To me, it looks like an Assassin Bug nymph. Which one, I don't know.

That's an awesome video! I love how one kid knows that it is not a spider by counting the legs. I know grown adults who will count the antennae as legs and call these spiders. Also, some are saying "awesome" and some "disgusting", which was highly entertaining.

I agree with the last post that it is the nymph of an assassin bug. I am uncertain of the species however. Here is a link to a picture of a Wheelbug nymph for comparison:
