Strange Creature Apperared, Nymph?

[Avinitlarge]

Had the little tank set up for quite a few months now, Used it for killifish fry but now it has guppy fry in it, Nothing new has been added to the tank since it was set up months ago, This morning I noticed something new, Funny, Ugly little thing, I belive its some kinda nymph, Will it eat the guppy fry?? The main thing thats bothering me is where it has come from??? It is about 15mm long.

To me it looks like a dragonfly nymph and if so will eat small fish. See if theres a swamp area near you or a pond and release it.

It's not the best pic, but it looks like a cockroach or a cricket or somethin from related, but it certainly isn't a dragon fly larvae, as those are green have giant spring jaws and legs further back (i'm an insect lover ).

I agree, looks like some kind of nymph.... it's kinda cute
You should set up a small tank for it and see what it turns into!

Im positive its a dragonfly nymph and can live under water for a year. It couldve come in on a plant. Heres a good pic of one, just scroll down a little bit

Yeah it's a nymph, Predatory, and the fry are at risk as long as it remains. Get rid.
