• 1:06 pm
• Bugscope Teampresets are done, we are ready!
• 1:55 pm

• Bugscope Teamhi kate, welcome to bugscope!
• Bugscope Teamwe are ready anytime
• Bugscope Teamthese are all bugs that you sent to us
• 2:01 pm
• Bugscope Teamhi students, welcome to bugscope
• Studentggggggggaaaaannnngggggggssssstttttteeeeerrrrrrrr
• Studentggggggangster
• StudentGGGGANNGGSTAAAAAAA!!!!
• Studenthi
• Studenthi
• Bugscope Teamhi
• Bugscope TeamHi all!
• Bugscope Teamwelcome to bugscope
• StudentHey
• Studentdo you know how bugs move their wings?
  Bugscope TeamYep. They have very powerful muscles inside the thorax.
  Bugscope Teamwell, you can see them move, but if they move too fast, there's also high speed video
• Studentdo they have lungs like us?
• Bugscope TeamRight now we are actually looking at some wings.
• Studentkool!!
• Bugscope TeamThe hooks you see on there are called "hamuli," and they hitch together the forewing and the hindwing so they beat as a single unit.
• Bugscope Teamthis is the edge of a wing, with the hamuli hooks
• Studentthats awsome
• StudentHi
• Bugscope Teammiss renwick, if you zoom out you can see more of the wing
• StudentWAZZZZ UP
• Studentdo insects have hearts and vital organs??
  Bugscope TeamThey do! Most of them are very different from ours, though. For instance, the heart is just a single long tube that runs along the top of the body.
• Studenthi
• Studenthey
• StudentAre all lady bugs ladies???????
  Bugscope TeamNope, you have guy and girl ladybugs.
• Studentis it true that bees die after they sting
• Studentthats wierd
• Bugscope Teaminsects don't have bones like we do though, instead they have an exoskeleton, and that's what holds them together

• Studentdo they have lungs like us?
  Bugscope TeamOoh - good question. No, they breath very differently. They have a series of tubes called "tracheae" - kind of like our blood vessels - but they carry air instead of blood.

• 2:06 pm
• Studentno
• Studentis there anything bad about a dung beetle
  Bugscope TeamDung beetles are actually very useful, they help break down dung! Otherwise things like cow pies would just sit in fields forever.
• Studento that is so cool!!!!!
• Studentya man
• StudentTHen why do they call them Lady Bugs?
  Bugscope TeamMaybe because they are showy and pretty? Who knows. Common names can be weird.
• Studenthi
• StudentDo beetles bite?
• StudentIs the prey mantis the only insect with saw like claws? Why or Why not?
  Bugscope TeamThere are several predatory insects that have saws or ridges on their claws - it helps them hold prey. But mantids are probably the most well known.
• Studentdo they

• Studentwhy did you want to study bugs???
• Studentkyle is sooooo not hot
• Bugscope Teaminsects also don't breath through their mouths, they have holes on the sides of their bodies, called spiracles, and they use the spiracles to breath
• StudentHow can u tell is a spider is a boy or girl?

