flyscreen
Window insect filter
A flyscreen is a mesh covering for windows or doors that allows air to pass while keeping insects out.
Common in warm climates where windows stay open, flyscreens are typically made of fine wire or synthetic netting stretched over a frame: We need to repair the flyscreen before summer.
Also called a screen or window screen, especially in American English.
