[PC][Early 2000s] 3D action game where you play as a green anthropomorphic mantis or cricket fighting men in black suits who descend from the sky on a floating grass platform.

Hi! This has been driving me crazy for years and I genuinely cannot find it anywhere, so I'm hoping someone here recognizes it. I know this is going to sound like a fever dream but I genuinely believe this game existed, I'm not making it up I promise!

I played this on PC sometime in the early 2000s, the game was in English. It was a 3D action game where you played as a green anthropomorphic insect, I believe it was a praying mantis or a cricket, that walked upright and fought using karate and martial arts moves.

One thing that really stood out was the camera: it was a fixed medium shot showing the character from the waist up, which felt very unusual for a 3D game. The character took up a lot of the screen.

The environment I remember was very lush and bright — flat green grass everywhere, vivid blue sky, no trees that I can recall. It looked almost like a golf course. The colors were very saturated and cartoonish but in full 3D.

The enemies were men dressed in black suits, kind of like MIB agents.

The moment I remember most vividly is a cutscene where the black-suited agents descend from the sky standing on a floating chunk of green earth or grass, like a flying platform made of ground, and then you fight them. That image has stayed with me for over 20 years and I can picture it clear as day, so I know I'm not imagining it.

I tried my best to remember some of the details but they might not be 100% accurate.

It is NOT Bugdom, Bugdom 2, A Bug's Life, Zapper: One Wicked Cricket, Antz, Mister Mosquito, Otto Matic, or Firo & Klawd. I've gone through all the obvious ones.

Any help appreciated, this is a core childhood memory and I need closure!
