Did you recently purchase plants? They almost look like damselfly nymph. Very bad for shrimp.

Yep, they do look like some type of damselfly (or related species) larvae. They are usually predatory.

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.
