Yup, I really needed a butterfly net, and the Gulf Frit was definitely harder to corral than the white one. I was using my big, clumsy pool cleaning net, and trying not to touch the butterflies, just "direct" them but finally gave that up and just baited them with Pentas instead.
I have a whole lot of bridal veil netting so I think I could make myself a net for emergency use - could you post a picture of yours when you get a chance?
