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. 4 stars

This was a gift for Grandbaby's third birthday. A very sturdy net and though she hasn't caught any "bubeyes" yet she has managed to net her 2 year old sister about a hundred times. I would say that the three year old rates it a 10 but the two year old is a bit more negative.
If you have a young hunter in the house we would vote yes for this product. 5 stars

I had butterflies eating my garden to the point of having plant skeletons rather than lush greenery. Not wanting to foul the environment , I decided that catching the butterflies would be the appropriate solution. Thus, I ordered and promptly received this butterfly net.

Yes, it's clear from the picture that this net comes without a handle.

And, yes, I understand that the error was mine in expecting a butterfly net to have a handle.

So, I'll accept the responsibility for the handleless net. And for the 30 minutes it took me to find a handle that would more or less fit this net.

However. . .

my net had a rip in it that had obviously been repaired before mailing it out, making my net a second rather than first quality product.

Add to that the fact that the net was mailed in a flimsy cellophane covering, no box, no protection whatsoever for the net.

I am not a happy camper. 2 stars

This net is Great! Not a cheapo...From the toy store. Should last a good long time. Ive been using it to catch insects for my chameleon to eat.You have to supply the handle...Which you can make any length you want. "Big Plus!" After I saw the first one, I bought another. Fantastic price for the quality! Hope this was helpful..Dave 5 stars

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. 4 stars
