Abstract

An inexpensive cage has been designed and constructed to study oviposition and fecundity of the citrus psylla, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio) (Hemiptera: Homoptera: Psyllidae) and for trials to determine transmission of the greening disease of citrus by many different small homopterous insects. The main advantage of this cage is that small insects can temporarily be drawn to the walls of the cage by static electricity. This facilitates the replacement of the terminal branches of nursery trees. The risk of insects escaping is minimal.
