lens cap

Camera aperture shield

A lens cap is a protective cover that fits over the front of a camera lens when not in use, preventing scratches, dust, and damage to the glass.

Most snap or clip on and attach to the camera strap so they're not lost: Don't forget to remove the lens cap before shooting.
