Maybe an assassin bug?
It does seem to have a pretty good size stabber tucked underneath its throat and chest.

More likely Coreid
such as Acanthocephala. Future pictures in this series should nail the ID down.

Yes, not an assassin bug
I posted another image showing that the beak length is quite long and pointed to a reference that said plant eater nymphs would have longer beaks.

Thanks
