I'm not sure if your after the really fine stuff like mosquito screen or house window screen. Mosquito screen you can get at sporting goods stores that sell camping supplies. Window screen at Home Depot or Lowes.

Bridal veil material is pretty fine, too. I also found a fine aluminum screen at a craft supply store; they sell it for sculpting.

Pretty sure panty hose would work great for this. 4-5 years ago when I was more into this sort of stuff, most people would use pantyhose for super fine mesh to cover the tops of their FF cultures..good ventilation and they can't escape.

If your purchasing it from one of the big box stores what you want to get is the solar screen as this is fine enough to keep in the fruit flies. Its more expensive than regular window screen but worth it in this respect.
