Bug ID

Took my boy out to the lease and he wanted to climb in one of the stands. Well once he climbs down he says something was on his hand and stung him. He didn't scream or cry and other than a little stinging and itching is fine but I don't know what the heck this little booger is. I'm guessing some kind of asp but not sure.

Asp

Have you seen one of these? He said it was something furry so I was looking for one of the black ones. Luckily he knew what he was looking for and had better eyes than me.
