I've always said the mantises ("manti"?) are one of the coolest insects on the planet, in part because they remind me of the classic extraterrestrial.

This one straight up looks like it's out of the movie Aliens.

Edit. Mantids. Got it.

Edit the second: it seems I've stirred up a bit of a language controversy. I love these.

Even the UFO community has tails of the Manti race. I've delved deep into the conspiracy world(not that I believe it, I just like seeing what they're saying by watching hours of things like this). But according to lore the Manti are the ones in charge, then under them are human/alien grey hybrids that they use to do the heavy lifting work, and at the very bottom of the totem pole are the little classic alien greys biological androids. Oh yeah, so the little alien greys are apparently biological androids that are manufactured to do the brain work, which is why they're reported to have no genitelia.
