Herons tend to hunt for food. They eat mainly fish, frogs, tadpoles, and other aquatic life. However, I have also seen them take field mice and ducklings.
Whenever they catch something - they hunt by sight so can hunt whenever there is sufficient light, which can be at night if there is a clear sky and a bright moon, or even artificial lighting.
Blue herons and the Lesser Blue Herons are prevalent where I live. They like shallow fresh water ponds or lakes where there are a lot of fish for them to eat. Since herons hunt by sight, murky water is not very helpful for them, as they cannot see the fish.

Herons are birds.
Yes, herons can eat great diving beetles, as they are opportunistic feeders that consume a variety of aquatic prey. Great diving beetles are commonly found in freshwater habitats, where herons hunt for food. While they primarily feed on fish, amphibians, and invertebrates, herons will take advantage of available prey, including insects like diving beetles.
Crocodiles and alligators eat herons.
Herons eat fish.
