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
