You need an Ion Disruptor to stun them long enough for you to drag them into your cargo bay.

Zap them with an Ion Disruptor to stun them, then scoop them up before they fly off. :)

Nah, use a net! A big Space Fly net! Go EVA and just start waving it around. You're bound to catch something! :D

oh, an one more question, where would be the best place for finding space flies, or is it just a random occurance throughout the universe

I find them most in Split and Pirate sectors although its probably completely random. I believe they are attacked by either engines or Ions as I always get large swarms while capturing multiple ships. Can be fun picking them up in the middle of a big dogfight :)