• Studentwhich insect has ther most legs
• Studentnot not not
• Studentyeah he is
• Studentcan bug go istinct?
  Bugscope Teamoh yes, and they still do
• Studentjk
• Studentnop
• StudentIs it true that a daddy long legs is very venom is posionous
  Bugscope TeamYou know, I hear that a lot. But no, daddy longlegs are completely harmless - they like to eat decaying things. However, there are some spiders that look like daddy longlegs that ARE poisonous.
• Studentwhy does it look so weird????????
  Bugscope Teamthese are live images from an electron microscope, very high magnification, so that might explain the weirdness
• Studentwhos thunder
• Studenteeeeeeeewwwww
• Studentwoqw
• Studentno one
• Studentomg thats so cool
• Studentwil cockroaches outlive humans????
• Studentwhat is your favorite bug?
  Bugscope Teami like mites, they are bugs on bugs
• Studenthow long to wasp's normally live
• StudentHow can you tell the sex of bugs
  Bugscope TeamA lot of the time you can look for an ovipositor - this looks kind of like a stinger that comes out of the back of a female insect.
• Studentwhat is the most smallest bug
• StudentWhat is the biggest bug in the world
• Studentgood ? shasha
• Studentwhy do they call them cockroaches?
• StudentWhat are the names of the several saw like or ridge like claws?
• StudentHow can u tell if a spider is a boy or girl?
  Bugscope Teamit varies from insect to insect, some don't even have different sexes, but we are not sure about spider sex. sorry
• Studentcool
• StudentWhat is the average size of a dung beetle
  Bugscope TeamHard to answer. There are huge dung beetles the size of tennis balls, and tiny ones the size of tic-tacs.
• StudentHow come male bees don't sting????
• Studentwhat is the biggest bug in the world
• StudentHow large can a spider be?
• Student"how many babies can an any have?"
• Studentwhy do they call them cockroaches
• Studentcan insects eat eachother?
  Bugscope Teamoh yeah, praying mantis for example, the female will eat the head of the male
• Studentis there a way to get leaches of skin?
• StudentWhy dont male mosquitos bite?
  Bugscope TeamIt's because female mosquitoes need blood to grow their eggs. Males don't make eggs, so they don't need blood! They usually drink nectar from flowers.

• Student??
• Studenthow come male bees don't sting
• Student???
• Studentwhy do they have claws for mouths?
  Bugscope Teamwell, those are like jaws, they help to scoop food into the mouth
• StudentWhat does lice do to your bod?
• 2:11 pm
• Studenthow is lice harmful
  Bugscope TeamHead lice are just itchy, but there are some lice that can transmit a disease called typhus. These are "body lice," but we don't find them in the US very often.
• Student*What does lice do your body
• StudentCan Fire Ants Kill Humans
  Bugscope Teamyep, enough of them could

• Studenthow many insects a day can die
• Studentwhat is the most dangerous spider in the world??

• Studentwhat is the biggest bug in teh world
  Bugscope TeamThe goliath beetle is the heaviest insect, the atlas moth has the largest wingspan, and a stick insect in Polynesia - I can't remember the name - is the longest - over a foot long!

• Bugscope Teamthis is a hook on a bee limb
• Studentwhat is ur fav insects
• Studentis it true like in the movies that a couple cockroaches can eat a person?
  Bugscope TeamHaha. Well, maybe if the person was dead and there were a lot of cockroaches. Usually they don't go for live things.
• Studentwhat is the most dangerous spider in the world???
• Bugscope Teambee's have hooks on the middle segment of their limbs, which looks odd, but it's true
• StudentAre some ladybugs poisons?
• Studenthow come male bee's don't sting
• Student????
• StudentAre any type of bees poisonous
  Bugscope Teamsome people are allergic to bees, and so in that sense they are very dangerous
• StudentWhat is the name of the several claw like bugs?
• TeacherWhat is the purpose of the hook on the bee?
  Bugscope Teamwell, we are not sure, maybe the hook developed long ago, before the lower parts of the limb developed, so now the hook is just kinda there. zoom out to get a better idea of where the hook is
• Studentwhat is the smallest bug in the world
  Bugscope TeamThe smallest insects I know of are called fairy flies, which grow inside the eggs of other insects. They are so small you usually measure them in MICROmeters.
• StudentIs it true if a Bubble be sting you they will die?
  Bugscope Teamyes, that is true because their stinger will get stuck in your skin, and when they pull out the stinger, their insides are ripped out as well
• Studentwhat id the most dangerous spider in the world
  Bugscope TeamHard to say - I know the hobo spider and the banana spider are supposed to be very, very dangerous. Here in the US you need to watch out for black widows and brown recluses, but that's about it.
• Student??
• Studentare there more male or female bugs in the world?
  Bugscope Teaminteresting question! not sure though, that would be really hard to quntify
• Studenthow big is the biggest bee
• Studentwhat is the most poisonous bug on earth?
  Bugscope TeamHmm. In our part of the world, I've heard that the most painful sting is from a Bullet Ant - it's called that because the sting is supposed to feel like you've been shot. They live in Central and South America.
• Studentwhat is the smallest bug in the world?

