Doesn't Deer netting have 3/4 inch holes?

The article suggest 3/8-1/2" holes max.

Do you think deer netting will work? Just wondering because I have not found
any screening with holes smaller then 3/4"yet.

Not seen or heard any big bugs, yet here in Western Mass.

My trees are lined up on the ground, and I plan to drop the netting over

harmed by cicadas). I haven't done anything yet, because "my" cicadas are
just sitting. And staring.
Nina:

I am covering the deciduous trees with deer net, which should be enough to
stop the Cicadas should they decide to select my trees for the branch
splitting
and egg laying ceremony.

My last resort will be an application of Sevin (should a swarm of the
Cicadas
threaten any of hard-earned ramifications in my deciduous trees).

Cordially,
