These collapsible cages are constructed from strong aluminium and aluminium screening. The new aluminium screening ensures that insects have a much harder time when planning a great escape via chewing the screening.

The base is an aluminium sheet which is hinged. The top is also hinged allowing easy access.

Catches are provided on the top for locking purposes. An additional feature is that the cages are hinged allowing for easy collapsing and storage (see images).

A feeding hammock is supplied together with a stockinette sleeve which allows access to the inside of the cage without having to physically open it.

Although designed for breeding mosquitoes in vector control research programs, they are also suitable for rearing and housing Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and insect orders.
