Google still unkown around your parts?

Anyway. Here's a site that will give you loads of answers to your questions.
Answers to Kids' Miscellaneous Questions About Insects

Q: Why do horseflies bite us?
A:They bite you because they want to eat your blood. Horseflies have a kind of feeding that I like to call "slash and sponge!" First they slash a cut in your skin, then they sponge up the blood and eat it. There are lots of insects that eat blood — mosquitoes, blackflies, and even some moths do it.
