All our habitats are now made with an elasticized zipper covering to keep caterpillars and butterflies safer! We have also added handles to all our cages–photos will be uploaded soon!
Great for raising caterpillars and emerging butterflies, the small black pop-up is made of paratasoid-resistant netting and has one clear plastic panel for easy viewing. A variety of small-sized butterflies like Painted Lady butterflies will easily pair and lay eggs in the small pop-up. All our pop-up habitats can be washed/sanitized by hand and fold flat for convenient storage.
