- Bugscope TeamYeah early sorry I did not see you earlier.
- Bugscope TeamCate and I are setting up.
- Bugscope TeamAnnie! What is this?
- Bugscope Teamthis is a mantsfly
- Bugscope TeamMantispidae
- 2:02 pm
- Bugscope TeamAwesome. Thanks. Doc.
- Bugscope Teampretty awesome, isn't it?
- TeacherHI Guys, we are back
- TeacherSorry we are a little late
- Bugscope TeamWe are fine -- we are still setting up.
- Bugscope Teamlook at the bacteria!
- Studenthi!!!!
- Studentwhat is this
- Bugscope TeamHi Te Amo!
- Studentwow thats crazy
- Bugscope Teamthis is the eye of a leafhopper
- Studentwhatup
- Studenthi!!!!
- 2:07 pm
- Studenthey
- Student:( i cant se
- Studentthats crazy
- StudentHi!!
- Studenthi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Studentsup
- StudentHeyyy
- Studenthey
- Studentnm manu?
- Studentwhat is this

- Studentwhat kingdom is this bug in
Bugscope TeamThe kingdom Animalia
- Studentwhat animal is this
- StudentHEYYYYY
- Student///
- Student???
- Studenthola\
- Studentsup
- StudentWow this is so cool
- Studentsup hana montana
- Studenthihihihihihihihihihihihihi
- StudentWhat about the phylum?
Bugscope TeamArthropoda
- Studenthi jeff
- Studentthats cool
- Studentwow
- Studentwhat is this bug
- Studentthis is awesome!!!
- Studentwhat is that
- Studenthi there
- StudentWhat is the gray thing?
- StudentWow it looks weird
- Studentgrrrrrr this is making me mad:/
- StudentWhat kind of bug is this?
- StudentWhere is this animal found
- Studentwhat bug is this??
- Studentwhat are looking at specificly?
- Bugscope TeamYou guys we are still working on the presets for your session.
- StudentWhat is the phylum
- Studentmmmm it looks tasty
- Studentomg!!!!!!
- StudentWhatis the Genus and species
Bugscope TeamI am not sure if we are going to get to the genus and species level of this insect...there are probably only a handful of scientists in the world who could ID this insect to genus and species
- StudentWhat part of the bug is this?
- Studentwhat does this animal do
- StudentHi people
- StudentOMGEEEEEE!!!!
- Studentdoes this bug have little hairs on it's legs? why?
- Studentwhat presents?
- Studenthi ARIC!!!'
- Studentwhat is this
- Studentwhat is an electron microscope
- Studentwhat do you do
- Bugscope TeamAnnie it is Cicadellidae isn't it?
Bugscope TeamI think so
Bugscope TeamIt has a weird face
- Studentwhat is the main part of your job?
- Studenthow is an electonic microscope work?
- Studenthay te amo
- Studentwhat is a cicadellidae?
Bugscope TeamCicadellids are leafhoppers
- Studentwhat type of animal is tat?
- Studentthis is a praying mantis right?
- Studentholoy jenkers that looks cool whats it genus
- Student*that
- Studentlooks like a bees nest
- StudentWhat type of bug is this?
- StudentIs this bug alive?
- Studentwhos! bob!!??
- Studentwhat is this part of the bug?
- Studentwhat is this insect's scientific name??
Bugscope TeamThis is an insect in the order Homoptera, in the family Cicadellidae. That is about as good as we can get with the ID. There are very few people, mostly leafhopper experts, that could identify the genus and species
- Bugscope TeamTe Amo hit Refresh on your browser -- the little thing that looks like an circle-arrow
- Studentwhat is the genus?
- Studentwow
- Studentshoes
- Studentwhat is in the background
- Studentit looks like a bug
- Studentis a leafhopper big
- Studenthiiiiiiii
- StudentWhat is the Cardada thiny?
- Studentit is a bug
- TeacherAre you guys still setting up?
- Studentwhat is this thing called
- Studentwhat is that
- Studenthaha... whats that
- Studentwhat part of the leaf hopper is that?
- TeacherI can't seem to control the scope
- Studenthow many antena does it have they look tasty
- StudentWhat Biome can they be found in?
- Studentyo scotj what is a cicadellidae
- Studentwhats a leaf hopper
Bugscope TeamThis is a leafhoppe!
