Here are some recommendations for using insect breeding containers:

• Choose the right container size. The size of the container will depend on the type of insect you are breeding. For example, a small container may be sufficient for breeding fruit flies, while a larger container may be needed for breeding crickets.
• Provide a suitable substrate. The substrate is the material that the insects will live on. It should be something that the insects can burrow into, such as soil, sand, or moss.
• Add food and water. The insects will need food and water to survive. The type of food will depend on the type of insect. For example, fruit flies can be fed sugar water, while crickets can be fed mealworms.
• Keep the container clean. The container should be cleaned regularly to prevent the buildup of waste. This will help to prevent the spread of disease.
• Monitor the insects. It is important to monitor the insects to make sure that they are healthy and thriving. If you notice any problems, such as disease or pests, take steps to correct them.

By following these recommendations, you can successfully breed insects in a controlled environment.

Here are some additional tips for using insect breeding containers:

• Use a lid with a ventilation hole to allow air to circulate. This will help to prevent the buildup of moisture and prevent the spread of disease.
• Place the container in a warm, well-lit location. This will help the insects to grow and develop properly.
• If you are breeding insects for food, be sure to research the specific needs of the species. Some insects, such as crickets, need to be fed a high-protein diet.
• If you are breeding insects for pest control, be sure to release them in the appropriate environment. For example, ladybugs should be released in areas where there are aphids.

entoWIZ Insect breeding dishes are a type of container that is used to breed insects. These insect containers or breeding containers are made of either polystyrene or acrylic both provides an excellent visual clarity that supports in observing insects in the dishes. Insect breeding dishes are often used by scientists and researchers, but they can also be used by hobbyists and backyard entomologists.

There are a number of different factors to consider when choosing an insect breeding dish. The size of the dish will depend on the type of insect that you are breeding. For example, a small dish may be sufficient for breeding fruit flies, while a larger dish may be needed for breeding larger insects, such as crickets. The shape of the dish is also important. Some dishes are designed to be stacked, which can save space. Other dishes have lids with ventilation holes, which helps to keep the insects healthy. All of our dishes are stackable hence useful in where space is in demand.

Insect breeding dishes can be a great way to learn about insects, their life cycle parameters, preferences and their interactions with other insects or predators or prey or with plants or with natural environs like weather conditions. The aeration hole helps in maintain of sufficient humidity and temperature inside the dish for facilitating optimal insect growth.

entoWIZ insect rearing container with 1.5 lit capacity with two aeration holes for easy exchange of air and light to maintain right amount of food moisture and temperature. Continuous, slow exchange of air from the container prevents excessive buildup of moisture in the container and also prevents build up fungi or other harmful microbes. These containers can be used for various insectary activities in general. For mosquitoes, sandflies larvae or general rearing of larvae can be performed using these insect rearing trays.

Insect breeding dishes are used for a variety of purposes, following are few use case areas:

• Scientific research: Insect breeding dishes are used by scientists to study the behavior, development, and ecology of insects. They can also be used to breed insects for experiments or to collect data on insect populations.
• Education: Insect breeding dishes can be used in educational settings to teach students about insects and their life cycles. They can also be used to raise insects for use in school gardens or insect zoos.
• Pest control: Insect breeding dishes can be used to control pests by breeding beneficial insects that prey on pests. For example, ladybugs can be bred in insect breeding dishes to control aphids.
• Aquariums and terrariums: Insect breeding dishes can be used to create mini-ecosystems in aquariums and terrariums. They can be used to house insects that live in soil, such as springtails and isopods, or insects that live in water, such as mosquito larvae.

