At 93-cm tall, BugDorm-4E4590 insect cage is tall enough for small potted plants. The BugDorm-4E4590 has very fine Nylon netting (150 x 150 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 three openings in the front panel of BugDorm-4E4590 insect rearing cage. The zippered opening is large enough to insert potted plants. On the zippered opening are two 18-cm sleeve openings to permit addition or removal of insects and replacement of food without letting insects escape.
The framework of BugDorm-4E4590 insect cage is of lightweight fiberglass and constructed outside the enclosure. There are no places for insects to hide inside the cage.
