Assassin nymph - Rasahus hamatus
Sand Springs, Osage County, Oklahoma, USA
January 11, 2009
Size: 10mm (3/8")

Found under a rock.
Hopefully these shots are better and maybe the ID can be gotten further.

I didn't have a container so I caught it in my hand and carried back to the house (a little over a quarter mile). I'm glad it didn't decide to stab me with that proboscis!

Please help with ID.
