It looks ok to me.

Is there a feeding hole, so you can feed nymphs without any escaping?

Will that screening hold fruit flies? If it does, where did you get it?

It's ok.

I have made feeding holes into containers after oothecae have hatched. I have also had an ootheca hatch that was just laying in a shallow dish on the table in my bug room. Lol!

At least you will be prepared now.

I must get some of that screen!

Make sure when you do a search for it you do get No See Um mesh as the knockoffs are nowhere near as good. You can usually buy it in small amounts all the way up to a 100' roll or more but its not cheap.

I think it looks great Sue!

I just shoved the whole deli cup in a net cube.

I have to say I love these net cubes.

I can get in and out of there pretty well with no escapees!!!

thats why I like the front open enclosures way less escapees and I dont have to stun the flies to get them in there
