- 8:03 am
- Studentok
- Studentwhat is this?
- Bugscope Teamokay, just got off the phone with your teacher donna
- Bugscope Teamshe is going to login on a student computer
- Bugscope Teamthis is the head of a ladybug, magnified 124x
- Bugscope Teamthis is a ladybug head
- Bugscope Teamluke, you actually have control of the scope, see the controls on the right?
- Bugscope Teamtry changing the mag
- Bugscope Teamor drive around if you want
- Studentyes
- Bugscope Teamawesome, there ya go!
- Bugscope Teamyou are controlling an electron microscope, live over the internet
- Bugscope Teamif you want to look at something else, you can click on a preset, and the scope will move to that preset
- Bugscope Teamthe compound eyes are on the side of the head, and the vacuum cleaner nozzle looking things are palps
- Studentwhere are the eyes?
Bugscope Teamcheck them out, they are on the right side of the head
- 8:08 am
- Bugscope Teamthey are kinda big, and roundish
- Bugscope Teamthe palps help the ladybug taste and eat the food
- Bugscope Teamand they are made up of smaller facets
- Studentwow
- Studentwhere is the mouth?
- Bugscope Teamthe mouth was in the middle of the head
- Studentwhat are those?
- Studenthwat kind of spider is this
- Bugscope Teamthese are setae, or insect hairs, on a spider
- Studenthello
- Studentwhat is it?
- Bugscope Teamit was a small black hairy spider
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentwhat is his ?
- Studentthis*
- Bugscope TeamThese are setae on one of the spiders
- Studentis that foot hair
- Studentwhat do thet do?
- Bugscope Teamsetae are what we are supposed to call hairs
- Studentwhat is a setae
Bugscope Teamsetae are hairs on an insect, they help the insect to sense its environment
- Studenthello m
- Guestwhat do the cetea do
Bugscope Teamthe setae allow the insect to sense its environment in different ways. These probably are super sensitive to vibrations. other setae functions would be tasting, feeling, sensing wind movement, etc
- Bugscope Teamthey are sensory, often
- Studenthello mr scientist
- Studentare those the legs?
- Studentimage not showing
Bugscope Teamif the image is blank, try hitting refresh, F5
- Guestwhere are the located
- Bugscope Teamthey transmit vibrations to the nerves so the spider can sense what is going on
- Studenthow big are they?
- Studentwhere are they on the spider
- Studentmy name is cheese ball
- Studentwhat are those
- Studentwhat is this
- Bugscope Teamcheese ball we are with you on that
- Studenthow many setaes do spiders have
- Studentdoes it come off
- Bugscope TeamMs S!!! i was wrong about full screen mode, full screen mode is F11, not F5. F5 is refresh. my mistake.... try F11
- Guestwhere is the seta located
- Studentcan we see more of the bug?
Bugscope Teamyes, currently luke has control, ask luke to reduce the magnification
- StudentDoes the hair grow if its cut off ?
Bugscope TeamOnce an insect has its final (adult) molt, any setae or hairs that get cut off will not grow back
- Studenthellllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooo
- Studentwhat structure is this?
- Guestwhat is this
- Bugscope Teamwith spiders you can often differentiate sex by looking at the palps on the front of the head -- of the cephalothorax
- Studenti dont know
- Bugscope Teamthis is back to the ladybug
- Studentyay, thank you.
- Studentcan they swing on webs
- Bugscope Teamthis is one of its claws

- Student3
- Student4
- Student5
- Student+
- Guestwhat r those little priky things
Bugscope Teamthe hair on the right or on the claw?
- Bugscope TeamLuke has control now
- Bugscope Teamthe tenent setae allow the ladybug to stick to walls and ceilings
- 8:13 am
- Studentwat iz dat?
- StudentDo they need hair ?
Bugscope TeamInsects wear their skeletons on the outside of their bodies. The setae are connected to the nervous system and they allow the insect to sense what is going on in its environment--through the exoskeleton
- Bugscope Teamluke has control of the scope right now
- Studentthere is nothing there
- Studentluke has control of the scope right now
- Studentluke has control of the scope right now
- Studentluke sjywalker use the power

- Studentgotcha buddy
- Studentwhat is the phylum of the bug
Bugscope TeamArthropoda
- Guestwhat are the hair like substances used for
- Studentwhat are the bumps on the top
- Bugscope Teamokay, ms s, i just gave you control, did you get the screen res issue fixed?
- Bugscope Teamtenent is Latin for 'to hold'
- TeacherCan you switch controls to adrianthac
- Studentyou tell me
- Studentto stick to things s,rt one
- Studentwhat to lady bugs eat?
Bugscope Teamthey eat other insects. they are helpful to gardens and farmers by eating aphids
- Studenthow old is the bug?
Bugscope TeamMost insects have one generation per year---so I would say that this insect is one year old.
- Student3
- Bugscope Teamadrianthaco has control now!
- Studenthoww do you know
- Studentwhy is it bumpy
- Studentwhat is that?
- Studentis that the mouth on top?
- Studentdo you have any cnidarians?

