The same fly if allowed will bite numerous times. If I see one of these on one of my horses I do my best to kill it. Then I will spray some extra fly spray on the horse in case the fly brought friends. I have been bitten by horseflies several times and they are painful. Almost like a bee sting, so I do what I can to prevent them.

Do flies bite pinch or sting?

Flies (and fleas) bite. Bees and wasps sting. The flies that bite include deer flies, horse flies, midges, and others. The best way to kill a horsefly when it lands on you is to watch and wait. When it first lands, it watches to see if you are going to swat at it. If you don't, it will put its head down to bite and draw blood. As soon as it moves its head, its focus is on your skin, and you can kill it much more easily.

Do black stink bugs bite?

No. They do not bite, but they are able to sting/stab you with their rather strong proboscis and the sting is actually somewhat painful. Comparable with bee sting. Fortunately their sting is not poisonous or dangerous.