• Studentwhat is the most dangerous spider in the world
• StudentHow come male bugs don't sting
  Bugscope TeamIt has to do with the ovipositor, which is a structure that female bugs use to lay eggs. In bees, it has evolved into a stinger - but since only female insects had an ovipositor, then only female insects can sting!
• Studenthow can you tell if a bug is a girl or a boy?
• Studentr ladybugs posinous
  Bugscope TeamNo, but sometimes they might nip you, which feels like a little pinch.
• Bugscope Teamthis is bee stinger, and you can see the ridges on the sides of the stinger

• Bugscope Teamif this bee stung you it would die after, because the stinger would get stuck
• Studentdo u find it interesting looking at bugs?
• Studenty do bugs look wierd???
• Bugscope Teamah, miss renwick, move right from here, then you can see the stinger

• Studentwhat do fleas bite you???
• Bugscope Teamgood job!
• StudentWhat is the first bug in the world
• Studenthow can you tell a girl from a boy insect?
• 2:16 pm
• Bugscope Teamnow this stinger doesn't have those ridges on the side, so this is a stinger from a wasp, which can sting multiple times
• Studenty do bugs look wierd??
  Bugscope TeamI'm sure the bugs wonder the same thing about humans. :)
• StudentWasp Stingers look like hunting knives
  Bugscope Teamtotally, they are sharp and don't have hooks, they can sting multiple times
• Studentwhat is the most posinous bug in the bug kingdom
  Bugscope Teamhmm, probably some kind of spider, but we are not sure
• Studentvery
• Studentwhy do they call them cockroaches
  Bugscope Teami don't know, sorry
• StudentWhy do fleas like animals????
• Studentnice ? miss renwick lol

• Studenthow old??
• Studentwow
• Studentthats young
• Bugscope Teamthis is the head of the wasp
• StudentWhat is the differents between a wasp and a hornet
• StudentHow long do hornets live
• Studenthow old is rob??
  Bugscope TeamRob is 25. :)
• Bugscope Teamthe antenna is sticking out of the top of the head as well

• Studentvery young lol
• Studentwhy do insects have hairs???
• StudentWhy did u want to study bugs???
  Bugscope Team'Cause they're awesome!
• Bugscope Teamnotice all the bumps on the compound eye. those bumps are called ommatidia, each one has a lens in it
• Studentwhy do bugs eyes like a million eyes?
• Studenthow many little eyes do flies have>
• Studentcool
• Bugscope Teamcompound eyes are often found on flying insects, they have GREAT vision
• StudentWhat is the first bug in the world
• Bugscope Teamthe compound eye is made up of hundreds of individual facets, called ommatidia
• Studenthow many little eyes does a fly have?
• Studentcool
• StudentWhy do you think people don't like bugs?
• StudentWhat do horse flies do ???
• Bugscope Teamthe compound eye is often curved, so that each lens in the ommatidium can see in a different direction

• Studentwhy do bugs have like a million eyes in one eye(if you no what im saying)
  Bugscope TeamIt's because of all the tiny lenses that make up the eye. Even so, to have vision as good as a human they would need to have compound eyes almost a meter across.
• Studentdo you guys make youtube vidoes
• Studentwhy does it look like it has eyes inside of eyes
  Bugscope Teamtotally! those are the individual ommatidium, each one has a lens in it
• Bugscope Teamthis is a claw on a moth
• Studentwhy does it look feathery
• Studentare any bugs blind?
  Bugscope Teamwell, yes, some insects don't have eyes, like some ants don't. but then they'll have great ability to smell things, and they use their smell to find their way around
• Studentwhat is the smallest bug in the world?
• StudentWhat can a tick do to u?
• Studentwhy do bugs have layers
• StudentAre any Moths poisonous
  Bugscope TeamNo, moths in the Americas are completely harmless, although they can give you allergies.
• Studentwhat bug do you fear the most of all the bugs
• StudentWhy do spiders eat their babies???
  Bugscope Teamfood
• Studenthow many eyres do bugs have????
  Bugscope Teamwell, this moth has two. some spiders have many more
• Studentawesome

