they've finally hatched. I hadn't checked on them in a couple days, so am not sure when they emerged.

First Impression
I'd go with Rhiginia cruciata. The substrate (under a log) suggests a robust ground hunter which makes the Ectrichodiinae (to which Rhiginia belongs) or Peiratinae more likely. Looks a tad squat for some peiratines and the head and anterior portion of the pronotum look ectrichodiine to me as well. In any event, it will be interesting to see what these turn into.

neat-looking reduviid nymph
no clue beyond that, but has a saicine air to it
