Fine mesh screening used in windows and doors to keep flying insects out while allowing air circulation.
Compound of 'fly' and 'wire,' referring to the thin wire mesh designed to exclude insects. Became standard in home construction in the 20th century.
Flywire screens have a specific mesh size—they're designed so air molecules can pass through easily but insects' legs can't fit through the holes, creating an invisible barrier!
