Welcome Assassin Bug Nymph

During a break in our torrential rains I was able to go out on the deck to check on plant damage and found this assassin bug nymph near my wave petunias that were all crumpled and holey. Was very happy to see it, but know that I shouldn't get any body parts near that lethal proboscis which can give me a nasty sting. It uses it to attack its prey.
