    Charnas died recently, I was fairly sad about that. There's also overlap with The Hunger (the novel, not the film which was made from it) in terms of having a separate species. Or Katt Shea's Dance of the Damned.

    The X-Files episode "Folie a Deux" featured an insect which "fit in" among humans. You might like that.
