The stylet contains a channel for the outward movement of saliva and another for the inward movement of liquid food- the prey. The predacious bug would pierce its mouthpart into the prey and release saliva through the stylet. While the enzyme injected is digesting the prey, which is turned into liquid, the bug would suck the liquified food with its “straw”.
