flyscreens
Window insect filters
Flyscreens are mesh panels fitted over windows or doors to keep insects out while allowing air to circulate.
Common in warm climates where windows stay open, they're typically made of fine wire or synthetic netting stretched across a frame: We installed flyscreens on all the bedroom windows.
Also called screen doors or window screens.
