I saw this insect on a flower in the backyard. Is this some form of assassin?

Do NOT handle assassin bugs due to possibility of Chagas disease:

Thank you tinusbum. I've never seen one of these young ones before. It was interesting to watch through the lens.

Thanks for the info and the links N72. Does not seem like the nicest little critter to mess around with.
