On an Insect

In a remote province in what is now East Berlin, there is a tomb allegedly belonging to a humanoid praying mantis. The earliest actual record of this creature goes as far back as 100 AD, in a manuscript labelled Caudex Orantes Manteium, where it is implied amidst reams of unrelated verse that the Saviour was an insect, and that he will come again in the form of an insect and spread divine plague.
The Caudex Orantes Manteium was burned yesterday by a drunk sweeper in a museum in West Wales, after he broke into the display unit and tore it apart page by page.
