From the photo, I thought this would be a smaller butterflynet but it is big enough to catch other lightweight creatures. It is well constructed and will be put to good use! It was delivered promptly.

I wanted a butterfly net like the local park ranger uses when we go to help with the annual Monarch butterfly tagging project. This one seemed to be the closest I could find. It has an enormous diameter so I think even small kids will manage to scoop up something. The netting is a little shorter than others I have used but it looks like it will do the job. A drawback is that one has to supply a wooden dowel to make a long handle. Otherwise, it appears to be much more suitable and sturdy than the "toy" nets that are so common.
