Are insects actually aliens?

Yes 👍

Praying mantises seem like they could be miniature ones. The way they stare and move their heads. I sat in a lawn chair and watched one do that, it was sitting on the side of the tree watching me.

Only the ones that try to probe you

If so, they need to take me with them

No, but crustaceans are.

They certainly look like them.

On an art sculpture, yes. 😋

You never know, maybe they were sent here to spy on us

Yeah and octopuses are their leaders. 🐙

The ones from the moon are Luna ticks

No, we are!
Think about it.
Before mammals, insects and reptiles ruled this planet.

They’re just here to see if humans are worth invading.

No silly.🦗Insects can't drive a School Bus, let alone a Space Ship thingy....
