I raise Eastern Black Swallowtail and had already purchased one 24"x24"x36" caterpillar cage. I eventually had 18 caterpillars eating my parsley and fennel and needed a second cage to hold them all. I am very pleased with the quality of this product.

Great Cage
I love the design of this cage. The extra flap on the zipper makes it easier to work around roaming caterpillars. I really enjoy the visibility through the light mesh. So much better than others!
I have been looking for something like this for many years. Perfect volume, better quality construction, good for host plants of many Lepidoptera species.
I also gave a set to a fellow Monarch Host that has raised them for years. I think these will make feeding them a little easier. She was excited to try them for her 1st batch of eggs she started supporting this week.
I am happy with the peg rack, but would also like the one with longer pegs.
Hi Jim, we switched to the shorter pegs because they are easier to clean and so the caterpillars won't try to form chrysalises on them...this was an issue with the longer pegs. happy raising!
ordering was easy and once point! Delivery in great shape and am now just waiting for this years monarchs to find my milkweeds
Very satisfied with everything so far
