ABSTRACT:
A live insect feeder for use with a tank, such as an aquarium or a terrarium containing a live fish or animal that feeds on the live insects, includes a container having an opening through which an adult flightless insect can pass, and a tacky substance encircling the opening on the outside of the container. A medium for feeding the insects is contained within the container. When fertile eggs of the flightless insect are introduced into the container, the larvae that hatch from the eggs feed upon the food medium until they reach the adult stage. They either remain within the container, breeding a new generation of insects, or pass through the opening. When the container is positioned with the opening over the tank, the flightless insects passing through the opening either fall off or jump off into the tank thereby becoming food for the fish or animal living within the tank.
