I was taking pictures of a caterpillar when i noticed a white spec of a bug (~2mm) appearing to attack an even smaller green bug (~1mm).
I couldn't see what was going on with my naked eye, but it looks like he's using a needle-like appendage to literally drink his prey's insides.

Cheetah ... Cheetahs can be seen at the new Africa Exhibit and the Cheetah Encounter Show .... This is the female named Sarah ... she is the fasted land mammal in the world
Acinonyx jubatus
The cheetah plays an important role as a predator on the African savannah. The fastest animal on land, the cheetah can reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour over short distances. A sleek body, flexible backbone, long legs, non-retractable claws, and muscular tail assist the cheetah during high speed chases. The dark tear mark below a cheetah’s eye, called a malar stripe, attracts the sunlight and keeps the glare of the sun out of its eyes. Once the cheetah is within striking distance of its prey, it swipes at the prey’s hind legs with its front paw and strong dewclaw to trip and knock it to the ground. Then it closes off the prey’s windpipe to suffocate it. Exhausted after the chase, the cheetah must rest for a while to recover.

History of the MQ-1B "Predator"
The MQ-1 "Predator" is a medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial system (UAS) that was employed primarily to collect intelligence and secondarily to engage enemy targets. Beginning its service with the Army in 1995 and later used by the U.S. Air Force, the MQ-1 was deployed in every major U.S. conflict during this period until its retirement in 2018. The MQ-1's capabilities made it uniquely qualified to conduct irregular warfare operations.
The Predator was part of a remotely piloted aircraft system. A fully operational system consisted of four aircraft, ground control station, Predator Primary Satellite Link, and spare equipment, along with operations and maintenance crews for deployed 24-hour missions. A Predator crew consisted of a pilot to control the aircraft and command the mission, an aircrew member to operate sensors and weapons, and a mission coordinator, when required.
The Predator and Hill Air Force Base
In 2004, the U.S. Air Force used the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) to assess the Predator's ability to strike a moving target with munitions. Crew members guided the drone remotely from Indian Springs, Nevada, and struck two moving tanks with Hellfire missiles. Because of this testing, the Predator was later used in combat to engage enemy targets. The Ogden Air Logistics Complex at Hill also provided software development and sustainment in support of the MQ-1 when in active service. Extensive UAS activities continue today on the UTTR with several different services and platforms.
The MQ-18 on display first flew on 31 January 2005, and was later assigned to Indian Springs Auxiliary Field, Nevada. During its service life, this Predator took part in combat sorties in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. After flying 28,069 hours and over 1,600 combat sorties, it retired from service in 2017 and was delivered to the Hill Aerospace Museum for display in 2020.
