A 60-cm cube, BugDorm-6610 insect cage is suitable for small potted plants. Front and back panels are of clear plastic for observing insect activity. Top and two side panels are of Polyester netting (96 x 26 mesh) for 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-6610 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-6610 insect cage is of durable aluminum and constructed outside the enclosure. There are no places for insects to hide inside the cage.