- Studentfigure ti out
- Studentdose this have eyes
- Bugscope Teamokay I just unlocked control Mrs N
- Bugscope Teamare they there now?
- Studentwhat kingdom is it in?
Bugscope TeamCheck out the answer to this question on the lower left corner of your screen
- Studentwhat is a Cicadellidae??
- Studentdoes this thingy haves eyes????????????
- Bugscope Teamthe eyes are streamlined into the side of the head
- Studenthow do you know if its a male or a female??????
- Bugscope Teamleafhooper
- Studentthi kim
- Studentwhat does streamlined mean?
Bugscope TeamIt means that it has a smooth profile and doesn't have a lot of pieces sticking out.
- Bugscope Teamwe can see the eyes -- they're smooth, on the sides below the antennae
- Studentwhat is an electron microscope annie?
- 2:12 pm
- Studentwhere does it live?
- Studentwhere can i be found
- Studentya i could imagine that
- Studentwhat does the leafhopper do?
Bugscope TeamIt sucks plant juices and can transmit plant diseases
- Bugscope Teamthis is a bug, and I think it is a true bug
- Studentwhere can they be found?
- Studentit looks like a dust mite
- Studenthey hey
- Studentso any body gonna
- Bugscope Teamthey live in bushes
- Studentwhat does the animal eat?
Bugscope TeamPlant sap
- Bugscope Teamamong other places
- Studentdon't eatit that is discusting
- Studento ok
- Studentya
- Studentwhat does it eat?
- Studentdoes it have hairs are they pointy or soft
- Student?
- Studentwhat other animals are thier
- Studenthow big is this? like a cm long??
- Studentwhat kingdom is it in?
- Studentwhat is this
- Studentahh
- Studentthis is a fruit fly??? ewwwwwww
- Studentcool eyes
- Studentthats ugly
- Bugscope Teamokay this is cool
- Studentdo they eat fruit?
Bugscope TeamThey actually eat yeast that lives on rotting fruit
- Studentit is
- Studentwhat eats this fruit fly?
Bugscope Teamfruit flies are pretty low on the food chain. Pretty much anything bigger than it will eat it, even us if we accidentally swallow it!
Bugscope Teamreally anything that can catch it, like a bat or a bird or a dragonfly, or a toad
- Studentcool bug!!
- Bugscope Teamyes Te Amo
- StudentWhat are the bumpy things at the top?
- Studentomg
- Studentoh wow it looks like his eyes have hair on them! so they??
- Studentdo fruit flys eat fruit???
- Studenthow many pairs oif legs does this friut fly have?
Bugscope Teamthree pairs of legs
- Studenthow big does a fruit fly get?
- Studentcool
- Studentwhy is it called a fruit fly??
Bugscope TeamThey buzz around rotten fruit
- StudentWhat do they eat?
Bugscope Teamthey eat the enzymes made by rotting fruit.
- Studentwhat the
- Studentdo fruit flys eat.....fruit???cuz it would kinda seem like it
Bugscope Teamthey eat yeast that lives on rotten fruit
- StudentDo flies have an exoskeleton?
Bugscope TeamYes, all arthropods have an exoskeleton
- StudentDoes a fly grow legs in its head and are they adventagous
- Studentwhat does a fruit fly eat?
- Studentwhy is it called a fruit fly? Does it eat fruit?
Bugscope Teamthey are called that because you will often find them flying around your ripe fruit
- Studentare the eyes bigger than its brain
- Studenthow long is the bug in cm?
- Studentwhy is it attacted to fruit?
Bugscope TeamThe same reason as you are attracted to pizza, because it smells yummy to them.
- Studentno in feet?
- Studentwhat do the hairs do
- Studentahh
- Studentwhy do they call it a fruit fly if they dont eat fruit?
- Studenthow long is it in feet?
- Studentoh i got the answer
- Bugscope Teamit's a fruit fly because they are found around fruit, but as Annie says they feed on yeast that grows on fruti
- Bugscope Teamfruit
- StudentWhat is the niche for the fruit fly?
Bugscope TeamI guess they are decomposers
- Studentoh. how sharp are his fangs?? can they hurt you??
Bugscope Teamit doesn't really have fangs; it has tiny sucking mouthparts, can't hurt you
- Studentwhy do they call it a fruit fly?
- StudentWhat are those neddles used for
- TeacherShay 12 would like to drive the microscopes for awhile please
Bugscope Teamshay has control
- StudentWhy do they have hair all over their arms?
