Strangler flies are called so because of their unique predatory behavior. These flies, particularly from the genus Drepanosiphum, are known to prey on other insects, often by ambushing them and using their specialized mouthparts to immobilize their prey. The term "strangler" reflects this method of capturing and subduing their victims, giving the impression of a choking or constricting action.
