Baby Mantis Shrimp?

[the mantis lover]

I need a picture of the full mantis shrimp life cycle specifically the basher class because a bunch of small mantis shrimp-like things popped up in my mantis shrimp tank and know they can hold sperm for a long period of time. my camera is absolute poo so I can't get a picture of a 1-2mm sized thing.

I dont know what the juveniles look like but thatd be awesome to see a mantis reproduce in captivity. And you're sure theyre not amphipods?

I looked at it under a small microscope and it looks really friken close to a mantis shrimp.
