Premium-grade Sandfly Rearing acrylic insect rearing cage designed for mosquito, sand fly, and other small insect studies. Constructed entirely using imported transparent acrylic sheets, including all six sides and mesh holding clamps, providing excellent visibility, durability, and easy cleaning. The cage features sleeve access for insect handling, integrated sugar-feeding provision, and a rear observation chamber for monitoring blood-feeding activity. Suitable for laboratory insectaries, vector biology studies, behavioral assays, and colony maintenance.
Unlike conventional mesh cages, this model features all six sides constructed using transparent Sandfly Rearing acrylic panels, including the mesh holding clamp system, resulting in a clean, professional, and highly durable structure suitable for research environments.
Structural Features
1. Bottom Panel
The bottom section is fabricated using fully transparent acrylic sheet and fitted with four white acrylic support pipes that function as stable cage stands. This elevated structure improves stability and keeps the cage base isolated from wet surfaces.
2. Left & Right Panels
Both side panels are manufactured using clear imported acrylic sheets that provide uninterrupted visibility for insect monitoring and observation during experiments.
3. Front Access Sleeve
The front panel contains a mesh sleeve access opening designed for:
- introducing insects,
- placing samples,
- aspirator-based insect collection,
- transferring specimens,
- and routine handling procedures.
The sleeve design minimizes insect escape during handling operations.
4. Top Feeding Provision
The top section contains a dedicated mesh-mounted feeding port designed for:
- sugar feeding access,
- easy mesh replacement,
- quick cleaning,
- and maintenance activities.
The removable mesh assembly improves operational convenience in long-term rearing studies.
5. Rear Observation Chamber
The back panel includes a dual-acrylic bolted observation arrangement that enables researchers to monitor:
- blood feeding behavior,
- sample consumption,
- insect movement,
- and behavioral responses without disturbing the insects.
Applications
- Mosquito blood feeding studies
- Sand fly behavioral experiments
- Vector biology research
