Dear Sergio,
This Thread-Legged Bug is a predatory Assassin Bug in the subfamily Emesinae, and though they might bite a human if carelessly handled, they are not considered dangerous. Since they are predators, they are considered beneficial. We hope you refrain from future Unnecessary Carnage now that you know this is not a harmful insect. See BugGuide for additional information on Thread-Legged Bugs.