• 2:21 pm
• StudentWhat is the first bug in the world
• Studenthow many eyes do bugs have??
  Bugscope TeamMost bugs will have two big compound eyes, but some will have 3 or more "extra" eyes called occelli, which are on the top of the head. You might be able to see them if we have an insect head as one of our samples.
• Bugscope TeamBut there are some moths in Asia that suck blood! Pretty weird.
• Studentwhat is the largest bug in south america
• Studentno like flies how many they have???
  Bugscope Teamfly's usually have just two compound eyes
• StudentWhat can a tick do to u?
  Bugscope Teamit can feed off you
• Bugscope Teamthe largest proboscis in the world is the elephant trunk
• StudentRob- what are all the bugs that can kill you
  Bugscope TeamHeh. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any that will actually kill you, except the ones that give you disease (like mosquitoes, ticks, etc.)
• Studentdo butterflies have alot of little eyes like flies>?
• Studenthow many in the inside though
• Studentwhy do fleas like animals?
• StudentWhy did Scientists do Radiation tests on cockroaches in the 1970's]
  Bugscope Teamyou tell us?
• Bugscope Teamsomeone asked about hairs on bugs. YES, insects have lots of hairs, but they aren't hairs really. they are called setae (see-tee)
• Studentonce you accidently step on an ant where does the other ants take the injured 1
  Bugscope TeamAnts actually keep a little pile of dead bodies near the nest, to keep them from contaminating the colony. Injured ants don't get any medical care and probably end up there after they die.
• Studentur the scientist
• Studentwhat was the first bug to be in water
• Teacherhow does the size of the moth's proboscis compare to the elephants relative to their body size?
  Bugscope Teamhmm, great question, i'm not sure though, sorry. my guess would be that the elephant truck is much larger, proportionately i mean
  Bugscope TeamLike a lot of questions, the real answer is "it depends." Some moths have pretty short probosces, other ones have enormously long ones - much longer than the body. In this case, it would indeed be longer than the elephant, relative to body size.
• StudentI thought when it was in side of u it could blow up and you'd have to get surgery to get it out, so is that true?
• StudentWhy do spiders have 2 body sections
• StudentWhat is the smallest bug in the world
• Studentwhat was the first bug to be in the water
• StudentWhat is the smartest bug in the world
• StudentHey bubles is' fairy fly
• StudentRob- why are bugs so mean to us
  Bugscope Teamthey aren't, they are just trying to survive. we are the most mean species on the planet, although that is a matter of opinion :)

• Studentwhy do moths look like they have feathers?
  Bugscope Teamthose feathers are scales
• Studentwhy does the spider look scaley
• StudentI thought when it was in side of u it could blow up and u'd have to get surgery to get it out, is that true
• Studenthow long do u have to study to be a scientist
  Bugscope Teamwell, anywhere from 4-10 years, or more even
• Studentwhat kind or spider is displaying on the screen right now
  Bugscope Teamthis is the spider that you sent to us!
• Studentis a tapeworm a bug???
  Bugscope TeamNope, it's a flatworm.
• Bugscope Teammoths have lots of scales on them, they can help the moth escape from a spider web, for example
• Studentdid swine flew come form bugs
• Studenthow much lice can possibly be on the human head
• StudentCan tapeworms live inside insects
• 2:26 pm
• StudentROb- why do bugs have to survive on us
  Bugscope TeamMost bugs don't survive on humans, actually. But being a parasite is a pretty nice life, right? You just sit there and get food all the time, never have to do anything. Very "adaptive," as we say in the biz.
• StudentWhen mosquito's bite you, why do they get big and itchy??
• Studentoh
• Studentwhy do spiders have hairs on them?
  Bugscope TeamALL insects have hairs on them. those hairs are called setae (see-tee), it is how bugs feel things
• Studentoh
• Studentic
• Studentohh!!
• StudentIs it true that lice only live on clean hair?
  Bugscope TeamNo, they'll live anywhere that they can get food. Dirty and clean hair is all the same to them.
• Studentwats a flat worm??
• Studentcould u puke out a tapeworm
  Bugscope TeamHmm. Probably not. The tapeworm head is covered in hooks that attach to your intestine, so it is very well attached.
• StudentDo lice like clean or dirty hair? Why?

