Catching specimens generally requires a good trap or a good net.
All of our nets can be considered as longer-term “keepers”. When parts wear out, they can be replaced. Definitely not inexpensive, but good value for the money.
Most nets are in three parts:
1. handles
2. rings or frames
3. net bags
The diameters of the net bags match the diameters of the net rings. Which is probably a really obvious statement.
Net bags come in 3 colours: black, white and khaki.
Generally, if you look into the bag for your specimens, choose a white bag. Easy to see. Downside: white shows "ick" faster. Think squashed bugs, bug poop etc.
If you look through the bag to identify your catch, a black bag is usually preferred. Hides "ick" very well.
Khaki blends with the plant life better. If you are a slow-moving catcher, this just might be the bag for you. Moderate "ick" hiding ability.
Nets also come in two lengths: short and long. The actual length is dependent on the width.
diameter 35cm (ca. 14")
short bag length 67cm (ca. 26")
long bag length 77cm (ca. 30")
