Abstract: A container for shipping and utilizing stinging insects for therapeutic purposes includes an elongated sidewall portion having uniform cross-sectional configuration along a center axis of elongation, and end closures disposed at front and rear extremities of the sidewall. One of the end closures is a mesh panel which prevents passage of insects but permits stinging therethrough. A wafer, slideably positionable within the container permits isolation of one insect and advancement of the insect to the mesh panel which may be held against the patient's skin.