- Studentwhy does it need fangs
- Studentcan the fangs be poisonous?
- Studenthow does it eat
Bugscope Teamit spits up on its food, which makes it liquify, then it sponges it all up
- StudentWhat are the pointy stinger like things? are they to grab food?
Bugscope Teamall those pointy things are not stingers, but are hairs!
- Studentwhat is it's nich?
Bugscope Teamthey are decomposers, or saprophytes--they feed on fungus
- Studentwhat is that?
- Studentamazing
- Studentghjjkfhrdhdigh:IOW
- Studentwhos in control
- StudentWhat is its role?
- Studentshaiana is in control
- Studentthat looks rreeeeeeaallllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy wierdd!
- Studentwhat ecosystem do fruit flys live in?????????????????????????????????????
Bugscope TeamThey live anywhere there is rotten fruit and vegetation...so almost all ecosystems...even in the desert!
- Studentwasssssup?????
- 2:17 pm
- Studentwhy are the eyes so big
- Studentthis is a little creepy
- Studentwow
- StudentWhat are those neddle things used for?
- StudentCan i drive the microscope?
- Studentso it would be really bad if they went extinct
Bugscope TeamThere are many different species of fruit fly and there are other decomposers, but I think that it is bad when any species becomes extinct
- Studentif they feed on fungus then y is it called a fruit fly
Bugscope TeamBecause they buzz around rotten fruit
- StudentThis is really cool!!!
- Studentno you can
- StudentWhat are the bumps on the eyes
Bugscope Teamthose are all the individual facets, called ommatidia, of the compound eye.
- StudentWhy are some of the hairs longer then others?
- Student im kufik,
- Student]
- StudentWOW!!!
- Studenti think its used to eat
- Student mn
- Studentdo they have antenne or whatever
Bugscope TeamAll insects have antennae
- Studentwhat is this?
- Studentno can II do the micro scope arfter shayna?
- Studentso it would be really bad if they went extinct?
- Studentwhat is a tarsil??
Bugscope Teamyou can relate it to our hands
- StudentIs that it butt
- Bugscope Teamthe hair, or setae or microsetae or trichae or microtrichae help the fruit fly sense things around them and also probably provide a little more surface area for lift in the air
- Studentwhat is this picture of?
- Studentwhat is that?
- Studentso they don't actually EAT the fruit
Bugscope Teamright, they eat the yeast that is breaking down the fruit
- Studentidk
- Studentwow
- Studentcan they live in our house?????
Bugscope TeamAbsolutely
- Studentwhat are the spikey thinggsss?
- StudentWOW!!1
- Studentwhat is that?
- Studentclawas
- Studentwhat are the bumps
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentwwhat are the claws coming out of it
- StudentWhat is the tarsal for
- Studenthow powerful is this micro scope? how big is it?
- Studentoh ok
- Studentare those pokey things hair?
- StudentI looks like a weapon
- Studentwhat are the spikes for?
- StudentWhat are those sharp things?
Bugscope Teamthose are all hairs. You'll find that insects are a lot hairier than they seem! That's because since they have a hard exoskeleton, it is hard for them to feel things, not like how we can feel things with our skin. So they have lots of hairs that are attached to nerves found underneath the exoskeleton that will give them the sense of whats around them
- Studentmrs.nielson can i control the microscope?
- Studentwhat would happen if they went extinct? do you think that could happen?
- Studentit looks like a comb mrs n just giving an observation
- Studenthow many bones do they have?
Bugscope TeamNo bones!
- StudentWhat are those neddle things used for?
- Studentanything could happen sammisam
- StudentHow do thet affect the food chain?
Bugscope TeamThe feed on yeast, and they are eaten by spiders and other small arthropod predators
- Studentwhat is that
- Studenthow do they eat?>
- Bugscope Teamthe pokey things are tiny bristles that help the fruit fly sense things it might be touching
- Studenthow big can they get?
- TeacherYo24 would like to have control of the microscope for awhile please
- Studentso do they eat fungus or fruit more????
- StudentThis question is for Annie. Why do they have the spikes. is it for protection?
Bugscope TeamThe spikes are called setae. They serve many functions. Some setate sense smell or taste, some setae sense touch. Some setae are spiky for protection or to help them do something, like dig.
