WHY I WANTED A MESH HABITAT: I have an herb garden and when clipping some parsley for my dinner came across a caterpillar chomping away (Swallowtail). I then had an adult female swallowtail fluttering around my plant and proceeded to lay numerous eggs on the same parsley plant. I made a quick makeshift terrarium to house the caterpillar along with some clippings of the parsley plant and in the meantime I had ordered a small mesh habitat. When that arrived, I placed the entire parsley plant, pot and all, in the smaller habitat. I then noticed another caterpillar so brought all indoors so the grandkids could observe.REVIEW ON THIS MESH HABITAT: To protect my fresh parsley plant from any future caterpillar attacks, I had ordered this taller mesh habitat and bought another parsley plant to place inside the cage to keep the butterflies from further laying eggs on my new plant and destroying my garden herbs. Although this cage is placed outdoors, it is in a protected area on my patio so I am hoping it lasts for awhile. Since they are not that expensive and are a nice quality, I don't feel bad if I need to replace it down the road. The seller packaged it well, delivery was prompt, and price was very reasonable. I ordered the black mesh as I felt the white was too bright and distracting from a natural setting and I was right. It blends in nicely with its surroundings and doesn't detract from my other garden contents. If a potential buyer wants to use one of these to house caterpillars through the insect to butterfly steps, perhaps the white may be the better choice as it may be difficult to find the caterpillars/cocoons on a darker mesh. I definitely recommend the Restcloud brand as they are very well made and work just as intended. A WORD OF WARNING UPON OPENING HOWEVER, KEEP AWAY FROM YOUR FACE AS IT DOES SUDDENLY SPRING OPEN AND CAN GIVE QUITE A WALLOP IF NOT ALERT.
