they feed mainly or exclusively on other insects and, as a rule, they wait in ambush and catch their prey in flight.

Reminds me of dragonflies. Had one of those bros snatch a horse fly that was harassing me right out of the sky in front of me. So cool.

Oh yeah, I remember from back when I was in band camp, our practice field had an aerial battle of dragon flies snatching all the sweat bees out of the air above us.
