Medium Pupae Bridge - Essential Protection for Your Pupae
Keep your mealworm pupae safe from cannibalistic larvae and beetles with this medium 8x11" Pupae Bridge. Made from precision laser-cut 1/8" material, this elevated bridge provides a secure platform for pupae while offering plenty of dark space below for beetles to roam.
How the Pupae Bridge Works:
Simply insert the bridge into your beetle or larvae tray, collect your pupae, and spread them out on the flat elevated surface. When the beetles emerge, they'll naturally crawl off the bridge and down into the substrate to join the colony - but they can't climb back up to eat the vulnerable pupae!
Why Farmers Choose This Size:
- Medium 8x11" surface - perfect for most home farms
- Elevated design keeps pupae safe from cannibals
- Dark space below attracts beetles away from pupae
- Precision laser-cut for perfect fit
- Multiple material options: MDF, Baltic Birch, or Acrylic
- Prevents pupae losses from cannibalism
- Most popular bridge size
Anti-Climb Protection:
To prevent hungry beetles and larvae from climbing up to the pupae buffet, apply packing tape to the sides of wooden bridge supports. The smooth surface stops them from climbing! Or choose the acrylic version - beetles can't climb the smooth acrylic at all!
Perfect For:
- Home mealworm farms (3,000-7,000 worms)
- Farmers struggling with cannibalism losses
- Operations wanting to maximize pupae survival
- Anyone tired of losing pupae to hungry beetles
Material Options:
- MDF - Budget-friendly option
- Baltic Birch - Premium wood durability
- Acrylic - Smooth surface prevents climbing, easy to clean
- Black Acrylic - Same benefits with darker appearance
