Review on 38 Inch Telescoping Handle Insect & Butterfly Net - 12" Ring, 24" Depth | RESTCLOUD by Joseph Neal

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for Catching Bugs

We try to be kind to nature and if there's a crane fly or moth in the house we prefer to catch it to bring it outside. We had a previous net with a shorter wand. This one is great. It has a nice long wand so you can get into high corners. Also, it swoops through the air quite easily to grab the bug before it vanishes into a curtain or behind a shelf.A downside is the mass of the net is light, so once you get a bug inside it, it's more challenging to get the bug out of the net when you go outside. With the other net we could just "swipe" the net in the opposite direction, it would turn inside-out, and the bug would be free. With this one, when you swipe in the opposite direction, the net itself can just hang and not invert itself. So it's a bit more challenging.There is also a 3-inch slit near the wand where the net does not connect in. We thought at first that might be a problem, but in actual use it hasn't posed an issue for us.A great useful net for our purpose.

Pros
  • The 12-inch ring is the perfect size for capturing butterflies and insects of all sizes
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in areas with high noise levels or other distractions
