Micro-Mesh Fly Hatching & Feeding Net | Jumping Spider Keeper Essential

The Compact Fly Fortress | Small-Scale Hatching & Feeding Nets

Stop the escape artists in their tracks. Our Small-Scale Micro-Mesh Fly Nets are a great design for keepers of jumping spiders who need a reliable, mess-free way to manage greenbottles and bluebottles without taking up unnecessary shelf space.

Whether you're hatching a small batch of pupae or maintaining a steady supply of livefood for a vast collection, these nets provide the perfect balance of visibility, airflow, and security in a space-saving design.

Why Our Nets Are a "Must-Have" for Jumpers

Keeping jumping spiders is a joy; chasing a stray bluebottle around your living room is not. We designed these nets to be unobtrusive and efficient:

• Ultra-Fine Micro-Mesh: Small enough to contain even the peskiest flies, but breathable enough to prevent mould and keep your feeders healthy.
• Space-Saving Footprint: Our nets are intentionally small and compact, making them perfect for shelving units, desks, or small hobby rooms where space is at a premium.
• Collapsible Design: Pop them up when your casters or flies arrive, and fold them completely flat when the feeding cycle is done.
• Easy Access Port: Large enough to get your feeding tongs or collection vials in without letting flies escape.

** FLY NET COLOUR MAY VARY **

Keep Your Feeders Fresh with Jelly Pots

Don't let your livefood go to waste. The compact size of this net is perfectly suited for jelly pots. Simply peel and place a jelly pot inside the net to provide your flies with a clean, mess-free source of hydration and energy.

Using jelly pots instead of sponges eliminates the risk of drowning and keeps the enclosure smelling fresh while ensuring your flies stay nutritious for your spiders.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What flies can I use this net for?
The net is designed for green bottle flies (Lucilia sericata) and blue bottle flies (Calliphora vomitoria) — the two most popular feeder flies for jumping spiders. It can also be used for hatching pupae and managing other livefood cultures.

Will flies escape through the mesh?
No — the ultra-fine micro-mesh is specifically sized to contain both green and blue bottle flies while still allowing excellent airflow to keep your feeders healthy and prevent mould.

How do I store it when not in use?
The net is fully collapsible and folds completely flat, making it easy to store between feeding cycles. It takes up minimal space on a shelf or in a drawer.

Can I use jelly pots inside the net?
Yes — the compact size is perfectly suited for our jelly pots, which provide a clean, mess-free source of hydration for your flies. This keeps them nutritious for longer and eliminates the drowning risk of wet sponges.

Is this suitable for fruit fly cultures?
The net is primarily designed for green and blue bottle flies. For fruit fly (Drosophila) cultures, a sealed culture pot is more appropriate as the mesh may not be fine enough to contain them.

Does the colour of the net vary?
Yes — fly net colour may vary between orders. The functionality is identical regardless of colour.
