Dear Pat,
This Assassin Bug is a Corsair, Rasahus hamatus, and though it is not an aggressive species, it will bite if carelessly handled or threatened. Accidentally brushing up against one might also result in a bite and though there are no lasting effects, the bite is reported to be quite painful. You may read more about the Corsair on BugGuide.
