Thread-legged Bug - Subfamily Emesinae

At first I thought this was a type of walking stick, but it turns out it's not.
It is actually related to assassin bugs. I should have guessed based on the "raptorial" forelegs.
If this guy hadn't been on the house by the spigot I never would have found him.
I moved him to one of the tulip trees after this photo and he "got lost" on the trunk.
