"Por si las moscas" significa lo mismo que "por si acaso". Se usa para indicar una acción que se lleva a cabo para evitar una consecuencia negativa.
"Tráete más cerveza, por si las moscas" (Para evitar que se acabe la cerveza)
"Mejor me llevo el paraguas, por si las moscas" (Por si acaso lloviera)
Como bien supusiste, "por si las moscas" es un modismo. La verdad es que solo he oído la expresión en España, no estoy segura de que se use en el español latino.
