mosquito netting

Tropical bed canopy

Mosquito netting is fine mesh fabric designed to keep mosquitoes and other insects out while allowing air to circulate.

It's draped over beds, hung in doorways, or used to cover outdoor areas in regions where mosquito-borne diseases like malaria are a concern: We slept under mosquito netting every night in the jungle.
