The 4F-M-W-505050 Fine Mesh White Insect Cage is a cubic nylon-based insect rearing enclosure designed for reliable containment of small and fine insects such as aphids, thrips, parasitoids, and early-instar stages. With dimensions of approximately 50 × 50 × 50 cm, it provides a balanced working volume that comfortably accommodates potted host plants, diet containers, and other experimental accessories while remaining compact enough for insectary shelves, growth racks, and lab benches.

​

All panels are made from fine white nylon mesh, typically in the 150–200 μm aperture range, ensuring that minute insects are effectively contained while air exchange remains high for stable temperature and humidity. The white mesh helps diffuse light and minimize heat buildup, making the cage suitable for use under strong artificial lighting or near greenhouse glazing where temperature and light uniformity are important. A lightweight aluminum (or alloy) pole scaffold forms the structural backbone, delivering a rigid yet easy-to-handle frame that can be assembled, moved, and cleaned with minimal effort between trials.

​

The fine mesh construction offers excellent visibility from all sides, allowing researchers to monitor insect behavior, survival, and plant–insect interactions without disturbing the colony. Secure access is typically provided via a sleeve opening or similar entry system on the front panel, enabling feeding, sampling, and transfers while minimizing escape risk for small or fast-moving species. This configuration makes the 4F-M-W-505050 an ideal choice for entomology laboratories, agricultural research stations, and teaching insectaries conducting bioassays, host-choice tests, resistance screenings, and longer-term colony maintenance where precise containment and high visibility are essential.
