I found this weird insect and managed to get him a free photo shoot. Does anybody have any idea what this is?

Here's another picture, sorry for the low quality it was tough taking pictures of him running around.

I hope that you can manage a clearer photo; this could be a nymph of either an assassin bug (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Reduviidae - see http://tinyurl.com/lpbsu2) or a leaf-footed bug (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Coreidae - see http://tinyurl.com/kofwj7).

It looks like it was the Leaffooted Coreidae Nymph. Thanks for the quick reply!
