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.
What's That Bug? does not endorse extermination
This is actually Rasahus biguttatus.
Do i have to worry if I got bit by one last night or what precautions should I take
