Help: Pest ID

[MarkB]

Hi,

I have a 5g RCS shrimp only tank moderately planted, about 2 months old. Today I spotted this creepy thing in the tank. Tries to siphon it but it scrambled away into the drift wood very quickly.

What is this and any danger to the shrimps? And any advice how to catch it?

Thanks,

Google and look like a damselfly nymph...if it is, yes it will be harmful to shrimp.