• Studenthow do tapeworms get inside of you
• Studentwhat kind of bug makes you want to puke
  Bugscope TeamEating undercooked meat that has their eggs.
• Studentugly 1s
• Studentthats is gross.... and cool

• Studenthow long would it take the venom of a blackwidow spider to kill you
• Bugscope Teamyep, gross, but cool, right on!

• Studentdid the swine flew come from bugs
  Bugscope Teami'm not sure.

• StudentRob- why do bugs have to survive on us
• Studentwats swine flu??
• Studentr mageats inside of u?

• Studenthow long can a tapeworm grow
• Studentif a bee's stinger gets stuck in skin will it continue to sting
  Bugscope TeamIt sure will. If you get stung, you can actually see the poison gland still pumping as it's stuck in your skin.
• Studentswine flu is a disease
• Studentwho discovered the first bug and what year?
  Bugscope Teambugs were around much early than humans were.
• Studentalong time ago

• StudentI thought when a tick was in side of u it could blow up and u'd have to get surgery to get it out, is that right?
  Bugscope TeamI don't know about that. Ticks don't really get inside of you, they just put their heads in.
• Studentwhat is that
  Bugscope Teamthis is the head of a leafhopper

• StudentRob- have you ever got bitten by a bug you got so sick

• Studentwhy is the eye so small
• StudentWhy are prey mantis's so quick
  Bugscope TeamThey have to be quick to catch their prey!

• Studentoh ididnt know that mouse

• Studentwhat year did the first bug step on land
  Bugscope TeamI can't give you an exact year... but the earliest insect we know of is from the Devonian, which was the same time that fish evolved - about 400 million years ago.
• StudentHow long can a tapeworm grow?
• Studentwats that!!
• StudentWhy are the lady bugs so pretty, but so ruthless?
• Studenthow can a praying mantis move so quick without falling over?
• StudentO
• Bugscope Teamthis is a leadhopper
• StudentRob- How old were u since you started working
  Bugscope TeamWell, I'm in my fifth year of graduate school. I'm a PhD student.
• Studentr mageats inside of us right now?
• Studenthow do you get ticks of your body
• 2:31 pm
• Studenthave you ever had a tick on you?
  Bugscope Teami think most people have, yes
• Teachercan we turn the controls of the microscope over to a student?
  Bugscope Teamtotally
• Studentme
• Studentme
• Studentme\
• Bugscope Teamjust tell us who you want to control.
• StudentOh! Can't you take a lighter and
• Studentdang
• Studentit off
• Studentryley
• Studentme
• Studentpick me
• StudentWhere can you get ticks\
• Teachercan you give the control to riboflavin?
• Studentryley gets the control
• Studentthats cool
• Bugscope Teamribo, you have control!
• StudentWhy doesn't everyone respect bugs?
  Bugscope TeamI know, right? Probably because they feel funny, they bite, and they get all over our food.

• Studentur lucky riboflavin
• Bugscope Teamjust remember, when using "click to drive", click to start moving, then click again to stop
• Studenthow can a praying mantis move so fast without falling over?
• Studenthow big can a dragon fly get
  Bugscope TeamI saw one just last week that was about 5 inches from wingtip to wingtip. Ancient dragonflies could grow as wide as a foot.
• Studentr mageats inside of us
  Bugscope Teami don't think so
• Bugscope Teamthis is a $600,000 electron microscope you are controlling ribo
• Studentwhat's the difference between a flatworm and an insect
  Bugscope TeamThey're very different, but the most obvious differences would probably be that flatworms have no legs. :)
• Studentwhat would happen if a tick ate some of your insides?
• Studenthow did fire ants get their name and what does it feel like when they bite you
  Bugscope TeamWhat I heard was that their name comes from how they run out of their nest when you damage it - either because it's like there is a fire, or they move as quick as a fire. The sting is not too bad on me - a little itchy - but some people can be very allergic.
• StudentWhy do fleas like animals????
  Bugscope Teamit's food to them

