With this power the psionicist attunes his mind to insectoid life. You can imbue lower insects within 60 feet of you with enhanced intellectual abilities and automatic contact with them, giving them the ability to communicate with you and follow your simple commands. You can question bugs about events that happened within the past day, gaining information about creatures that have passed, weather, and other circumstances.
Insects might be able to perform tasks on your behalf, at the GM's discretion. Especially swarms of insects or be able to form a swam from a hive.
If the insect is already intelligent, with a greater understanding of insect thinking, the psionicist gains a proficiency to his Charisma score when dealing with insects (he adds it again if he is already proficient).
This power is commonly used when dealing with thri-kreen. Ambassadors to thri-kreen nations usually bring along a psionicist with this power.
