RESTCLOUD Insect and Butterfly Habitat Cage Terrarium Pop-up 23.6 Inches Tall

Will buy agin, quality and easy clean.
Great for my caterpillars safe and built well. Easy to clean, good zipper quality and size is large enough for planters to fit inside. Plan on purchasing one more for next year.

Needed this last minute for travel!
My son wanted to raise a batch of painted lady butterflies. I didn’t plan it well and we are headed for the beach tomorrow! Luckily, they will be on day 3 of their chrysalis stage. I moved them into this net which is perfect size for travel! It’s sturdy, high quality and compact. Zipper is legit. Looks like we are having us some Beach Butterflies! It is NOT ideal to travel with chrysalises but the alternative isn’t an option. My son is so excited to watch them hatch! It’s going to be very fun for him and his cousin! I laid the lid down flat to prevent major jostling. I’ll report back on how they did!UPDATE: We traveled 4 hours to the beach. Stayed a week and drove back home 4 hours with these chrysalises in this net. The morning after we got home- they emerged! Now, we have 2 healthy beautiful painted lady butterflies!! Of course I do not recommend traveling with pupas but I was afraid they would hatch while we were gone and not get the attention and care they needed. All in all- it was a big success!! Highly recommend this net cage!

Good quality enclosures for hand-rearing butterflies and moths
I bought this pop up enclosure after finding Eastern Black Swallowtail eggs on some dill back in June. After raising our first round of swallowtails, we ended up with our second round, then our third. We now have nearly 90 eggs that we’re waiting on. This enclosure works well enough that we bought a second one for housing chrysalises to keep them separate from growing caterpillars and I expect that we will likely buy a third soon. We found that folding and unfolding the pop up is very similar to our circular reflectors used in photography, so they are easy to transport, quick to set up and compact when not in use. I’ve included a few photos with this review showing this pop up enclosure in use, for reference.I found that this enclosure is sturdy enough for our purposes, but can lean a bit as you’re opening and closing the zippers and the first one that we purchased is just a little warped. IMHO, it’s helpful to make sure that you have it on a level surface, as this minimizes rocking while opening and closing the door. As for clean up, stains can be removed fairly easy with a mild 95:5 water to bleach solution and this also helps prevent illness and diseases from spreading. I don’t know what impact a mild bleaching would have on the black version of the enclosure, but it works fine on the white versions. We have the white model with the green trim and also white with blue trim.For anyone looking to raise butterflies and/or moths, this is easier to use than pop up hampers and has a tighter mesh to help keep other insects out and small caterpillars in. You can see the tight weave of the mesh in the last of the photos I have attached to this review. Definitely recommended.

Excellent product
I Purchased this product to have at a nursing home where my Mother resides. I thought this would be something nice for the residence to experience. I never realized how this would impact the people there in such a positive way! Everyone checks it daily to see if we have a new caterpillar sighting or a new cocoon or a butterfly has emerged. The releasing of the butterflies is always an exciting event that they all love to watch.This is such a great project for all ages.Once you purchase the cage, there basically is no cost involved. Milk weed grows everywhere and it is very easy to clip off a branch or two every now and then to feed your hungry caterpillars. If you see a white dot on the back of the leaf, then you will most likely have a caterpillar emerge within the next 3 to 4 days which will start your whole process over again. It comes with a very cute booklet that explains what happens and how long each individual stage takes, along with exactly what to do, starting from finding leaves with tiny eggs, all the way through the butterfly emerging. I leave it out by the cage for all the residents to look at. This has been such a great little project.This cage is high-quality and I would recommend it. One of the sides is plastic for easier viewing, which is absolutely a genius idea. It makes it very easy for the residence to come up and look inside.This is extremely easy and an A+ in my book!