• Studentdo all bugs have a sense of smell?\
• StudentRob- ask us questions to see if we can get them right

• Studentno presser riboflavin\
• Studentwhy does this microscope cost so much???
  Bugscope Teambecause it uses electrons to get the image, not light
• StudentWhy do they call it the Hercules Beatle?
• Bugscope Teamall organisms on this planet have a common goal: to survive by eating food
• StudentHow many types of ants are there in the world
  Bugscope Teamthere are about 14,000 different species of ants in the world today
  Bugscope TeamScientists seem to have this thing about naming large bugs after strong mythical creatures. Atlas moth, goliath beetle, hercules beetle - it's pretty common.
• Studentwhy do ticks like animals?
  Bugscope Teamfor food

• Studentoh

• Bugscope Teamfood

• Studenthow do bugs feet stick to walls?
• StudentWhat is your favorite bug alex? Why?
  Bugscope Teami like ticks, because they are bugs that bug other bugs!

• Studentud be like spiderman if u could

• Studentwhy do bugs buzzzzzzz?
  Bugscope TeamIt's the sound of the wings beating! Some insects like mosquitoes actually find their mates by listening to the right buzzing sound.
• 2:37 pm
• Teachercan you pass the controls to bigshooter please?
• Bugscope Teami mean mites, not ticks!
• StudentW
• Studentwhat kind of bugs glide on the top of water?
• Bugscope Teambigshooter, you are driving, everyone put on their seat-belts!
• Studentcan tics live on animals
• StudentRob- do tics stay in your body
  Bugscope TeamTicks will drop off once they've had enough to eat.
• Studentahhh were goin to crash
• StudentWhat is your favorite bug Rob? Why?
  Bugscope TeamI really like mantisflies - they look like a praying mantis with fly wings on the back!

• Bugscope Teamah cool, this is a salt crystal, from Wendy's fast food place

• StudentWat is that
• Bugscope Teamthis is a salt crystal
• Studentalex r u male or female
• Studentlol
• StudentWhat would happpen if a tick ate your insides?
  Bugscope TeamWell, a tick will never eat your insides - but even if it did, probably not much. A single tick is too small to do much damage.
  Bugscope Teamif anything ate your insides, you would die
• StudentWhat is the most dangerous bug in the world
• Bugscope TeamWendy's puts some type of additive in their salt, that makes it hollow like that, a normal salt crystal doesn't quite look like this one does
• Studentcan beatles be posinous or dangerous

• Studentrob- how many years have you been working as a bug scientist
  Bugscope TeamI started as an undergraduate, so about seven years now.
• Student /,k'l'';'kl'
• Studenti dont like Wendy's

• Teachercan you pass the controls over to h2o
• StudentDoes anyone what to know who i am?
• Studentwhat color are ticks?
  Bugscope TeamI've seen brown, gray, and reddish ticks. They never seem to be very colorful.
• Studentalex,rob do u like wendy's????

• Studenti do i know who booboo is hahaha
• Bugscope TeamH2O has controls now!
• Bugscope Teamthese are brochosomes

• StudentCan a lady bug eat dead animals? Why or Why not?
• Studentdont tell people jodi
• Bugscope Teami'm going to focus for you
• Bugscope Teamah, we are too close to the sample, can't focus at this length
• Studentdo you enjoy taking time off and answering our questions?
  Bugscope TeamAbsolutely! This is a lot of fun.
• Studentare bees only yellow and black?
  Bugscope TeamNo, they come in several colors. The yellow and black is common, though, because animals like birds will recognize it as a warning sign: "Danger! I sting!"
• StudentRob- ask me a Questions if you can?
• 2:42 pm
• StudentWhy do red ants bite and not black???
• Studentwhy are some lady bugs yellow?
• Studenthi

• StudentWhat is the color of lice?
• Student-)

• Studenthow long does lice stay on your head
  Bugscope TeamThey will stay for their entire life - they can't get food without you.
• Bugscope Teamptchoq, you've got control!
• StudentHow long has bugs been in our world?
  Bugscope Teamlong before humans were around

• Studenthow long will it take for a black widdows venom to kill u

• StudentWhat is the color of lice
  Bugscope TeamUsually a grayish color.
• Bugscope Teami wonder why all these questions about lice? hmmm....
• StudentWhy do red ants bite and not black and ants
  Bugscope TeamI've seen some black ants that will bite. It depends on the species, I suppose. Maybe your black ants are just nice.

