At 63-cm tall, BugDorm-4M2260 insect cage is suitable for small potted plants.  It has Nylon netting (44 x 32 mesh) all around, using no plastic sheet in any of the panels except the floor for better ventilation.  A thin strip is sewn across the ceiling from which to suspend objects such as feeders.

There are two openings in the front panel of BugDorm-4M2260 insect rearing cage.  The zippered opening is large enough to insert potted plants.  On the zippered opening is a 18-cm sleeve opening for addition or removal of insects and replacement of food without letting insects escape.

The framework of BugDorm-4M2260 insect cage is of lightweight fiberglass and constructed outside the enclosure.  There are no places for insects to hide inside the cage.
