Damselfly larva. It´s ok with adults but it will eat larvae.

I don't know what it is but i'm very interested in finding out.

I do not know what that is but by the looks of it I would kill it.

It's harmless. Some sort of insect larvae.

Looks like a damselfly larva to me. Predatory insect.

Like Rodrigo said:

it is no problem for adults (they can even eat it), but it might be a problem for small larvae.
