True Bug Perhaps ? - Puliciphora - female

True Bug Perhaps ? - Puliciphora - Female
47.63024N 52.68702W (WGS84), Logy Bay, Northeast Avalon, Newfoundland/Labrador, Canada
April 20, 2009
Size: 2 mm body length
I found this 'bug' amoung the roots and dirt of some moss that I pulled out of the ground. I shook the moss over a plastic container and this individual fell out along with a tiny spider and a centipede. I'm only guessing about this being a True Bug. It's my best guess but probably wrong.
