Bugscope TeamInsects are covered with hairs (which we call setae). The setae help the insect to sense its environment through its thick exoskeleton

- Studentok
- Studentwhat are you talking about ?
- Bugscope Teamthis is one of the limbs of a velvet ant
- Studenthow do ants have babies
Bugscope TeamLike most insects, ants hatch from eggs. Unlike most insects though, all the eggs in a single colony are produced from a queen ant. Worker ants generally do no lay eggs.
- GuestAh.

- Studentnasty people

Bugscope TeamThis is about 60 X

- StudentoOo..........
- Studentaaaaaaaa
- Studentok we no
- Studenthow can u tell if they are poisonous or not?
Bugscope TeamMost insects with stingers have venom which they inject when they sting. Most insect stings are not generally harmful to humans. A sting may itch or burn for a while, but usually there are no long term effects unless you have an allergy
- Studentwhy did u write dumbo kids you popular kds only

- Bugscope Teambestfriends ants are very strong for their size
- Studentnomas keria ablarles
- Studentwhat is that big thing
Bugscope TeamThat is the ant's abdomen
- Studentdo you know what that big thing is for?
Bugscope TeamThe abdomen of an insect contains the digestive and reproductive organs. Worker ants do not reproduce, so their reproductive organs are reduced (generally speaking).
- GuestThat is the abdomen, or the gaster, to really be accurate.
- Studentwhat is that
- Studenthahaha yeah they are?hahahah h20
- Studentit's the abdomen
- Studentis the popular kids joceline
- Studenti Don't know what is the big thing
- Student idk
- Bugscope Teamyes the ant abdomen is called a 'gaster'
- Studentno!
- GuestIn ants, bees and wasps part of the abdomen is fused to the thorax (the middle body segment), so what looks like the abdomen is really only part of the abdomen. It's called the caster.
- StudentWAT R THOSE BALLZ?
- Bugscope Teamthis is the top of the head of a spider
- Studenteeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Bugscope Teamthese are some of the spines on the velvet ant limbs, again
- Studenty do u want to no
- Studentnooooo
- Studentthey look like fangs or hair
- Studentwat do they use there spines for
Bugscope TeamThe spines are different types of setae. The setae help the insect/spider to sense its environment through the hard exoskeleton. Some setae are mechanosensory, some are chemosensory.
- Studentor bannannas

- Student??????????????????????????????????????????????????
- Studentare they used for anything?
Bugscope TeamThe photos?
- StudentY R THYERE LITTLE HAIRS?
Bugscope TeamThe hairs (or setae as we call them) generally help the arthropod to sense its environment. Some setae sense smell or taste, or they can help to defend the arthropod
- Studentwhoz mariza
- Bugscope Teamthe images are yours, for your class
- Bugscope Teamyou can access them later

