Professional Butterfly Habitat Insect Cage

This professional portable pop-up house is designed for rearing and breeding butterflies, praying mantis, and other bugs. The professional version of the butterfly enclosure is more square, sits straight, and does not rock or move. When unfolded, the pavilion measures 15.7 x 15.7 x 23.6 inches.

The butterfly growing kits package includes a Butterfly Habitat Terrarium and a quick-start guide manual. The instructions for using the enclosure are as follows:

1. Be cautious when opening the large, tall monarch butterfly tents. After removing the elastic strap from around the circle, the cube cage can pop open unexpectedly, so ensure you have plenty of space and no breakable objects nearby.

2. After opening the net cage, the PVC side will be creased from folding. To remove the creases, blow-dry the PVC with a hair dryer for about 5 minutes or place the PVC in the warm sun to relax the wrinkles.

3. Always close the cage door so the zippers meet at the top center. If a caterpillar is somewhere on the zipper, this will allow you to zip down the other side to open.

4. Clean the mesh cage after a disease outbreak or at the end of the season by soaking it in a 5% bleach solution (19 parts water to 1 part bleach) for about 20 minutes. The cage can be soaked in a tub or laundry tub.

5. Rinse your butterfly garden with water and then let it sun dry by hanging it on a clothesline or placing a rock on the floor to prevent it from blowing away.

6. When folding the cage for storage, place your hands on the opposite upper corners of the cage and press one corner in to fold the cage flat.

7. Store the cage flat in a closet, under a bed, behind a couch, or any other convenient location.

The professional version of the Monarch butterfly habitat is more square, sits straight, and does not rock or move. It has a polyester bottom for easier cleaning and five mesh panels for good airflow. The clear vinyl window panel provides an unforgettable opportunity for students and families to watch caterpillars change into chrysalides and then emerge as beautiful Monarch, Painted Lady, or Black Swallowtail Butterflies.

The collapsible design allows for easy storage and reuse, with the unfolded dimensions measuring 15.7 x 15.7 x 23.6 inches. The large, tall, and wide enclosure can accommodate large 2 milkweed plants, and the wings of a new butterfly are not at risk of breaking when trying to stir up.

The large zipper side opening makes it easy to feed the butterflies, then release them into the wild. Butterflies will often land on little hands and faces before flying away. The package includes a quick-start guide manual to help raise butterflies.
