butterfly nets
Insect catching tools
Butterfly nets are lightweight mesh nets attached to long handles, used for catching butterflies and other flying insects.
The wide, cone-shaped bag allows a quick sweeping motion through the air.
Children use them for play; entomologists use finer-meshed versions for specimen collection.
