WINDOW WATCH
Mantis Appears at Bedroom Window; Screen Intact, Resident Puzzled
A Reddit user posting to r/Experiencers wonders aloud how an insect, or perhaps something more, arrived on the glass upon waking.
THE INTERNET — A Reddit user posting to r/Experiencers reports that on waking this week they discovered a mantis perched on their bedroom window, a circumstance the author describes as difficult to explain.
According to the post, the window is fitted with a screen, which has no cracks and offers no apparent way for an insect to pass through. The author, who opens with the cautious admission that they "might be delusional," does not claim certainty about what the visitor was.
The writer adds that they have never had any other experience with so-called mantis beings, a figure familiar in some experiencer circles. They say they had only wondered idly what it might be like to meet one.
The submission is a link or image post and carries no further text. No photograph description, location, or account of the creature's behavior is given in the material available, and the author offers no conclusion.
Readers will note that the common praying mantis is a well-known garden insect, and the post itself does not rule out a natural explanation. The author, for their part, appears content to leave the matter as a question.