Introducing the Adult Mosquito Container - a 500ml vessel equipped with a convenient opening lid, ideal for field-based adult mosquito collection. Traditional methods of insect collection and transportation, such as carrying containers with mesh tightened using rubber bands or using test tubes, often facilitate unintended mosquito escapes due to handling. Our enhanced model features a secure lid with an accessible opening, enclosed by a plastic ring, facilitating easy release of collected mosquitoes through the orifice. Additionally, sealing the hole with a cotton plug is effortless and practical. The lid's design prevents accidental openings, ensuring that valuable samples remain intact even in cases of mishandling or falls. This innovation minimises the risk of sample loss, safeguarding valuable and hard-to-obtain specimens.
Always keep the containers flat on the surface which will prevent highly mobile insects escaping while doing collections. These containers are designed keeping in view that when placed horizontally mosquitoes or similar mobile insects will not scape easily. One container is sufficient to hold 250-300 mosquitoes. Overfilling mosquitoes might put pressure on them to escape. Also when collections are over, the containers can be plugged with cotton for carrying to lab. These containers are suitable for various insect species. Each container is equipped with a sticker featuring unique markings to record sampling details such as location, purpose, and coordinates. This specific container serves as a viable replacement or alternative to traditional collection cages or test tubes for field sampling of insect specimens. Additionally, they are ergonomically designed for convenient transportation, allowing them to fit comfortably inside backpacks or field bags.

LABITEMS Multi-well insect bioassay trays, also known as multi-well plates or assay plates, are laboratory tools used in insect toxicology studies to assess the effectiveness of insecticides or other insect control agents. These trays consist of a flat plastic with multiple small wells or compartments arranged in a grid pattern. The tray is divided into eight compartments and each compartment has four wells. In total, the LABITEMS bioassay tray has 32 wells (8 treatments, 4 replicates)

Here are some key features and uses of multi-well insect bioassay trays:

1. Wells: The trays have multiple wells, 32 wells (8 column x 4 rows). The wells are typically in square shaped. Each well can accommodate a specific number of insects, depending on the study requirements.

2. Individual compartments: The main purpose of the wells is to create the individual compartments for conducting separate bioassays simultaneously. This allows researchers to test different insecticides or treatments on separate groups of insects or different insect species in a single experiment.

3. Control and treatment groups: Multi-well trays enable the creation of control groups where insects are not exposed to any insecticides or treatments, providing a baseline for comparison. The remaining wells are used for the treatment groups, where insects are exposed to varying concentrations or formulations of insecticides or other experimental treatments.

4. Observations and measurements: Researchers can easily observe and record the effects of insecticides or treatments on the insects in each well. This includes monitoring mortality rates, behavioral changes, feeding patterns, reproductive effects, or any other relevant observations. Measurements such as insect body weight, growth rates, or physiological parameters can also be collected if required.

5. Replicates and statistical analysis: Multi-well trays allow for replication of experiments by repeating the same treatment combinations in different wells. This replication is crucial for generating statistically meaningful data and drawing reliable conclusions about the efficacy of insecticides or treatments.

6. Efficiency and space-saving: By accommodating multiple bioassays in a single tray, multi-well plates save time and resources, as they reduce the need for individual containers and simplify experimental setup and handling. They also save laboratory space by condensing multiple experiments into a compact format.

Overall, multi-well insect bioassay trays provide a standardized and efficient platform for conducting insect toxicology studies. They facilitate the evaluation of insecticide efficacy, dosage response, insect resistance, or other aspects of insect control research, contributing to the development of effective pest management strategies. 

The safe carrying insects from the field to the lab is important for a number of reasons. First, it helps to prevent the spread of disease when collected insects are mosquitoes and the objective was to analyse the pathogens in the mosquitoes during epidemics. Insects can carry a variety of diseases, both to humans and to other animals. By transporting insects in a safe and secure manner, you can help to prevent the spread of these diseases. Second, safe transportation helps to ensure the insects are kept intact and in good condition for further laboratory studies. Insects can be easily injured or killed if they are not transported properly. By using a secure container with aeration holes, you can help to ensure that the insects transported to lab safely. When transporting insects from the field to the lab, it is important to use a secure container with aeration holes. The container should be made of a sturdy material that will protect the insects from injury. It should also have a lid that can be securely closed to prevent the insects from escaping. The container should also have a number of aeration holes to allow the #insects to breathe. Below are the few tips to safely transport insects Choose a container that is the right size for the number of #insects you are transporting. If you are transporting a large number of insects, you may need to use multiple containers. Label each container with the name of the insect species and the date of collection. Keep the containers in a cool, dark place during transport. By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your insects arrive at their destination safe and sound.
