butterfly net
Lepidopterist's mesh tool
A butterfly net is a lightweight mesh bag attached to a long handle, used for catching butterflies and other flying insects.
The fine netting allows air to pass through while trapping the insect inside.
Beyond entomology, butterfly nets appear as props in cartoons and children's play, evoking leisurely summer pursuits.
