This is a true bug (Hemiptera/Heteroptera) in the act of molting. It might be an assassin bug, but the image is not clear enough for a definitive identification. No bugs are dangerous from a venomous standpoint, but some predaceous ones are capable of inflicting a painful bite if handled carelessly.

I just came across an image of an assassin bug molting that looks very much like your photo - see http://tinyurl.com/n2bwax