- Teacherthanks for stopping by chris
- Teacher4th period is coming in
- Bugscope Teamyeah Thanks Chris!
- TeacherScott, do we have other presets for 4th period. They were looking at antennae and I sent some cool ones
- GuestSure. Bye.
- 1:36 pm
- Bugscope TeamI am sorry we have all we had time to make for today
- Bugscope Teamsomewhere in here there is an insect that has placoid sensilla on the antennae, and I forget which it is
- Bugscope Teamreally cool too
- Bugscope TeamYay!
- Bugscope TeamThey're on the velvet ant
- 1:43 pm
- TeacherToo bad, I sent some awesome antennae
- Bugscope Teamthis is pretty cool
- TeacherWe'll do the best with what we have
- Bugscope Teamnot something you get to see often
- TeacherPlease give me control so I can show the kids how to use the scope
- Bugscope TeamCate put spiders and ants on the stub for today.
- Bugscope TeamYou have it now.
- Bugscope TeamPlacoid sensilla are only found in hymenoptera (so far)
- TeacherSo there are other insects on the stub not on the presets?
- Bugscope TeamMr M I am sorry we don't have the antennae on this stub
- Bugscope Teamjust spiders and ants
- Bugscope Teamand the spider eggs and egg sac
- TeacherOur session for spiders was tomorrow do we use this stub again?
- Bugscope TeamI think I put at least a part of each insect/spider on as a preset
- Bugscope Teamwe won't use this again
- Bugscope Teambrb
- Bugscope TeamOkay I see that we have a bunch of insects with cool antennae for tomorrow
- Bugscope Teamthis is the antenna of the velvet ant, up close
- Studentwhat is this
- Bugscope Teamso you can see a couple of placoid sensilla
- 1:48 pm
- Bugscope TeamWe are looking at the antenna of a velvet ant
- Bugscope Teamplacoid means they are plate-like
- Studentwhat isthis
- Studentthis is an antena
- Studentwhat is this
- Bugscope Teaminsects and other similar arthropods need to be able to sense their surroundings, and they have setae and sensilla that allow them to do that
- Bugscope Teamthey can sense temperature, wind or touch, and chemicals (scents) in the air
- Studentcactus
- Studentwhat are the holes in the middle
Bugscope TeamThe small round holes are places where setae rubbed or fell off. They are sockets for the setae
- Bugscope Teamsome of the setae are analogous to rat or cat whiskers
- Bugscope Teamsome insects can also sense sound
- Bugscope Teamthrough vibration
- Bugscope Teamif you take the magnification down you can see where we are
- Studentwhat is that leaf lik thang
- Bugscope Teamon the velvet ant antenna
- Bugscope Teamthere are microsetae here as well as dirt and the placoid sensilla
- Bugscope Teamnow you can start to see where we are on the antenna
- Studentwhat do the hairs help with
- Studentwhat do the hairs do
- Bugscope Teamthe velvet ant is glowing because it is charging up with electrons
- 1:53 pm
- Studentis a velvet ant
- Student=]
- Studentwhat type of ant is it
- Studentwhy does it look that way
- Studenthi
- Studentchris
- Bugscope Teamsometimes we cannot get a sample well grounded with gold palladium and it glows like this
- Studentchris
- Studentdo nit write silly things
- Bugscope Teamall of the samples we are imaging today are coated with a few nanometers of gold-palladium alloy
- Bugscope Teamit makes them look silvery
- Bugscope Teamto the eye
- Bugscope Teamin the 'scope of course all we see are these gray scale images
- Studentso um is it hard to answer us
- Bugscope Teamthe samples we are looking at are inside a vacuum chamber
- Studentwhat are the things that look like sponge?
Bugscope TeamI don't know which things you are talking about---can you be more specific?
- Studentoh why do you need to coat a few nanometers
- TeacherHow do the sensilla help the velvet ant?
Bugscope TeamThe sensilla on the antenna of the velvet ant most likely serve several functions. Some sensilla give the velvet ant information about its physical surroundings, the temperature, humidity. Some sensilla allow the velvet ant to taste or to smell. Sensillar can also keep away dirt.
- Bugscope Teamsometimes it is hard to answer, yes
- Studentdo u injoy ur job????
- Studentyea do u
- Studentwhy is it hard to answer kids ?
- Bugscope Teamlexie the sample needs to be conductive, and so we use a sputter coater to put a thin coat of gold-palladium on the surface of the sample
- Studentwhat is it
- Bugscope Teamlexie sometimes the questions come so fast we can't catch them all
- Bugscope Teamand some questions require longer and better answers than we have time for
- TeacherWhy dont many insects have these kind of sensilla
Bugscope TeamI am not sure why. Perhaps it is a special adaptation in some of the "higher" hymenoptera
- Studenthey mr. do you likeyour job
- Bugscope Teamsometimes of course we don't know the answers
- Studentdo you see the stuff that isin the side of the hairs
- Bugscope TeamYes this is a cool cool job
- TeacherPlease give control to smalls
- Studentoh i still think thats cool
- Studentohh cool
- Bugscope Teamsome of the holes are where there used to be microsetae
- Bugscope Teamand those placoid scales may be temperature sensors, not sure
- 1:58 pm
- Bugscope Teamcould also be chemosensors
- Studentis a leg
- Studentis there lots of kids who go on this web site
- StudentwhaT THE c0o3st thinG @b0uT UR JOB?
- Bugscope Teamthis is the head of one of the spiders
- Student wat is this
- Studentyou guys stop moving the picture!!
- Bugscope Teamwe can see four of the spider's eyes here
- Studentcool
- Bugscope Teambrb
- Studentwhy do the spiders need so many eyes
Bugscope TeamThat is a good question. Different eyes very likely sense different things, light, movement, length of the day. I am not sure if anyone knows for sure.
- Studenthi amor
- Studentdo spiders have antena
Bugscope TeamNope, no antennae
- Studentok scott
- Student is it a eye =.>
- Studentwuz up amor
- StudentDo spiders have anntenas
- Studentyou guys stop writing silly things! >:(
- Studentwhat kind of spider is thhis and is it poisunous
Bugscope TeamI am not sure what type of spider this is, but we are pretty sure it is not poisonous. There are actually very few dangerous spiders in the US. The black widow spider, and the brown recluse are the two main poisonous spiders here. I am not sure if there are any others.
- StudentARE THOSE WRINKLES ON THE SPIDER
- Studentwhat are those things that look like hairs?
- Bugscope Teamspiders don't have antennae but they have lots of plumose setae that give them a lot of sensitivity to vibration
- Bugscope Teamthe balls are four of the eyes
- Studentwhat part of the spider is this
- Studentwhat the hardest part of working for bugscope..............?
- Bugscope Teamyou can see that there is some kind of dried film that is cracking on the spider's head there
- Studentthis is cool
- Studentwhy is it cracking
- Studentwhat is that!
- StudentSTOP DOING THAT =P
- Bugscope Teamthe hardest part is getting the samples to look good sometimes
- Studentwhat is that?
- 2:03 pm
- Studenthi chris
- Bugscope Teamthis is one of the ants
- Studentstop saying hi we are like rite across from each otther foreal
- Bugscope Teamyou can see that one of its antennae busted off

