I know this may sound like a stupid question but my friends and I spent some time talking about this tonight in the pub... yes we was a bit boozed up during our Christmas drink... but if they don't have eyelids, how do they keep the dust out of their eyes? Oh, Merry Christmas everyone.

Just to set the record straight, I'm talking about the insect.

The eyes of a fly do not have eyelids, so flies rub their eyes with their feet to keep them clean. They do not have eye lids and the sun can damage the eyes.

no they do not have eyelids. they are insects. they do not need eyelids. frogs have eyelids and they eat flys. there is no connection.
