flek-AL-NF-M insect cage
The flek-AL-NF-M series insect cages are specialized enclosures designed for rearing and studying very small insects, including whiteflies, thrips, aphids, and tiny parasitoids. These models feature ultra-fine nylon mesh on all sides, supported by a lightweight yet rigid aluminum frame, and are ideal for precision entomological research.
Naming highlights:
flek stands for flexible and flat-packed, allowing easy shipping and assembly
AL indicates a strong aluminum profile frame for long-term durability
NF refers to nylon fine mesh (typically 150–300 µm), optimized for tiny insects
M means mesh on all six sides, providing full ventilation and containment
The ultra-fine mesh prevents escape of the smallest pests while maintaining proper airflow and humidity control. A front sleeve opening allows safe access for feeding, cleaning, and insect handling. The external frame design avoids interior obstructions, improving visibility and usability during experiments.
These cages are particularly useful for:
Whitefly and thrips rearing
Plant-insect interaction trials
Insecticide resistance testing
Quarantine-safe insect containment
Trusted by agricultural universities, entomology labs, and crop protection research centers, the flek-AL-NF-M seriesprovides a reusable, easy-to-clean, and field-portable solution for delicate insect work.