• Studentthats gross

• Bugscope Teamah, here's the wasp stinger, just above
• StudentWhat's the
• Studenthi
• Teachercan you passs the contols to booboo

• Studentthen mouse!!
• Bugscope Teambooboo, you've got control, look out!
• Studentnaomi is booboo
• StudentWhat is the most dangerous bug and why?
  Bugscope TeamMosquitoes, I would say. It's because of the diseases they transmit - West Nile, dengue, malaria - the list goes on and on.
• Bugscope Teamif you get lot, click on a preset
• Studentwe know
• Studentomg naomi is controling
• Studentjk
• Bugscope Teamk
• Studenthow long does it take for black widdows venom to kill u or does it
• Studenthow long does it take for black widdows venom to kill u or does it
  Bugscope Teampretty fast
• Studentnoo then thunder
• Studenthow long does it take for black widdows venom to kill u or does it
  Bugscope Team Most people won't die from a black widow bite, though. It's just really painful and gross.
• StudentHow big is the biggest beatle
• Studentok
• Studentcan u have an imune system to black widows???
  Bugscope Teami think some people are immune, yes. other insects can also be immune
• 2:47 pm
• Studentdo insects have babies on their own?
  Bugscope TeamYep, most of them lay eggs, but some will give birth to live "baby" insects.
• Studenthow do i control this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Studentdoes bees skin look yellow and black or is it the hairs
  Bugscope Teaminsects don't have skin they have a darkish colored exoskeleton
• Teachercan you pass the controls to mouse?
• Studentthanx
• Studentif you got posion in ur body from a bug could you get it out?
  Bugscope TeamYou might be able to treat it like a snake bite, but I've never tried.
• StudentAlex, what is the name of a beatle that uses it's sticky feet to stick themselves to leaves?
  Bugscope Teamhmm, i'm not sure, sorry bubbles
  Bugscope TeamAll beetles have sticky feet, as far as I know. It's how they can do things like walk on glass.
• Bugscope Teammouse, drive us around, and look out for any cats
• Student]
• Bugscope Teammouse, try clicking on a preset
• Studentdo all sopiders bite?
  Bugscope TeamAll spiders have venom - but not all spiders are capable of biting you. Sometimes their fangs are too small and your skin is too thick.
• Bugscope Teamyay!
• StudentAlex ask rob thatquestion maybe he knows the answer
  Bugscope Teamrob, do you know of a beetle that has sticky feet?

• Studentare you hiper Alex?
  Bugscope Teamno, i'm pretty laid back
• Studentwehat do spider bites look like
  Bugscope TeamCommonly a red spot with two little holes from the fangs.
• Student kyle is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooootttttttttttt hot
• Bugscope Teamthis is a col looking claw, huh?
• Studentok alex i was just wondering
  Bugscope Teamokie dokie
• Studentis there a bug that will eat a mosquito????
  Bugscope Teamoh yes, totally, wouldn't it be cool if they ate them all?
  Bugscope TeamI've seen dragonflies take them down before. And mosquito larvae are eaten by almost everything that lives in a pond.
• Studentthat is cool
• Studenthello
• StudentThanks Rob
• Bugscope TeamNo problem.
• Studentwhat is the largest kind of bug
• StudentYA!!
• Studenthow many different bugs are there?
  Bugscope TeamMillions. We keep finding hundreds of new ones every year!
• Studentcan a whole bunch of mosquitos drink all of an animals blood?
  Bugscope TeamNot usually. We call it "exsanguination" when it happens, and I heard that it did happen to some cows many years ago during a huge mosquito emergence.
• StudentWhy can't cockroaches die from radiation tests
  Bugscope Teami think they do die from enough radiation

• 2:52 pm
• Studentis that true that female mosquitos only bite people
