Can anyone help me id this guy? Also if it is harmful can you tell me how to catch it?
 
Good try but your pic makes it hard to tell. It has a segmented carapace and tail like a lobster, but it seems as though a type of mantis shrimp would be more likely. Does it have antenae, claws, or a fanned tail? Can you get any more pics of it?
 
It does have antenae and a fanned tail but I couldn't tell about claws. I have only seen it this one time so more pictures are kind of a problem. Any idea on how to catch it?
 
Its a mantis for sure. Try posting over in the mantis forums on how to trap the little guy. Im sure someone there would also take him if you dont want him.
