This looks like a type of assassin bug. Anyone have a more precise I'd?

Will this guy winter over somewhere? Or will it die when the cold comes.

In your area, it likely will die this autumn; this genus appears to overwinter in the egg stage in northern areas - see http://bugeric.blogspot.com/2014/09/sundew-assassin-bugs-zelus.html
