The moisture level and drinking water inside acrylic boxes used to breed parasitoids can be managed by placing a Petri dish with water on top of the box and humidifying the inside with a vaporizer. Through condensation, a suspended dew pool forms inside the box just below the Petri dish, providing the parasitoids with drinking water.
