Can caterpillars get out of the holes at the top of the case?

I don't know - the Red Tool Box Bug Barn was for my grandson but if I remember correctly the holes did look big enough for a caterpillars to get through on the top of the Bug Barn. It might depend on how big the caterpillars are and if there is enough food for them to eat - then why would they leave if they have food.

So pretty much anything can get out of the wholes at the top...I recommend gluing a little bit of screen to the plexi-glass to cover them up. The kids like to catch Lightning Bugs in them, and they do get out if you do not do this.

The holes are less than 1/4" in diameter, probably more like 1/8". I guess a really small caterpillar could find its way out of there, but we have had numerous bugs, little snakes even, in there and so far nothing had escaped out of it. It's a pretty cool little bug box, that's lasted a long time now and our 5 year old loves it.

With a drill. I don't think the size of the holes matter as long as there are enough for them to breathe and allow air circulation if the other sides are occluded for some reason.

I'm not sure what holes you are referring to, however, the hard rubber edges of the case does not attract lint like some of the softer rubber cases will. It feels more like a flexible plastic than a rubber honestly, similar to the material used in flexible school rulers.

Adult crickets can't get through the mesh. Young, tiny ones could I guess. I never had any problem with the adult ones.

Yes. The holes are intentional. They let any water that has settled on top out. Without them you wouldn't be able to pull the cover off nearly as easily. By the way this isn't really meant to be a pool cover. It's a solar heater. And helps keep heat in overnight. You should buy the regular cover and stick it over the top of the solar cover over night if you really want to keep your pool clean

The holes are relatively large and sunflowers with shells can fall out so I would think that shelled seeds have a higher probability of falling. That said I don't believe they would flow out.

Yes, the cords can go through the top of the tubes and there are holes near the bottom they can come out of.

I ordered the caterpillars from another company since this company wouldn't honor the coupon. When they came in the container, a small plastic cup, had a piece of breathable fabric under the perforated lid. I took off the perforated lid and safety pinned a larger, similar piece of fabric to it so when it came time, it would be easier to handle. When the chrysalis formed, we waited two days and got one student to carefully hold the larger piece of fabric to the mesh top of the cage while I carefully safety pinned, using more pins, it to the mesh. A little tricky but we didn't loose any of them. Hope this helps. I ordered the caterpillars from another company since this company wouldn't honor the coupon.

No. But I can put a few (2 or 3) of them on the top. They don't, however, fit into the "holes."

Yes, small insects *could* enter thru the crack (narrow margin) - our's is near the top, much like what is shown in the pic.

No. Smaller bugs like no see ums would get through the holes. But they work great for mosquitoes!

Yes there are small air holes (about the size of a tic tac) that are intermittently spaced around the top.

No. there is no hole in the top. If there was a hole in the top, product would be discharged from it.

No holes. After putting the clothes hangers on the rod and zipping it closed there are two plastic flaps that velcro across the top completely closing the bag over the rod. Looks tight to me. I put a cedar sheet in as well but that was to counteract the unpleasant plastic smell. It worked. Might deter bugs as well.

There is one hole in the top of the ball like unit that is about 3/4". Farther down inside the hole is quite small and has slanted sides - apparently so they gnats cannot get out after they go down where the fluid is. I know that sounds rather complex but this little gadget really works.

It can't get out, because the trap doors close in on it. You have to take the tip off and let the bug out. I gave mine to good-will. It's and under-powered toy as far as I'm concerned.

The two-holed divider cannot be removed - it is stitched into the walls. My son loves crawling through the holes and jumping over the divider. It's not a hindrance.