- Studentwhat is this picture of on here
- Studentwere does it live
- Studentoh thanks
- Studentdoes it just eat fruit?
- Studentwould they eat plain fruit in our house without the yeast?
Bugscope TeamThey generally prefer rotting fruit
- Studenthow big can they get?
- Studenthow big can they get?
- Studenthow big can they get?
- Studenthow big can they get?
- Student are the torns hard
- Studentwhere is this located on the fly?
Bugscope Teamthis is the end of one of the arms
- Studentewwwww that is sooo gross they have no bones!!
- Studentwhat are torns?
- Studenthow big can they get?
- Studenthow do they move
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentwhat are we looking at??
Bugscope Teamthis is a spider
- Studentthat looks like my brother
- Studenthave they had any genetic mutations?
- Studentdoes this strucure grab things
- Studentcan they become extinct? what would happen
- Student what is this?
- Studentoo is that a spider?
- StudentIs that a spider??
- Studentis that the spiders fangs?
- Studentwhat is that?
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentthat looks like austin
- StudentWhat is the phylum of the spider?
- Bugscope Teamnow we are looking at the tongue of a bumblebee
- Studentlooks like grapes
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentis that a tongue? why does it look like that??
- TeacherCan Yo24 have controls of the scope for while
Bugscope Teamyo24 has control!
- Studentwhat is this bugsa scientific name!
Bugscope TeamThis is a bumblebee probably in the genus Bombus. Probably Bombus impatiens if it was collected in Illinois
- StudentDo they have any spical defences?
- Studentomg that is so cool!!!!!!!
- Bugscope Teamthis, now, is the tongue, or glossa, of a bumblebee, as Cate said
- Studentwow! how do you know all this!?!? i feel stupid
- StudentWhat are those long hairy like structures?
- Studentthat looks like austin
- Studentwhat is the predator of this??????
- 2:22 pm
- Studentwhat is on the tip of the tonge
- Studentthis is so confusingg!
- Studentwhy does it look like that
- Studentwhy is the touge hairy
Bugscope Teamthe tongue is hairy so it can collect pollen
- Bugscope Teamoften bees have some form of bomba in their name, it seems
- Studentthat looks like austin
- Studentcan i try
- Studenthow does it have a ball on the end of the touge
- Studentif this is a bee does the end of the tongue help get pollen?
- Studentwhats all this stuff on the tonuge?????
- StudentWhat are the tiny bristles on the tounge
- Studentwhat is that?
- Studentew
- Studentwow i wish i knew this much about insects!!
- Studentdo they eat anything else? like besiddes polun
Bugscope TeamThey eat pollen and nectar
- Studentwhy is that? hairy?>
- Studenti meant pollen
- Studentwhat is bomba in their name?
- Studentis that a antena
- StudentIf the tounge is so hairy wont it pick up other things besides pollen?
Bugscope TeamBumblebees don't usually put their mouths on anything they don't want to eat
- Studentprobley not
- Studentmrs.neilson can i control the scope
- Studenthi johnny test
- Studentwhat is this?
- Bugscope Teamthere is a bird called a bee eater, and there are other birds that like to eat bees, plus dragonflies like them
- Studentspiky
- Bugscope Teamthis is the fruit fly compound eye
- StudentWhays that???
- Studentthis is cool
- Studenthope?
- Studentwhat animal is this
- Studentwhat is this??!!1
- Bugscope Teamit has lots of spikes which are all hairs, or setae
- StudentWhat are the spikes for?
- Studentwhats that?
- Studentcan i control it
- TeacherCan Hopey have controls for awhile please?
Bugscope Teamhopey has control now
- Bugscope Teamor I should say we can go to over 600,000x but 200,000x is about the max for good images
- Studentwow jnthats alot
- Studentwhos yo24
- Studentis that hair or like something else????? cuz it looks icky:P
Bugscope Teamthose are hairs, they are used to sense wind movement
- Studentwhat is the circles with hairs
- Studentis that the max for an electron microscope
- StudentWhat are the pointy thingas
- Studenthow many hairs does it have
- Studentwhat are the bubble-type things beneath the hair?
- Studenthow many eyes to the fruit flys have????
Bugscope Teamtoo many to count! The eyes take up almost the entire area of the head
- StudentWhat is this part of the bug? What is this bug?????
- StudentDo bees posion kill there eaters
- Bugscope Teamnow you can see the bumpy things, which are the ommatidia
- Studenthow big is the eye of a fly?