- Bugscope Teamyes, the face, if you can call it that
- Studentdoes it have a homeotic leg?
- Bugscope Teamkinda looks like me in the mornings...
- Guesthow do u tell the difference between a male and female lady bug
Bugscope TeamFemales are generally larger in beetles.
- Studentwhat kind of bug is this
- Bugscope Teamthis is the ventral side of the ladybug, and we can see part of the face

- Bugscope Teamthis is a carbon tape on the stub, nothing interesting, click on a preset, yay! there ya go
- Studentdoes the lady bug pee on you and give u a rash or infection?
- Studentwhere are the antennas
- Studentwhat is this
- Bugscope Teamthe circles are bubbles in the doublestick tape
- Studentbe nice alex, i'm new at this.

- Bugscope Teamthe fangs are going across in the middle
- Studentis this a spider
- Bugscope Teamit has a bit of gunk on it
- Student;-p
- Studenthow is that a spiders mouth?
- Bugscope Teamyes it is poisonous
- Student=Þ
- Guestis this the inside of the mouth
- Student;-D
- Bugscope Teamyou can see one of the poison ducts
- Bugscope Teamcould see one
- Studentwhere?
- Studentwhere
- Studentif you look at the bug withiout the scope can you see the hair?
Bugscope Teamwell, probably not, the hairs are very small, but some setae are big on some insects, so maybe
- StudentHow are thier wings strong enough to fly?
Bugscope TeamThe exoskeleton is a hollw tube, making the insect light and yet strong. The thorax of insects is packed with muscle that can generate enough lift to get them off the ground.
- Studentis this the flagela?
- Bugscope Teamnow you can see a mold spore
- Studentwhat type of spider is this ?
- Studentare these things sharp
- Studentflagela is smaller
- Studentlooks lsimy
- Studentyeah it looks like mold
- 8:23 am

- Studentwhere are the spiders found
- Studentcn spders wlk on glss
- Bugscope Teamthis is a super tiny spider we had, and we don't know much about it
- StudentDous this bug have some kind of desease?!!!
Bugscope TeamMaybe..it is hard to know if insects have diseases until you dissect them and look at their organs
- Studentwhos jesse?
- Bugscope Teamyes many spiders can walk on glass
- Studentwhats the name of the spider?
- Studentok what do you know about it
- Studentanything interesting?
- Studentthey fly?
- Studentwhat type of spider is this?
- Studentwhat;s with the thorax
- Studentis this spider dead ?
- Studentwhy are the legs curled up?

