In Southeastern Pennsylvania tonight (about 6:30PM, Bucks County), I saw this guy moving fast on a doorframe (struggled to get a clear shot due to his speed and the situation/location). Did a little searching around, and it looked similar to photos I saw of an assassin bug (a milkweed assassin bug?) -- is that what it is?

Thanks!
CLOSED: Insect ID (Assassin bug?)
It's a nymph of a leaf-footed bug in the family Coreidae.
Ah, thank you Flapdoodle!
