Hopefully if I can describe it well enough someone can help me ID it.
It was translucent green, three quarters of an inch long, and maggot-like, (Blunt tail end, but no "beak".)
I came across it just as it begun feeding and it was swallowing aphids whole, which were still visible as it was backlit by the sun. Swallowed seven adult aphids in total.
That should be a good diagnostic, as far as I know most aphid predators I'm aware of merely suck the fluids from them or masticate them.
