Saw big eyed bug eat spider mite.

So last night I picked off a couple leaves to inspect. I was using the loupe and didn't spot anything, so I grabbed the microscope just for the hell of it. Then I saw a mite sitting on the stem and was like oh shit. The next second he was being devoured by this little guy. It was over in a second and so I was too late with the record button to get a video of it in action. I made a video, but it just shows him cleaning himself up after supper. I might start recording everything from now on, cause I really wish I would of captured it.
Here's a couple pics.

I think it's a Geocoris (big eyed bug)
