| Bot flies | | ... lineatum and Pharyngomyia picta.
Bot flies reach body lengths of 10-13 mm. They are covered in thick furry hair. The mouth parts of this fly are often highly degenerated, thus many species do not eat solid food. Some species, however, take in fluid. The well developed, large wings have a central vein spreading out in different angle. The thorax is covered with scales and has a number of bristles at the rear end. Mating takes place at elevated places like trees, hills and ridges.

The bee wolf’s sting causes speedy paralysis of the honey bee. The bee wolf then presses out nectar and body fluid from the prey with its powerful front legs and eats this immediately. The bee itself is not consumed and is subsequently dropped. Transport of the prey into the bee wolf’s nest is only to supply food for the larvae. The females occasionally also fee... | | |
| | | The andromeda lace bug is only seen in daytime and feeds on plants (phytophagous). As it is not inclined to move much , it is mainly found on the undersides of the leaves of the host plants. It sucks fluid from the leaves’ cells , which causes the leaves to yellow and eventually fall off. Thus the whole plant loses its leaves from top to bottom . Often the host plants die. Some examples of the plants which the andromeda lace bug prefers to eat are... | | |

If an insect flies into the web , the spider injects it with poison and the poison turns the insides of the prey into fluid. The insect is then tied up like a parcel and stored not far off from the web. The spider then starts repairing the web. If the spider gets hungry it will eat the stored prey later on. | | |
| | ...lopment from larvae to adult takes about two months. After hatching, the larvae infect earthworms from the family Lumbricidae (especially those of the genus Allolobophora) by penetrating their skin. They feed on the worms’ interior tissue and body fluid. The larvae are capable of infecting several worms before they pupate. | | |

Their mouth parts are atrophied because they mostly do not eat and live of fluid. The surface of the thorax is yellowish, reddish and whitish in colour and has a wide, somewhat darkened median stripe, in which a bright line runs lengthwise. The scutellum (small triangular plate on the thorax) is bright turquoise. Each segme... | | |

The adults often sit on trees, shrubs and herbaceous flowering plants, where they feed on nectar, sweet plant juices, ripe fruit juice or honeydew from aphids. However they also like the protein-rich fluid from dung or carrion. Some of the adult flies overwinter. | | |
