Does anybody know what this guy is?

Thanks Earl for identifying this guy.

According to what Earl found this is an Assassin Bug, that may explain why he was behind me when we found him. I think he was sizing me up for the kill.

We found this gut the other day and at first sight we thought it was a spider. Upon closer inspection we realized it only had 6 legs not 8. I have never seen a bug like this before that day so I decided to bring him home to get some pictures of him. My wife was not happy but she was just as interested as I was. She just didn't want me to bring him home. I didn't have my macro lens so I didn't have a choice if I wanted to get a good close photo so I found cup and a Kleenex tissue and a hair band and brought him home. Long story short I got this photo and was hoping that someone might know what kind of bug it is. If anyone knows I would love to hear from you.