- Studentwow that is awesome it seems really fun i would like to study that
- Studentohh thats cool
- StudentScott is the antenaa?
- Bugscope TeamI don't think it takes that much power, but we are running at 5000 Volts right now

- StudentTHIS IS VERY COOL
- Bugscope Teamonly microWatts of powere
- Bugscope Teampowere
- Bugscope Teampower
- Studentwho are you
- Studentwhats that
- StudentWhat do the hairs do?
Bugscope TeamThe hairs help the insect/spider to sense its environment
- Studentwho r u
- Studentdid you guys make the microscope? or did you buy it
- Bugscope Teamhere we are so close I don't know just where we are
- Teacherplease give control to ironbrown
Bugscope TeamI am not sure what type of spider this is, but we are pretty sure it is not poisonous. There are actually very few dangerous spiders in the US. The black widow spider, and the brown recluse are the two main poisonous spiders here. I am not sure if there are any others.
- Studentthey made it i thinkl
- 2:08 pm
- Studentdo you need a scolarship to have your job
Bugscope TeamNo, that is the nice thing about jobs...they pay you, you don't need a scholarship
- Bugscope Teamwe bought this 'scope and I was hired to run iot
- Bugscope Teamit
- StudentHOW OLD ARE YOU=>
Bugscope TeamI am 27
- Studenthi nicole

- StudentDammmm!!!!
- Studentx)
- Bugscope TeamI like earwigs, flies, ticks although they are not insects
- Studentdats VERY expensive
- Studentggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
- StudentEarwings are not insects??
Bugscope TeamEarwigs ARE insects. They have six legs, two antennae, compound eyes and two set of wings. That qualifies them as antennae
- Bugscope Teamthis is another antennae with all kinds of sensory setae on it
- StudentCool
- Studentdo you have any crabspiders
- Studentwhy does this insect have those holes
- Bugscope Teamearwigs are insects but ticks are arachnids
- Studentticks arent insects then what are they♥☺♥☺

