Flies in the family Nycteribiidae are wingless parasites that live in the fur of bats. They look more like spiders than flies.
Also, "freeloader flies" (Milichiidae) are kleptoparasites that steal food from other animals. My favorite thing about them is that they have a friendly relationship with garden spiders. The spiders allow the flies to clean the spider's mouthparts, similar to the way cleaner wrasses clean other fish.
