Not a nymph; nymphs of insects are wingless. This is a female and that's why there is no club on the tail.
Wow! Thanks Juan! And Alice, I posted another orange insect. This one was a favorite of my facebook friends. Is it a nymph? Looks so cute and harmless. HA!
Looks too exotic for PA. Nice spotting!
this is a Scorpion fly (Panorpidae)
