BugDorm-4S4590DH Specimen Handling Cage

Of the same materials and dimensions as the BugDorm-4S4590 insect cage, BugDorm-4S4590DH sits horizontally and has an elastic band on each sleeve opening for wrapping around the wrist to prevent insects from escaping.

The top and front panels are made of clear plastic for easy observation.  A large zip opening on the front panel aids in adding or removing large objects.
