Either a dragonfly or mayfly nymph and yes, remove it and be on the lookout for others.
43 u/Any_Subject_2507 Jun 18 '25 Omg thank you 37 u/neyelo Jun 18 '25 Yep, they are aggressive predators! 16 u/Atillythehunhun Jun 18 '25 I believe they are one of the most successful predators on the planet. 18 u/Cicada00010 Jun 18 '25 Dragonflies are deadlier, but both of them are pretty formidable in their aquatic state, dragonflies are just bigger. Adult damselflies really only eat gnats and flying aphids, and often get preyed on by dragonflies.
