For a while I am searching on internet for types, material and especially: mesh-sizes of outdoor-proof insect netting for emergence/breeding-experiments. Its to breed a complete community from logs and standing deadwood.
Is someone experienced with this?
Ideally, it would be:
- mesh size 0.5-0.5mm;
- durable (not easy to destory
- black, or dark green/ brown colour
Thanks in advance for the advice!
Many years ago an arrival of pest insects by unexpected post on a horticultural nursery presented a a similar issue - how to keep the nursery clean, while I mass reared their pests (to rear beneficial insects and mites on them). A local drapers shop had a very fine curtain netting and a local carpenter knocked up wooden frames for me - so all were safely housed and flourishing by nightfall and our internationally renowned Chrysanthemum breeder somewhat re-assured.
