There are two distinct names given to these animals. Haemivores are the vampires of the natural kingdom preferring to suck or devour blood (haem) due to its rich vitamin and mineral content. For example the female mosquito is a haemivore to help absorb nutrients for egg production whilst the male is a nectar drinker known as a nectarivore. Nectarivores obtain high levels of natural glucose, sucrose and some cases fructose (not that disimilar from frugivores which eat fruit).
