What is the ruling on praying in a place where there is a live insect very close to the worshipper, but without touching it? And does the prayer become invalid by that?

Prayer in a place where there is an insect does not invalidate it, whether it touched the worshiper or not; because the invalidators of prayer are specific and known to scholars, and this is not among them. Nor is doing so considered a sin.
