Clip cages Easy to use Clip Cages, ideal for aphid fieldwork. Supplied ready assembled, our Clip Cages can be used straight away! They are in two halves, joined together with a long hinged silver clip. Squeeze the clip to open, and position the Clip Cage around a leaf. Place the two long gold pins (provided) over the grey foam on the top and bottom to create a tight seal. The grey foam is compressible to minimise damage to the leaf. See the insects clearly through the two clear plastic viewing cylinders. Fine mesh has been glued over each end to facilitate ventilation and discourage condensation. Clip Cages can be re-used and so after completion of the work, just wash in cold soapy water, rinse well and leave to air dry.
