Funky predatory true bug (assassin maybe?) with mantis-like front legs?

[QUOTE="femmephyllocrania, post: 70472, member: 2103"] It's a light yellow color with some brown markings in the head area and on the wings. I believe it's predatory rather than a plant feeder from the thickness and length of the "beak" and it seemed to go after some fruitflies I put in the jar with it (though it hasn't successfully caught any so I'm not entirely sure). Can someone tell me what this is? Should I be feeding it fruit flies or something else? I'm not actually sure I want to keep it alive. I might just pin and label it later, but for now I'm interested in seeing what it does and what people have to say. Let me know if more information is needed. I live in Eastern Massachusetts.
