Do flies suck blood?
There are quite a few flies that suck blood: The horse fly and deer fly use their sharp mandibles to bite and suck the blood of their victims. Both look like normal houseflies, albeit without the long proboscis (the tube-mouth that most flies have.) Both flies are usually yellow-brown or black, and often have bright-green eyes. They generally suck the blood of livestock and mammals. Often, the bite from a horse fly can really hurt, so it's best to avoid them. The stable fly also looks like a housefly (much more so than the horse or deer fly), but it's proboscis is longer and more rigid, like a mosquito's. They usually attack in early morn or late afternoon, and usually go for the ankles. As with the horse fly, stable flies often feed off of livestock. Black flies, or "buffalo gnats", are large flies with a kind of hunchbacked appearance. They are often found near rivers. The bite from black flies often causes itching, swelling and other allergic reactions; some have even died from either allergies or blood loss caused by a black fly bite. Sandflies and biting midges, while technically midges and not flies, are often considered to be such by the general population. They are small insects that are often found around beaches at night (thus the name), and often attack the ankles. Sandflies can leave a nasty rash.
Can you get stung by a spider?
Depends on your definition of a sting. Some species of spiders do indeed inject venom, but not through the abdomen. They usually inject venom through the fangs in their head, which would be classified as a bite rather than a sting. So, no spiders sting, but some spiders bite.
Why do flies bite?
Biting flies include March flies, stable flies and Black flies as well as biting midges and sand flies. March flies and stable flies are widespread in warmer parts of the world and are most active in summer months - They will attack humans, livestock and domestic pets to acquire blood. In most species both sexes of fly will bite, however it is only the females that seek a blood mean; the males feed on nectar and plant juices. For more information research particular fly-species

Can you use horse fly spray on humans to keep the bugs away from us?
Yes flies bother horses. Some are more pesky than others while some can cause a very nasty reaction from the horse. Face flies will cause horse to shake it's head while flies that land on the legs can cause stomping to the point a horse injures itself. Flies that bite will cause the worst of reactions. The flies cause a sharp pinching sensation when they bite and this can cause a horse to bolt, rear, flip over, or attempt to roll.Flies can also transmit diseases from one horse to another so fly prevention strategies are a must.
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.
