** Nazarene Jews would also strain flies out of their water to avoid killing them (although this troper isn't sure whether this practice is still performed).
Because the reason any shomer kashrut Jew, nazirite or not, would do this is to avoid the danger of consuming a non-kosher animal, not to spare the life of the fly. (Also, who wouldn't strain flies out of their drinking water?) Also, it's nazirite, not Nazarene. A nazirite is one who has taken an oath of nazirut (meaning he swears not to cut his hair or consume any grape product); a Nazarene is a resident of the town of Nazereth.
Cut this example:
