Based on the contents of the amber specimen including three hematophagous insects, it is likely to have been formed in a tree cavity.

Additionally, the feeding secretion of hematophagous specialists ( e . g . vampire bats ) may be regarded as a specialized subtype of venom.

Some individuals can start the hematophagous feeding in the river before migrating to the sea, where sea lampreys prey on a wide variety of fish.

This behaviour may be slightly based on the theory that a similar anurognathid pterosaur, " Jeholopterus ", was a hematophagous creature, like the modern vampire bat.

Fossil organisms which are related to present-day parasites often possess the hematophagous insects are generally assumed to be ectoparasites, even when their remains are found in the absence of a host.