Bugscope TeamIt is clear in most species
- Teachercan you switch controls to rasheys
- Studenti think the spider is on its back.
- Studenthow many legs are there
- Bugscope Teamrasheys has control now!
- Bugscope Teamrasheys has control
- Student8
- Studentwheres the head
- Studentwhere's the head?
- Studenthave u ever put a live insect in the microscope before
- Studentok thank you for the info mr.
- Bugscope Teamthey can just let them detach if they sense venom -- if they have been bitten
- StudentCan Insects be born with mutations ?
- Studentbut how come when u kill it its like brown
- Bugscope Teamwe have had live insects before
- Studenthow can you tell if the annimal has a disease
Bugscope TeamYou cut the insect open and look at its organs to see if there is anything abnormal. Then, you make a microscope slide with the blood of the insect, then look at the slide under the microscope to see if there are any pathogens in the bloos.
- Bugscope Teamand insects can be born with mutations
- Bugscope Teamlike Annie said you can dissect them and sometimes tell that way
- Studentdoes this spider have a head?
- Bugscope Teamthat was close...
- Bugscope Teamwe coat the bugs with gold-palladium
- Studentwhat happened to the insects that were alive?
- Guestwhat is that hole
- Bugscope Teamspiders often do not have a head -- they have a cephalothorax
- Studentare you going to disect the spider after?
- Studentwhos cheeseball
- 8:29 am
- Studentcan you explain what that is?
Bugscope Teamwe were looking at the abdomen of the spider. it was a bit deflated
- Studentif they dont have heads then how do they see
- Bugscope Teamno we will just trash it when we are done
- Studentcheeseball is karen
- Studentwhat is that hole?
- Studentkaren
- Bugscope Teamthey have a head/body
- Studentwait on second will u be disecting the spider answer me please
Bugscope Teamno, these are insects for bugscope only, we won't be dissecting these
- Student are we going to look at another insect
- Studentoooo thanks
- Bugscope Teamthe head is not separate from the thorax
- Studentthat figures
- Bugscope Teamthis is an ant mouth
- Studentthat is ?
- StudentWhat kind of mutions usually happen ?
- Studentwhat is that?
- Studentsomeone must have steped on it.
- Bugscope Teamthis is now the necl of the ant, and -- back to the mouth
- Studentok thanks mr.
- Bugscope Teamthere are hinged jaws going across
- Bugscope Teamthis is an ant
- Bugscope Teamno prob
- Studentdoridos are better than cheeseballs
- Studentis this a worm?
Bugscope Teamthis is an ant
- Guestwhat type of ant
- Studentwhat kind of ant?
- StudentYou just said it was a spider
Bugscope Teamwell, it was, but rasheys click on preset #3, which took us to an ant
- Studentdoes this ant bite
- Studentor does it have teeth
- Studentno
- Studentcan you automatically tell that something is abnormal?
- Studentits an ant
- Studentno
- Bugscope Teamthis ant can bite as well as sting
- Studentwhat part of the ant is it
Bugscope Teamthis is the underside of the head
- Studentdo you kno what this spider ate for his last meal?
Bugscope Teamprobably a fly
- Studentdoes it have any teeth?
- StudentAh, thankyou
- Studentcan the bite do damage to someons body
- Studentant not spider.
- Studentis that the homeotic leg?
- Studentummmm
- Studentso what if an insect bites an infected person? can anything bad happen to them?
- Studentyou tell me
- Studenthow long do these insects usually live?
Bugscope Teamgosh, there is so much variation, even within a species, for example with these ants, the queen will live longer than a worker... but overall, they live a lot less longer than humans do
- Studentlike spiderman??
- Guesthow come it isnt symmetrical
- Bugscope Teamusually human diseases are not insect diseases, and vice versa
- Studentwhere are the eyes?
- Bugscope Teamthis is bilaterally symmetrical
- StudentWhy do red ants bite while regular black ants dont ?
- Studentwhat species of spider is this and what dous it eat ?!!
- Studentdoes it have teeth?
- Studentwheres the mouth
- Bugscope Teamthe eyes are not visible here
- Bugscope Teamthis is the mouth
- Studentwas this a red or black ant
- Studentabout how big are the eyes????
Bugscope Teamask rasheys to drive the scope to the eyes, al we'll take a closer look at them!
- Studentis it able to kind of "chew" its food?
- Bugscope Teamthis could be an argentine ant, but I'm not sure
- Studentwat if an ibnsect passes a human disease to another person by biting them?
- Bugscope Teamthis one may not chew its food
- Bugscope Teaminsect eyes are very cool looking
- StudentWHAT SPECIES IS THIS AND WHAT DOES IT EAT?
- 8:34 am
- Studentwhy dont ants die when you step on them? dont you think we crush their exosceleton
- Studenthow big is its brain?
- Studentwhere are the antanne
- Bugscope Teamit may ingest it as a liquid
- Studentis the ant able to "chew" its food
Bugscope TeamYes, they do chew their food...they have a number of mouthparts that we can barely see here that they use to chew
- Studentthanks scottttttttttttttttttttttt
- Studentoops caps lock srry :(
- Bugscope Teamthere is an eye
- Bugscope Teamthat's the eye on the left
- Studenti dont think we saw the eye
- Studentis it the netty thing?
- Bugscope Teamnow you can see an eye -- a compound eye -- and the base of an antenna
- Studentoooo
- Studenthow many bubbly looking things are there?
- Bugscope Teamthe curved bumpy part is the eye
- Bugscope Teamit's made up of individual facets, called ommatidia
- Studentdo they have good vision?
- Studentok
- Guestwhy does it have bumps on its eye
Bugscope Teameach bump is an individual eye facet, with a lens
Bugscope Teamit is a compound eye. the individual parts are called ommatidia and they each collect an image and send it back to the brain
- Bugscope Teamthey do not have particularly good vision
- Studentits tons of little eyes
- Studentduz the eye see like a million of the same things?
- Studentits like looking at 16 bit pixels
- StudentStand for plege
- Studentis there a mutation?
- Bugscope Teamthey use their antennae more than their eyes, generally, to collect information
- Bugscope Teamants don't usually have very good vision. some ants have no eyes at all.
- Bugscope Teamsome ants are blind -- they do not even bother to have eyes
- Studentthey use thier antennae to sense where they are? and how to move?
- Studentso if each bumb is an eye does it see like 30 of the same thing?
Bugscope Teamwell, no, the brain collects the individual images and compiles it into one image. think about it: you have two eyes, do you see TWO images? no, just one
- Bugscope Teamd'oh
- Studenthow do they go around iwhtout eyes ?
- Studentits nto the same thing
- Studenthow much can it weight lift?
- Studentarts
- Bugscope Teamthey can use their antennae to tell where they are and what is around them
- Studenthow do they ilft things
- Studentok
- Bugscope Teamwell, okay, maybe literally you see two images, but your brain makes it easy on you and convinces your mind that you are seeing one image
- Bugscope Teamthey use their mouths to grab hold of the things they want to move
- Studenthow many feet does it have
Bugscope Team6. an ant is an insect
- Studenthi xiara
- Studentjesse!!
- Studentmuch do ants weigh?
- Studentjulia
- 8:39 am
- Bugscope Teamthere are many different types of ants in a colony, and they have different roles to play, of course
- Bugscope Teamyes, all insects have 6 legs (feet)
- Bugscope Teamand they wear loafers...
- Bugscope Teamunlike Bee Story
- Studentjesse
- Studentbye mr. thank you for your help .
- Bugscope Teamor Bee Movie, whatever
- Bugscope Teambee movie
- Bugscope Teamso, you are all artists? is that right?
- Bugscope Teamor in art class?
- Bugscope Teamwith the anthropomorphic insects
- Studentya has six feet but do all insects have six feet
Bugscope Teamyes unless i accidentally take them off when putting them on the stub :)
- Studenti am
- Student??????
- Studentbiology
- Bugscope Teamoh, my mistake, biology, cool!
- Studentsome of us are in art class for this
- Studenti am a tard
- Studentis that the eye
- Studentcan we change the pic...please
- Studentthat is not true
- Studenti do AP biology
- Studentyes u r XJ
- Studentclose up on the eyes
- Studentyes joe you are
- Bugscope Teamlarval stages of insects may have more than 6 limbs
- Studentevertone left
- Studenthow many bugs do you guys look at per year
Bugscope Teamtoo many to count!
- Studentwerd
- Bugscope Teamrasheys has control, ask him to click on another preset, or we can give control to someone else
- Studentdo bugs get pimples
Bugscope Teamheh, well, i'm not sure, that's a good question though. however, they are probably far to concerned with surviving to care about acne or anything like that
- Studento
- Studentdo ants have good eye sight?
Bugscope Teamno but thats ok because they don't rely on their eyes
- Studentcan it live with one eye
- Bugscope TeamRasheys you can change the mag or move if you want
- Studentwhat do they eat
- Studentjoe are you xj
- Studenthi kevin
- Studentcan we look at a butterfly

