Abstract
A clip-on cage, modified for feeding leafhoppers and planthoppers on particular parts of growing plants
A clip-on cage, for feeding insects on particular parts of growing plants, modified for easy and quick handling of leafhoppers, planthoppers and similarly agile insects, is described. The main idea is the insertion of a tube, containing insects, into a central hole in the lower foam-plastic ring of the cage. This tube remains in place as long plastic ring of the cage. This tube remains in place as long as the feeding period required; it is moved away with the insects at the end of the feeding period.
