing, any thought , or any sense of me or my body. I was just there observing that experience. The emotion was neutral, there was no emotion. The only reason I remembered this was when the day after a friend mentioned a praying mantis logo on a bottle, and I had a flashback of this moment, meaning that my brain was in a very deep hypnotic rem-like state.
When I mentioned this to a friend, he told me that a bunch of people report and talk about entities on psychedelic experiences so I googled the praying mantis specifically. The crazy thing is that the 7-8 trip reports I found of people talking about mantis entities are described in the same way – the mantis floating above them, the emotional feeling being neutral, and the mantis performing some type of surgery or work on the person.”

“Insectoid aliens were examining me at one point. Think human body with a mantis head. Very impartial to my presence. One of them reached into my body around the pelvic area and readjusted something, and I actually heard my body respond (ie that liquid moving around sound).”
//
“At this time a very clear mantis image appeared and took a long hard look at the experiencer. “Really?!” was the only response the experiencer could come up with. “No, not really, you could not truly understand what we really are and so we appear like this to you…” (this from a mantis!)
At this point the mantis-dominated visions gave way to a triangular imagery that emanated from the area of the third eye. The feeling was one of receiving huge amounts of raw data in a purely visual form. Open the eye — visions gone — close the eyes— visions instantly just as strong as before. It was at this point the voice from the mantis (or the guy in khakis — who knows?) said “If you keep focusing on these images you will die.” OK, eyes open. He elaborated further, “You must learn to see with your blind spot for that is where reality truly manifests from. See what you cannot see and you will know.””

“Not to freak people out but these mantis being and or insect ours are not benevolent beings!! Warning!!!! Tell them to stay away from you!! I had one to F off literally several times!!!! When they go into your body they take DNA, females eggs, screw with your energy Center. Keep away they come in very innocently but in actuality they are harvesting things from humans, in the astral. Beware paychonaughts!!!”

“Very quickly the surroundings become too intense to stay by the window and I decide to lie down on the sofa. I can sense the presence of an insectoid being. He seems to be watching me and I soon feel his limbs (at least 4) working on my electric body. Its actions are focused on dense energy points that I think are my nerves. I go back down and I feel that his work is not done …”
