If it helps the spirit do whatever she has in mind, then I don't see why
they wouldn't. OTOH they should be unpredictable (to humans, at least --
to other mantis spirits, they may be transparent as a window pane).

They'd probably form the basis of all matis <-> human interaction, because
it's unlikely the mantis has had any previous experience with (meta)humans
before it occupied the host body. IMHO the mantis would base its decisions
at least in part on the values and judgments of the host.

I don't think so -- the insect spirit takes over completely, and pushes
the original mind/personality out of the way, to be referred to when
necessary. If the spirit is a good actor, it could be able to fool
everyone that it is a (meta)human, but the spirit takes control at all
times.
