Is there a trick to clean dead flies and also make them less brittle. I tried pressurised canned air with little success

You could try briefly washing them in alcohol or ethyl-acetate but both will tend to make them more brittle ... only relaxing them in a humid environment like a damp box would make them truly supple again