- Studentare there such things as spider pigs
Bugscope Teamum, no
- Bugscope Teamhere we can see the business end of the spider
- Teacherplease give control to kermit the piggy
- Studentnothing ilke them i was wondering if you do
- Bugscope Teamthe fangs are in the middle
- StudentWHY ARENT FISH INSECTS
Bugscope TeamFish are vertebrates: they have vertebrae and backbones. They do not have exoskeletons, they do not have antennae, they do not have wings. They are definitely not insects.
- 2:18 pm
- Bugscope Teamthese are the chelicers, the chelicerae
- Studentare there things that are insects that have to do with monkeys?
- Bugscope Teamthe fangs are below
- Studentâ•©cus thier fishâ•©
- StudentWHY IS THERE A CRACK RITE THERE??? IS THAT TO SEPERATE THE EYES
- StudentHave you ate earthworms??
Bugscope TeamNo, they don't seem so interesting. I have many other things that I would rather eat.
- Studentwhy does it look like a cactus?
- Bugscope Teamwhen a male spider does not want to get bitten by a female spider he puts web right here, where we are
- Studenthave you ever seen a spider pig
- Bugscope Teamso the female cannot open the chelicers and bite him
- StudentNO
- Studenteww
- StudentNOT ME
- Bugscope Teamthere are the fangs at the bottom of the chelicerae
- StudentTHIS IS VERY INTERESTING
- Studentare you and anne marred
- Bugscope Teamno.
- Bugscope TeamI could never keep up with Annie.
- Studentwhere do you get these magnifinescopes
- Studentdo u like her
- Studenthow can u tell the difference between a female spider and a male spider? can you tell by anntenaes
Bugscope TeamYou can tell by the length of their palps--which are part of their mouths. Males have longer palps than females.
- Bugscope TeamScott and I are friends
- StudentIF YOUR THAT BORED THEN TALK TO YOUR FRIEND DNT GO ON AND SAY HI ON THE COMPUTER
- Bugscope Teamyou can tell by the palps, sometimes
- Studentwhat up rockstars
- Studenthow sweet hehe
- Studentfriendssss
- Studentwhat are palps
- Studentwhen was bugscope invented
Bugscope Teamin 1999.
- Bugscope TeamThat's the short answer
- Bugscope Teamyeah 1999
- Studentso is this a male or female and where is the papls
- Studentwhat month
- StudentHOW LONG DOES IT TKE FOR A SPIDERS EGGS HATCH
Bugscope TeamMany spider eggs are deposited in the fall and they hatch the following spring. Just like in Charlotte's Web
- Bugscope TeamI think this is a girl spider
- StudentDo the male spider have babies??
Bugscope TeamWell, even girl spiders don't have babies. They lay eggs.
- Bugscope Teamthe palps are long but not bulbous like I think they are for males usually
- StudentPLEASE TAKE US TO PRE SET 7
- Studentdo u 2 get paid for doin dis
- StudentCRIS AND BABY PHAT ARE GOING OUT
- 2:23 pm
- StudentNAAAAAAAAA
- Bugscope TeamAnnie does this for free.
- Bugscope TeamI get paid because it is part of my day at work.
- Studentdo u get paid
- Bugscope TeamWell, sort of free ;)
- Studenthow old do you have 2 b to do this job?
Bugscope TeamA few years ago we had someone who was in high school who helped us out
- Bugscope TeamBut Annie does get to use the 'scope when she wants to.
- Studentsohh
- StudentPLEASE TAKE US TO PRE SET 7
- Studentwell .. im sorry i didnt mean to say babies!
- Studentis annie spoiled?
Bugscope TeamDepends on who you ask.
- Studentjosh adv nmx
- Studenthow old do you have to apply for the job
- StudentTHEY MAKE A CUTE MACH
- Student:S
- Studentyou guys are crazy
- Studentbut a specific number
- Bugscope TeamChas started working for us when he was 15
- Studentare those macaroni shells
- StudentWhat is that!
- Student THEY HAD 2EGGS
- StudentWHY DO THE SPIDER EGGS LOOK LIKE PEANUTS♥☺
- Bugscope TeamAnnie is not spoiled.
- Studentis there an available job
- Studentthe eggs??
- Studentso when i'm 15 i can get a job?
- Bugscope Teamthey are dry, and the little spideys are gone
- Bugscope TeamChas was a special circumstance
- Bugscope Teamyes Lexie
- StudentGAP
- Studentcool
- StudentHOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR A SPIDER TO HATCH ITS EGGS??
- Bugscope Teamyou can see the web that wrapped up the egg mass
- Teacherplease give control to animals21
- Bugscope Teamthis is a closeup view of the web
- Teacherooops animals 24
- StudentHI NICOL
- Bugscope Teamwhen you see one of those little white balls that spiders leave around -- this is one
- Studentr those bubble gum pices
- Bugscope TeamSpider egg masses are deposited in the fall and they hatch the following spring (usually)
- StudentWHATS THIS???
- Bugscope Teamthat is web, used to make the egg case
- 2:28 pm
- Studentwhat are those circles?
- Studentcan i apply for a job after college
- Bugscope Teamanimals247 is driving
- Studentis it sphagetti and chesse balls
- Studentwhat are those circles!
- Bugscope Teamby the time you get out of college there may be another job here
- StudentIS IT TRUE THAT AFTER A SPIDER HAS ITS BABIES IT DIES
Bugscope TeamWell, not immediately, but soon after, probably, yes.
- Studentthats's a cereal ?
- Student????/
- Bugscope Teamthe circles I think are little balls of web silk
- Bugscope Teamthere are tons of them on the egg surfaces
- Studentcool!!!
- Bugscope TeamMost of the people who work for Bugscope have other responsibilities at the Beckman Institute. Some people help researchers learn to use the microscope, some of us are students and our job is to conduct our own research, some of us are systems administrators. We all come together to do Bugscope, but it is not our full time job.
- StudentTHIS IS COOL BUT WAHT ARE THE STICKS THAT ARE HOLDING THE BUBBLES
- Studentcan ants or spiders breast feed?
Bugscope TeamNope. Only mammals produce milk for their young. There are a few species of flies that do feed their larvae "milk" which is produced from glands on the inside of the female's body. Then the fully grown larvae are actually "born." That is a really special circumstance though (in Tse Tse flies).
- StudentUR FUNNY ROCKET
- Student\
- Bugscope Teamno they can't breastfeed
- Bugscope Teamthey are more likely to eat their babies in many cases
- Studenthahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhaa
- Studentbut y not? dont they have female body parts
- StudentO SO WHY DOES IT LUK LIKE STICKS INSTED OF STRING
- Studenthow much do you get paid
- Studentwhat is this
- Studentthx amor
- Bugscope Teamum yeah there is an anatomical problem as well
