Collapsible Rearing Cage

This rearing cage is intended primarily for breeding Lepidoptera larvae, although other insect orders are also raised successfully in it. The cage may be used in the lab with a potted host plant, or it may be placed over a growing plant in the field by folding the bottom section upward.

The cage is constructed of a lightweight aluminum frame and 20 X 20 mesh aluminum screening to reduce the possibility of mold and contamination. Top and bottom sections are hinged for simple access, collapsing and storage. Size: 12 x 12 x 24″ (30.5 x 61 cm). Shipped flat.
