This black parasitoid-resistant twelve by twelve by twelve inch popup cage has six sides with polyester mesh. It has NO Vinyl Window. This black popup also offers zipper pupation protection where, when raised in numbers, monarchs will no longer pupate on the zipper (which only occurs on occasion). In direct sunlight contents such as caterpillars, host plants, and/or live butterflies are much more transparent than white popups.

• Breeding brushfoot and other butterflies
• Rearing caterpillars on potted host plants
• Obtaining eggs from live female swallowtails, monarchs, and other large brushfoot butterflies
• Placing up-side-down over shorter live plants with live females or caterpillars to protect from predation
