great, now I'm picturing you with fangs!
the outer heavy-gauge screen is to slow down the 6 inch wide moths, and the bats, and the gigundous flying beetles that flock in June.
the inner screen is to block the termite swarms, mosquitos, and the gnats and stuff.
the heavy wooden outer door is in the bodega, and only gets affixed during hurricane season... rest of the year, the whole kitchen is just screened walls, with a wide-overhang roof to catch the rain, and shade the room.
that pic was taken at 3 am after Morda woke us yowling in frustration:
(MRRRRROOOOOOWWWWW!!)
I couldn't go back to sleep, so I did the ol' google-identification thing, trying to figure out what kind of snake it was... and learned that if we had ONE baby boa.... (*shudder*) there were likely DOZENS more in the immediate area, as the mama can birth up to 50 at once (*mega-shudder*)
we repaired the tears with duct tape... but I didn't use it all, as I wanted to have some left over for
Empathy Man.
