Pselliopus sp.
Brightly colored with an orange body and striped legs and antennae. Not sure of the species since nymphs of different species can look similar. Assassin bugs prey on other arthropods. I suspect it was hunting insects attracted to the flowers of the plant on which it was found. They are often found on flowers.
Suburban. Found on a Partridge Pea plant.

Oh, didn't see that at first. Good we agree :-)
Already identified as such, Felix, but thank you!
Perhaps a Pselliopus sp?
