Yes, flies do get thirsty.
Flies, like all living organisms, require water to survive. Without access to water, they can only survive for a short period, especially in low humidity environments. This highlights the importance of water availability for their survival. They constantly need to monitor and seek out water sources. Therefore, flies experience the sensation of thirst, driving them to find and consume water to maintain proper hydration and physiological functions. Their small size means they dehydrate quickly. Think of it like this: a small container of water will evaporate faster than a large container in the same conditions.
