115-cm tall, the tent-like BugDorm-2400 insect tent provides a large space for potted plants. Front and back panels of BugDorm-2400 are of clear plastic for observation of insect activity; the two side panels are of Polyester netting (96 x 26 mesh) for ventilation. There are three openings in the front panel of BugDorm-2400 insect tent. The zippered opening is large enough to insert potted plants. The two smaller sleeve openings (18 cm diameter) on the zippered opening permit addition or removal of insects and replacement of food without letting insects escape.
BugDorm-2400 insect tent is constructed so that base and fiberglass poles are outside the enclosure. There are no places for insects to hide inside BugDorm-2400.

Caution
When trying to take the assembled cage apart, you may find a few poles locked in the splint. Do not force them apart. Try to find a looser connection elsewhere. If you do force the poles, they may crack longitudinally. Since these cracks will not affect function, they are not covered under our warranty.
