The composition of honey varies depending on what kind it is and it can be liquid or crystalline. Honey has been used by humans since the Stone Age.

Sheep bot fly
... The legs are dark, hairy, and strong. The sheep bot fly is active in summer. The females lay their eggs in the nostrils or eyes of sheep. The larvae hatch from their eggs inside the females and are shot into the host animals in drops of liquid. The host animals resist this. The laying of the maggots must be done quickly, otherwise the mother will be attacked by her own brood. The larvae, approximately 500 in number, nest in the nasal cavities and sinuses of the sheep, remaining there...

...hytophagous). Aside from the open air, they are mainly encountered in greenhouses. After hatching from pupae, the females start feeding immediately. They drill small holes in the top surface of plants’ leaves using their ovipositors and suck up liquid with their mouth parts. The damaged areas on the leaf tissue (which also enable bacteria and fungi to penetrate into the plant) are clearly visible as yellowish stains. The males live on nectar or honeydew but they can live without nutrition un...

Root-maggot flies prefer to live on flowering plants, where they feed on the nectar and pollen. However, they also sometimes feed on liquid manure, sweat, blood or the watery discharge from wounds. Some species live on rotting seaweed, others reside in the nests of bees or wasps, where they eat the food reserves of their hosts or the unwanted remains of these.

Lepidopterans usually only ingest liquid food (nectar, water). A few species live off animal excrement, urine, sweat, blood or even tears. Caterpillars often eat their own egg shells after hatching, and then feed on leaves, pine needles, flowers, seeds or fruits. Some caterpillars live as...

...ld digger wasp sees a fly, it sneaks up, jumps on it and may fall with it to the ground. There, it paralyzes the fly and transports it to the nest. It may also happen that the field digger wasp does not paralyze the caught fly, but ‘kneads’ it until liquid comes from its mouth, which is then eaten by the field digger wasp.
