This is the perfect net for what we needed it for! In our flock of 5 chickens, we have two new bantams (miniature) hens, one of which does not like to come in for the night. After double-teaming her, chasing her all around the chicken pen, with her getting more and more scared and freaked out, it finally dawned on me that a net could help the situation. I first tried our pool net, which worked well, but the shape wasn’t ideal. After reading a ton of reviews of nets, I chose this one, and it’s…

The netting is very poor quality and right away started to unravel, with lots of loose threads that make it quite impractical

As background, I've done professional butterfly surveys as a wildlife biologist. The nets we used were super durable for 8 hrs a day heavy use. These nets are not that durable, but much more convenient to use for casual use. I would recommend these for any use except hard-core entomological survey work. I bought a second one.

I finally got a chance to use my new butterfly net this weekend. It worked very well, and one thing I liked really well was how well it folds up. The pole telescopes, and closes down to about 16". The net comes off the pole, and folds to approximately 12" X 7". This allows the complete system to fit in a small pack along with specimen jars (for easier identification, I release after I catch), and my field guide.Some customers complained about loose strings., which I did notice at the beginning…

The insect net is well constructed and very easy the assemble. My ten years old did it without difficulty. The handle is the longest that I could find on Ebay. Both handle and ring are made of light-weight and durable materials perfect for long time outdoor insect collecting activities. The nylon net itself is light, soft, with a wide opening of 16" ring size, especially suitable for catching fragile flying insects, such as butterflies, moths, and dragonflies, while minimizing the risk of…

Super saver for my seasonal bee issues!This net was strong, sturdy and very well made, for a great price. It was such a savior while dealing with my seasonal bug /bee relief and relocation process. Have purchased other nets but nothing as well made and sturdy as this one.Very happy with my purchase!

I use it to catch Cicada Killers in my yard. I'm always barefoot, and the first one I ever saw was in my garden. It had a dead cicada, and was going to go in a hole it dug out. It was huge! I grabbed an empty plastic jar, and put it over them. Then looked it up in my insect book.I've caught over 150 with a jar, and have never been stung. I bought the net to catch them while they were flying around the yard. It works very well.

For the manufacturer only! I use the item to catch my birds ! Otherwize! everything is great! The material of the net and the handle is perfect except for the size of the netting itself A size comperison needs to be checked !before sale, I was able to enlarge the net size to fit the hoop size.jp

I like the simplicity and portability of this net. Once you learn the technique, it is easy to catch and release butterflies.

I was so surprise and did not know that this is so big. I thought it's the right one for my birdcage but I do not regret because I may use it someday. I like the material, the way how it's made and perfect for catching anything. The precision of how it's made it's very sturdy, strong to handle and it extended as well. I recommend this product to anyone would like or looking for a product like this. It's perfectly fine. 5star.

It is somewhat flimsy and the net will probably tear soon but it is big enough and working for catching chickens for time being.

This butterfly net is a sturdy product boasting a higher quality than expected at this price point. The netting is a bit fragile but perfect for catching insects as delicate as butterflies and moths. Professional entomology nets can run you a couple hundred bucks. This does the same thing at a much lower price.

Lightweight and not real sturdy but good value for the price and it is made for lightweight butterflies.Use this to catch Cain toads in the yard.**Edited review and added a star - it is meant to be lightweight for butterflies. Did not mean to make it sound cheap.

Really like this net, think it will work perfect for catching bats & mice that get into the living space of the house occasionally. Like the nylon material around the top of the net, wish the quality of the netting itself were more heavy duty. Like the telescoping handle.

This item is great for catching birds as they fly around your house especially parakeets because all of my parakeets are free range and sometimes they don’t want to go to bed at night. And my cleaning lady is terrified of birds so this works perfectly to make sure they go to bed at night.

The item was useable. I use it to remove insects that may have come into the house like flies, moths, beetles, or other relatively manageable insects. Sometimes certain fruit flies come in but they slip through the net. It'd be nice if the mesh of the net wa smaller because they then wouldn't be able to crawl out.

This is a great net for safe use to capture butterflies, etc. I actually bought it for use to rescue critters on our farm when needed. The net is a good size and it is the perfect length for cost with investing more for those with extenders.

Lately, I've had a few bats take up residence in my house. My previous bat eradication tool (tennis racket) was lethal and not always adequate for the job. With the RESTCLOUD Butterfly net, I can live capture the bats when they are airborne or when they are perched on the wall or ceiling. I can then transport them away from the house and release them back into the environment.

Our bug-loving teenage son was ecstatic about this net and has brought many more creatures into to our home to study since we have had it. The telescoping handle means we could tuck it away into the bottom of the stroller when walking or he could fit it into his backpack when biking. Lightweight!
