CLIP CAGES
for aphid field work (pack size 25)

Very popular, our Clip Cages have a long hinge making it easy to attach to a leaf. View the aphids through the clear cylinders. These have net tops so they won't steam up inside. Damage to the leaf is minimised by the light weight compressible grey foam rings. Security is maintained with the 3-point fixing system (the hinge and two long hairpin gold pins).


The clear cylinders are 2cm diameter and 1cm high. The compressible grey foam rings have external diameter 4.5cm
