Apologies for the omission of some info. Length is around 8-12mm, and it was a millipede they were eating, not a centipede. The millipede assassin bugs look pretty close, but they're a little too red, and the bugs in question don't have the third black spot on their back. I think you nailed the caterpillar - thanks again. I'll get the search going to find the adults. Thanks, bug masters! Apologies for the omission of some info. Length is around 8-12mm, and it was a millipede they were eating, not a centipede.
