Juvenile Giant Water Bug (Lethocerus americanus) underwater feeding on a minnow. This series shows the full behavioral sequence: lying in wait, prey capture, immobilization, feeding, and discarding the empty husk. There is some great footage of the stylet probing just under the skin as it injects digestive enzymes and sucks out the liquefied contents, gradually draining the minnow down to an empty husk.
