non drill insect screen for Fakro windows?

I just don’t know what to Google anymore, I am a tenant who wants an insect screen on my bottom outward/top inwards opening fakro window, so I can leave the window open a bit and get fresh air; the rubbish screens you stick to the window frame won’t be suitable as there’s only a few mm of frame iyswim? see pic. also the fact that the top of the window opens inwards we tried them on back door when we owned a house and they were rubbish I’ve tired to look for an adjustable bug screen like a baa baa blind (which won’t be pretty but it doesn’t need to be) with suction cups but nothing.
I have some pop up mesh shelves for a heated airer which nearly work by staying in the window recess by friction but they’re just a bit too small, I can’t see any bigger on Amazon.
I’m sure someone will tell me I’m just googling the wrong thing and they’ve found it in 2 seconds flat so please tell me now 🙏🏽 thanks

I've got the same window. I think the only solution would be to buy some mesh, cut it to the right size and attach with stick and sew velcro. Sticky side against the ceiling and sewing side on the mesh. That way you could carefully unpeel the bottom edge to reach the handle to open and close.
