insect screen
Window bug filter
An insect screen is a mesh barrier fitted over windows, doors, or other openings to keep insects out while allowing air to circulate.
In American usage, often shortened to just screen: We need to replace the screen on the back door.
The mesh is typically fine enough to block mosquitoes and flies but coarse enough to see through.
