Just take "Assassin Bug" as common name. The term "type of..." might irritate the search engines.

I think it is a Reduviidae, note the back folded long rostrum (green, reddish and black in color) below the head.

Would be tricky to get closer than True Bugs. I think the very long antennae might be a key criteria. Sorry, I can't help you more.

Do you have any other shot of this one where we can see the whole body? Seems to be flat like a Tessaratomidae shield bug, but for these the antennae are too long. Looks like some of the True Bugs.
