My fave bug netting is army surplus. If you ever spot an army surplus
mosquito tent (hang over a bed) at a yard sale grab it. I got one years ago
and the quality is excellent with fine thread and a uniform weave. It passes
air better than thicker thread weight fabric and allows for better
visibility. It's very flexible and conforms to odd shapes like the rear
hatch while remaining nicely stretched.

This stuff only comes in green as far as I know.

I made a large screen for my rear hatch and 2 for the sliding windows.
I got the rolls of flexible plastic magnet from a hobby shop and made stick
on screens. It has one side sticky so you just stick the screen to the
magnetic strip and you're good to go. Easy storage! Great for curtains too!
