I know that the adult human has 206 bones. For a project, I need to know how many bones does an adult fly have?

Only vertebrates have bones.
Flies that you mean are invertebrates, and hence they have no endoskeleton. Therefore the question of counting the number of bones does not arise. By flies, if you means insects then they have chitinous exoskeleton.

The fly is an insect and has zero bones because insects have exoskeletons instead of bones.

Flys do not have bones...they have an exo-skeleton...An exoskeleton is an external anatomical feature that supports and protects an animal's body, in contrast to the internal endoskeleton of, for example, a human.

None. Flies have an exoskeleton, or a hard exterior shell. Insects do not have bones.

None. Flies have an exoskeleton made of chitin and no vertebrae.

It's an INSECT. That means it's an INVERTEBRATE. NO BONES.
