Definitely Rhinocoris
Contrast between red coriae of the forewings (hemelytrae) and light orange connexivum make this species especially elegant. Often found lurking on flowers, these assassin bugs are among the most dangerous foes of solitary bees and wasps.

I believe so.
This is not Apiomerus, which leaves only Rhinocoris as an option as far as I know.
