BugDorm-4M3074 Insect Rearing Cage

At 77 cm tall, the BugDorm-4M3074 insect cage is suitable for small potted plants.  It has Nylon netting (44 x 32 mesh) all around, and no plastic sheet is used in any of the panels except the floor for better ventilation.

There are two openings in the front panel of the BugDorm-4M3074 insect-rearing cage.  The zippered opening is large enough to insert potted plants.  On the zippered opening is an 18-cm sleeve opening for adding or removing insects and replacing food without letting insects escape.  A thin strip is sewn across the ceiling from which to suspend objects such as feeders.

The framework of the BugDorm-4M3074 insect cage is made of lightweight fiberglass and constructed outside the enclosure.  There are no places for insects to hide inside the cage.
