Praying Mantis Type

These beings have long narrow faces, with long narrow, large eyes, sharply slanted upward and outward in an almost narrow-V position, giving them an almost insect-like appearance. This comparison is heightened by the Praying-Mantis types' extremely thin long torsos, long, extremely-thin arms which are usually crooked into a a sharp bend at the mid-joint, with the hand and fingers/mitten sloping almost vertically downward from the 'wrist', and legs also bent at an almost right angle at the mid-joint, creating a crouched pose. The overall effect is the characteristic 'Praying Mantis' look. It should be noted that experiencers feel that this type is no insect, but rather an intelligent, gentle-spirited, but somewhat 'hyper' and jerky-moving, human-life form, both males and females.
