Interesting beauty! I have a similar posting of another insect that chose a daisy to spend his sunny day that I was a bout to post..Funny coincidence! :-)
Excellent find Tom... face like a frog and raptorial forelegs.
Looks like an ambush bug (Phymata sp.) nymph. http://bugguide.net/node/view/4833/bgpage?from=5
