I have two different makes of 'butterfly netting', and I've watched the
little b***'s (probably the 'small whites') squeeze their way even through
the smaller diameter mesh ', certainly not through any gaps - they seem to
be able to fold their wings and squash through. Maybe a case for trading
standards/trade descriptions ?? Just a thought ;)

Then you need a smaller mesh size. Probably 9mm or less.

I've searched in vain in every garden centre near me for a smaller mesh and
found nothing smaller than my smallest, which seems to be about 12mm. I do
take issue with the fact that they describe it as butterfly netting though.
