BugDorm-4S4545D Specimen Handling Cage

Each BugDorm-4S4545D insect cage is made of the same materials and dimensions as the BugDorm-4S4545 insect cage.  It has two sleeves on the front panel for easy insect handling.  Each sleeve has an elastic band that wraps around the wrist to prevent insects from escaping.

There is a large zip opening on the back panel for inserting large objects.  The top and front panels are made of clear plastic for observation.
