Pop Up Rearing Cages – Product Overview

Our Pop-Up Rearing Cages are the perfect solution for entomologists, educators, and hobbyists who need a convenient way to breed, rear, and observe insects, including flying species. These hassle-free insect cages are a durable, lightweight, and travel-friendly.

Key Features:

• Compact & Collapsible Design: These pop up rearing cages are fully collapsible and fold flat for easy storage and transportation, making them ideal for both field and lab use. The cage easily pops up for quick setup, and just as easily collapses for compact storage.
• Multiple Size Options: Choose from a variety of sizes to accommodate your specific space requirements, whether you’re rearing a single insect or managing multiple specimens. The 12″ x 12″ cube is ideal for general use, while larger models are available for more spacious environments and allows for complete enclosure of a small to medium sized potted plant.
• Optimized Ventilation: Featuring five breathable mesh sides, these pop up rearing cages promote healthy airflow, ensuring your insects remain in an environment conducive to their well-being. The mesh structure also minimizes condensation and allows for optimal temperature regulation. The breathable mesh also provides a great environment for live plant specimens, in the case you house a host plant within the cage.
• Clear Viewing Window: A transparent vinyl window on one side offers clear, unobstructed views of the insects inside. This makes observation easier, whether for educational purposes, research, or simple enjoyment. While the surrounding mesh provides a good level of visibility, the added viewing window ensures that there is at least one clear side for optimal viewing.
• Easy Access: The pop up mesh enclosure comes with a side zippered opening for effortless access to the interior. The new model for the 12″ x 12″ cube includes an innovative sleeve with a drawstring closure, allowing quick access to specimens without the need to open the zipper. This feature is especially useful for quickly introducing or removing insects or for adding food and water without risk of specimens escaping.
• Durable & Lightweight: Constructed from high-quality materials, the insect cages are sturdy enough to handle daily use while remaining lightweight enough to carry easily. Perfect for long-term or short-term use, they are built to withstand a variety of environmental conditions.
• Versatile & Practical: Ideal for a variety of applications, including insect breeding, rearing larvae, housing pupae, or simply observing live insects. Perfect for entomology studies, educational demonstrations, or personal insect observation and care. Larger cages are suitable for enclosing entire potted plants, either as host plants or for rearing insects from vegetative structures (such as galls, etc.).

Whether you’re working in a classroom, lab, or conducting field research, our Pop-Up Rearing Cages offer the perfect balance of convenience, functionality, and durability for your entomological needs.

Our pop up cages are available in various sizes.  All with a clear vinyl for easy viewing.

Once organisms have emerged in the cages, they can be collected with an aspirator or forceps.
