How about...
Green Lacewing (Chrysopidae) Larva

You can read more about them HERE.

It would be better if you posted any other request you may have in the ID Request section.

The bites can hurt....
They are beneficial and typically harmless, both as larvae and adults. BUT, when bothered the larvae can deliver nasty bites which are simply painful and not really harmful.
