Mantids

Attributed ~1980

Insectoid 'praying mantis' beings reported in some abduction and DMT-experience accounts.

Often described as authoritative or supervisory figures during abduction experiences. Notable in the work of researchers like Mary Rodwell. The figure also recurs in DMT 'machine elf' literature, suggesting either a shared archetype or a shared neurological substrate.
