Butterfly catcher (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

net

'butterfly catcher' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for net that I've seen before include "It's see-through" , "Open-meshed material (used for catching things?)" , "Mesh; entrap" , "Final profit when all overheads have been deducted" , "Catch -- after all deductions" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the LA Times, the Universal, The Star Tribune, the Newsday and The New York Times.