- Studentjoe and xiara
- Bugscope Teamlz they use their antennae
- Studenthi joe
- Studentxj is xiara and joe
- 8:44 am
- Studentwhy is this insect so furry?
Bugscope Teaminsect exoskeletons are like a suit of armor and they need to be able to sense whats going on around them but with the armor that is hard, so they have setae (hairs) to help them sense everything
- Bugscope Teamthey get lots of info from smells, etc
- Studentany more pictures
- Studentput on the stinger
- Bugscope Teamjay kay, go ahead and drive around, click on a preset, whatever floats your boat
- Bugscope Teamthe fur is an abundance of sensory setae
- Studentwhat kind of climate does it live in
- Studentwhat is the biggest bug you have ever looked at?
Bugscope Teamwell, i'm pretty big, for a ladybug ;) naw, the ESEM is made to look at small things, to the biggest bug we could put in there would be about an inch or inch and a half
- Studentkeifer\r
- Student??????
- Studentis this a lea-cutter ant?
- Studentleaf
- Bugscope Teamsome of the setae are mechanosensory and some are chemosensory
- Studentare there different types of ants?
- Studentare we still looking at the ant
- Bugscope Teamthis is not a leafcutter
- Studentwhat type of ant is it?

- Bugscope Teamcool i mean
- Studentooo cool
- Studentwhat is the wing made of?
Bugscope TeamThey are made of chitin and protein
- Studentwhat kind things do they sense?
Bugscope TeamInsects sense smells emitted by their host plants or by other insects of the same species, they sense wind, they sense changes in the weather, they sense light, they sense heat...they sense every thing!
- Bugscope Teamwe have a couple of spiders, a monarch butterfly wing, 2 ants, a true bug, a ladybug

- Studentcan we look at the whole thing
- Studentare these rips in the wing?
- Studentdo u have any other pictures of the butterfly?

- Studentwhy do differents kinds of butterflies have different colors?
Bugscope Teamyes they have different color patterns, but we can't see color in the electron microscope
- Studentgjh
- Bugscope Teamwait, some of those black things are actually holes in the wing, i was wrong about the dirt thing!
- Studentboo