- Studentwhat are some of their adaptations?? like y r their eyes like that?
- Studentwhat part of the body is tyhis?
- Studentwhat is the predator of this fly?
- Studentwait; this is a bee?????
Bugscope Teamthis is a fruit fly now
- StudentAre fruit flies poisionius?
Bugscope TeamNo
Bugscope Teamno they're not poisonous
- Studentwhat bug is this?
- Studenti thought we were looking at fruit flys?
- Studentwhat is the spiders loong name??? lol
- Studentdo the eyes have any protection like how on frogs they have the nicotine membrane for seeing underwater
Bugscope TeamThe little setae protect the eye from dirt
- Studentdo you learn new things about these insects from these bug scopes?? i'm learning a lot!
Bugscope TeamI did an entire chapter in my dissertation using the microscope. So, yes, we learn all sorts of new things about insects using the SEM
- Studentis that skin
Bugscope Teamit's not skin -- it is a chitinous exoskeleton, made of material like our fingernails
- Studentwhat is the diffrence between a bumble bee and honey bees
Bugscope Teamhoneybees have barbed stingers that once they sting something they die, because the stinger stays in the victim
- 2:27 pm
- Studentchange the pic
- Studentis this a window?
- Studentwhat is this
- Studentthis is a baby cricket head
- Studentwhat is this?
- Studentyesaah
- StudentWhat is that
- Studentaq brain?
- Studentwhat is that??///
- Student*yeah\
- StudentDoes it have a brain?
- StudentWhat are those long things?
- Studentit looks ded
Bugscope Teamyeah hana it is dead, sorry
- Studento its a babay cricket head
- Studenttat coo
- Studentis that a tube
- Studentis that a noose
- Studentis it just the head?????????????????????????????????????????
- StudentWhat are the predators of fruit flies
Bugscope TeamSpiders, other predaceous insects like praying mantises
- Studentnose*
- Studenthow do crickets reproduce?
- Studentthat looks like dzc
- Studentdo bumbelbee's have soft skin
- Studentwoahhh\
- StudentIS it true that when a bee stings you their stinger comes out and they die?
Bugscope Teamsome bees when they sting you, yes that is true
- Studentwhat is the difference between a fruit fly and a fly?
Bugscope TeamAll fruit flies and flies, but not all flies are fruit flies. Fruit flies are in the family Drosophilidae.
- StudentWhat do fruit flies eat?
- Studentthat looks like dzc
- Studentwhat is that cate3
Bugscope Teamwe are looking at a small cricket
- Student what is that
- Student:P you guys are mean to me:(
- Studentdoes it have worts
- Studentwhat part of the body is this?
- Studentwhat is the class
- StudentWhat are those vain like things
- Studentwhat is the phylum?
- Studentwhere do u live
- Studentahh
- Studentwhat are those little creviises?
- Studentcan i control the scope?
- StudentWhat ecosystem can you find them in
- Studentcan grass hoppers kill you???
Bugscope TeamNot under any normal circumstances
- Bugscope Teamso a honeybee has a barbed stinger and leaves the stinger in you along with a little pump that is sort of like an outboard motor to pump the poison into your skin
- StudentIs that empty space the mouth?
- StudentWhats the genus and species??
- Studentis that their brain?
- Studentare they all cut up??
Bugscope TeamYes, usually we can not fit a whole insect on a stub
- StudentAre there special adaptations for the mantisfly?
Bugscope TeamYes, it has large eyes to see at night, and raptorial front legs for capturing prey.
- Bugscope Teaminside of the microscope
- Studentthat is soooo cool!
- Studento wow that is awesome
- Studentanother window! whoa now a bathroom looking thing
- Bugscope Teamthis is what we are looking at
- TeacherTHank you very much
- Studentwow that is kool!!!
- Studentwhat kind of bugs are these?
- StudentWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha thats what were using??
- Studenthow many bugs are there?
Bugscope Teamwe try to fit as many insects as we can on one aluminum disk. Today we have an ant, leafhopper, japanese beetle mantisfly, spider, cricket, bumblebee, part of a paper wasp nest, and a fruit fly
- StudentThat is HUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Bugscope Teamthis is a vacuum chamber with the critters on that round platter
- TeacherHopey can have control again thanks
- Studentcan i control the scope?
- Studentwhere can fruit flies be found?
