It helps keep out dust and dirt particles. The hairs are quite handy because flies hang out in the dirtiest places!
The hairy growth on a housefly's legs and abdomen helps them detect movements in the air and sense changes in their environment. These hairs are sensitive to vibrations and air currents, which are important for the housefly to navigate, find food, and avoid predators.
The hairy growth on a housefly's legs serves multiple purposes. Primarily, these hairs help the fly detect environmental changes, enhancing its ability to sense vibrations and surfaces. Additionally, they assist in the collection of pheromones and other chemical signals in the environment, aiding in communication and navigation. These adaptations contribute to the fly's survival and ability to find food and mates.
You can use clippers on the body (a #10 blade against the growth of the hair is enough) and for the actual shave you can use a shaving cream for sensitive skins (like Veet), wait 5 minutes and rinse completely.

Metabolism
You would weigh a housefly in milligrams (mg) or micrograms (µg), as they are very light and typical scales for everyday use are not precise enough to measure their weight in grams.
This entirely depends on the housefly. Houseflies can hum in any key, try and use a tuner or ask someone with perfect pitch to listen to the fly and tell you what key the fly is humming in.
