As it's current, hip, trendy, on everyone's lips and in the air...
THE MOSQUITO NET - Arthur Mills (The Bystander - October 1936)
Flynn is convinced that young Grimsby is having it off with his wife. Flynn has a plan to kill Grimsby, to drape his bed with a mosquito net covered with infernal mosquito eggs. Not only has Flynn got the wrong end of the stick, a local witch doctor wants Flynn on the business end of a spear. Who'll kill who first?

I like the idea that editors of anthologies still spend hours in places like a British Library reading room, poring over old books looking for long forgotten tales.
