Adult flies often drink nectar. Some feed on any liquid that has energy. They also can spit onto dry food and then suck up the spit and some extra nourishment from the dry food. Some female flies drink vertebrate blood such as from mammals to get the protein they need for their eggs. A few adults are predators. They grab other insects and stab them their mouth parts and suck out their blood and organs. Many flies do most of their feeding as larva. This protects the fly larva and gives it plenty to eat.
