JuneBug Net Hats

William Ellery JuneBug Hat mimics the iridescent carapace of the June Bug and other beetles. This dynamic disruptive camouflage helps insects hide from predators despite its vibrance. In 2020, studies determined this iridescence may also confuse other insects, as was studied in bees.

Lightweight Nylon Hat, made from recycled garments. Breathable mosquito net side panels.

Each hat is made from scrap fabric, and is made of different iridescent colors.

Colors in these jackets are difficult to describe, as they change with every look, but we believe these to be accurate descriptions.
