Bet it's a dragon fly nymph. Does it look something like this?

Those can be dangerous to young fish, but shouldn't hurt your adults. I would remove it anyway just because. Probably came in as an even smaller version on one of your plants. It's doubtful you have any others, but possible.

I used to have a TC badge a month in the past, however then it disappeared. Probably has anything to do with the truth that I were long past for approximately a month and now not answering any questions. Haven't gotten yet another one considering that. Oh good, no lawsuits right here. :) MQ: I revel in Classical, Folk, Jazz, Rock (normally conventional rock even though), and slightly little bit of Ska. So, I wager five? Keep in brain while I point out the ones genres, I additionally imply the subgenres that fall beneath it as good. Peace!

I am with MM on that one. Your description sounds like a dragonfly nymph.
