'pesky green fly's last go' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'green fly's last go' is the wordplay.
'last' suggests the final letters.
'go' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'went' mean this ('go' can mean move)).
The last letter of 'fly' is 'y'.
'green'+'y'='greeny'
'greeny' anagrammed gives 'ENERGY'.
