yep damsel fly larvae. they are quite neat actually. after spending a year or so in the water they hatch into "damselflys" aka mini dragon flies.

They're pretty cool. And they only eat very small shrimp and very small (like day old babies, and even then they have to be by the substrate or floating plants). The larger dragon fly nymphs are more of a threat.
This is one just emerging from the water, before the beautiful transparent wings expand.
