You may also use glass objects such as a mason jar, an aquarium, or a fish bowl. Swap out solid lids for cheesecloth or mesh netting so you don't need to drill or hammer air holes into them. The container should have air holes and a handle as well. Make sure the lid is secure by tightening the lid before sealing it. You can also make the terrarium out of cardboard tubes. This method will work best with terrariums that can't be opened or removed without proper ventilation. They should be big enough for bugs to access but not so big that they get crushed by its weight. A sturdy ziplock bag will be plenty to hold the bugs alive.
