Damselfly

I found this in my tiger shrimp tank today:

That tank has all manner of odd invertibrates in it that can only have come in on plants (there's a lot of new ones in there, all from Oriental). All shrmip are accounted for so I *guess* damselfly larva don't eat shrimp. At least adult ones.

I found two nymphs (on two separate occasions) in my tank. Nearly made me wet myself :lol: . The LFS that I buy most of my plants from does receive large orders from Oriental, and I've seen damselflies flying around in the shop. Even found a nymph in a bag with plants right after I brought them home. I guess it's just "one of those things" you have to put up with when you treat yourself to those rare, exotic species of plants from the Far East ;-) . I suppose it's a tad better than ending up with a mantis shrimp from buying wild-harvested frags. Sort of.

Don't you mean "It will gladly take off your hands"? ;-)

I'm not a SW hobbyist, though, so I'm stuck with creepy nymphs :x .
