If your blueberries are wilting it is not due to this insect.
Wilt means too much or not enough water or a disease in the root system. Since blueberries like moist soil....I would guess root disease.

I just saw one of these on a blueberry plant. This is a plant that has been looking awfully wilted--maybe this is why!
Coreidae or Reduviidae nymph by: Moni

The photo I believe is of a Coreid nymph . These are the leaffooted bugs. The other possibility is an assassin bug family. With new tiny little nymphs it is hard to know for sure, but the antenna on yours makes me think it is a Coreid...would be great to see photos as it matures so we can positively ID it.
The Coreids are bugs that suck the juices of plants, but a few are reported to be predaceous.
Coreids often give off an unpleasant odor when handled. A few species of Coreidae are agricultural pests.
If it is an Assassin bug they feed on insect pests such as caterpillars, beetles, leafhoppers, aphids and such.
Let us know what you think.
here are a couple of leaffooted bug photos.
