These bugs are very general in their feeding habits. Like all true bugs (Hemiptera) these predators have a beak. To feed, they swing their beaks up from under their bodies, sneak up to their prey and jab them with the harpoon-like tips. They inject digestive enzymes through the beak that soon render the prey immobile, after which they suck up the digested insides. from NC extension entomology

Fantastic find, however, I can think of a lot better ways to go.

Nicely done, the view most never see. Macro can be fun and can be frustrating, success makes it fun.
