BugDorm-4S3030D Specimen Handling Cage

Each BugDorm-4S3030D insect cage is made of the same materials and dimensions as the BugDorm-4S3030 insect cage.  It has sleeves on opposite panels for handling insects inside the cage.  Each sleeve has an elastic band for wrapping around the wrist to prevent insects from escaping.

The top and front panels are made of clear plastic for observation.
