Re: newbie with questions.
Did you recently purchase plants? They almost look like damselfly nymph. Very bad for shrimp.
Re: newbie with questions.
Yep, they do look like some type of damselfly (or related species) larvae. They are usually predatory.

Re: newbie with questions.
I have a koi pond and I would put them there. However if the plants you got are from a completely different part of the country and you are worried of introducing an alien specie then kill them.
