Abstract
Locusts and other Orthoptera have been reared free from Gregarine parasites in culture jars made from jam jars. Food can be added easily without the escape of insects. A special feature of the jars is the removable base in which faeces accumulate and from which they can be taken at intervals without exposing the insects to the infective stages of Gregarine parasites.Keywords
