Is this durable enough for extended entomological use? I'd really like a portable net for traveling!

Yes, the weak point is where the net circle attaches to the pole, if you hit it wrong, that part snaps - and takes a lot of duct tape to fix. Otherwise I love mine

25 Inches from the bottom of the handle to net. The net itself is 32 inches or so.

would the net be durable enough to catch baby chiks from a big cage?

Net was given as a gift, so no personal experience with it. As a net, it was pretty "durable" -- it probably could catch a couple of chicks. As a full-time assignment, probably wouldn't last too long.

Can anyone tell me the size of the net holes on these? Are any smaller than others? Small insects come through the holes on my current net.

The mesh hole size is about 2mm. If you want to catch tiny insect, we suggest our following quality butterfly net with less 0.8mm mesh hole: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F9T5MNB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FCJDSWC

Fabric is s so rough not for butterflies and small insects.

The net is not the right fabric for butterflies and small insects, if i want to catch a butterfly the tul is so rough that it can damage it instantly and my specimen will be damaged from the fabric.

Not Catching Butterflies...catching 9mm brass. Nice and wide, lightweight handle, very portable, great fit and the net seems fairly strong. Great Price Point
