ID Needed - Hitch Hiker - With PICTURES

[saltman123]

I just received an order of stuff and found a little hitch hiker type shrimp. It looks like a little shrimp pod, but has white and brown/black lines all over it.

The order came from stuff that was caught in the ocean/wild so I want to be sure this isn't a bad hitch hiker.

Anyone know? Keep or not?

It kind of looks like a bug on the edge of a sink. Personally I'd swat it and kill it . It's probably is some kind of pod/crustacean. I'm sure someone who's not awake at 2 AM will provide useful information, as even I wouldn't trust an insomniac holding a can of Raid.......
