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
No, crane flies (from the Tipulidae family) do not bite. While crane flies resemble large mosquitoes, the adults have non-piercing mouthparts (unlike mosquitoes) and only feed on nectar or not at all.However, there are insects that very much resemble mosquitoes and crane flies that can bite or sting. The Ichneumon Wasp is one such insect and is said to be capable of inflicting a painful sting if it feels threatened.
the bite generally won't show at all or will only appear as a small spot of blood on your horse, however with blowfly and sandfly bites the bites will appear as a much larger lump which may need to be treated.
I dont know but this stupid websites doesn't give any information just wastes time
No they do not. The don't even bite their food, but secrete digestive fluid to produce a liquid and with a small appendage suck it up into the digestive system.
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.

midges.
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.
