No, flies do not have an iris like humans do. Instead of a single lens and an iris, flies have compound eyes made up of thousands of tiny lenses called ommatidia. This structure allows them to have a wide field of vision and perceive motion effectively, but it lacks the features found in vertebrate eyes, such as an iris to control light entry.
