Leaf-footed bug (Acanthocephala sp.), nymph

This is an impressively large nymph, quite unusual looking. It didn't want its photo taken and immediately began moving away, so I only got a few not great shots. I post it because I have no other photos of this type of nymph. This is most likely A. terminalis, but as I am not 100% sure, I'll leave it at the Genus level.

I bet it can move fast with those long legs. Interesting patterns and shape. V.