Bugscope TeamIn every ecosystem except the arctic where it never gets above freezing
- Studentwhere do u live
Bugscope TeamWe are all in Urbana Illinois.
- Studentcan i control the scope
- Bugscope TeamMrs N you have control now
- StudentANT HEAD
- StudentAre grass hoppers and crickets realated to each other?
Bugscope TeamYes, they are in the same order, Orthoptera
- Studenthe
- Studentlooks like my mom
Bugscope Teamooh
- Studenti
- Studentthats kinda ugly no offence to the buggy thing
- Studentdose it have eyes
- TeacherMikele would like controls please
Bugscope Teamok mikele has it
- StudentWhat are the fuzzy things on its mouth?
- StudentNO duh
- 2:32 pm
- Studentare there any special adaptations for the Mantisfly?
- Studentof course you can
- Studentjohnny thats not nice
- StudentANT HEAD!!!
- StudentWhere are ants found?
- Studenti was just kidding that doesnt look like my mom
- Studenthow big are these ants?
- StudentWhat are those round things on the side?
- Studentillanooss>?
- Bugscope Teamsee the compound eyes?
- Studentwhat kind of ant is it
Bugscope TeamI am not sure...I am not an expert on ants. Sorry
- Bugscope Teamoops not now
- Studentwhagt is in the mouth?
- Studentis it puking
- Studentare bees and grasshoppers related?????
Bugscope TeamOnly in that they are both insects. They are in very different insect families.
- Studentwhat is in the ants mouth?
- Studentlooks like man lil brother
- Studenthey that looks like hana montanas mom
- StudentYou live in illinois????!!!!! I USED TO LIVE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Studentis there something in the mouth of the ant
- Studentis it puking????
- Studentis there something in its mouth?
- Studentis there something in the mouth?
- Studenthey that is not funny
- Studentya jonny test loser
- Studentthis looks sooo creep!
- Studentis that an anthead
- StudentAre the bugs dead?
Bugscope Teamall the insects are dead. It would be kind of mean to stick them in a vacuum, where they can't breathe, then shoot them with an electron beam!
- Studentthese are all dead right?
- Bugscope Teamany
- Bugscope Teamany
- Bugscope Teamant
- Studentis this overwhelming with so many students?
Bugscope Teamit keeps us moving for sure
- Bugscope Teamthere
- Studentjonny test is a loser
- Studentare the eyes behind the antennas?
Bugscope Teamthat's right!
- StudentWhat biome can be found in?
- Studentwhat is this
- Studentpaper wasp nest
- Studentwhat is it made out of
Bugscope TeamWasps make the paper for their nests by gathering wood pulp and chewing it up. So the nest is made of spit paper.
- Studentdo they have ears?
Bugscope Teamlots of insects do not have ears but they can sense vibration
- Studentomg
- Studentwhat is this?
- Studentis this an animal? or jst a nest?
Bugscope Teamthis is a paper nest
- Studentthats cool
- Studenthow are they made?
- StudentWhat class would you find a cricket in?
- StudentDo wasps actualy make paper?
- Studentouchh!
- Studentso wat would u say is a major adaptation for it
- Studentwhat is the difference between wasps and honey bees??
Bugscope TeamThere are many many many types of wasps, but only one real species of honey bee. Bees have forked hairs on their body, they are truly social, and they have pollen baskets on their hind legs
- StudentSo is at an animal?
- Studentwhat is all the bumpy things on the thingt???
Bugscope Teamthose are pollen grains
- Studentdoes the nest have anything to protect itself
- Studenthow do they make their nest?
- Studentis the nest really made out of paper?
- StudentWhat are the large circle things on the bee?
- Studentyo what phylum is this in?????????????
- Studenthow do you know what a wasp nest looks like?
- StudentWhy are arachnids not considered insects??
Bugscope TeamThey have eight legs, eight eyes, no antennae, and only two body segments.
- Studentya
- StudentAre these made of woodspit?
Bugscope Teaminsects have six legs, for starters, and arachnids, as adults, have eight
- StudentWhat are those hexagon things?
- Studentcool beans
- Studentdo the bees have any other protection, besides its stinger?
Bugscope TeamNot really, they rely pretty heavily on that stinger.
- Studentthis is for scot J what is this
- Teacherhappy birthday would like control please
- Studentwho is baby girl
- Studentwhat are the lines??
- Studentbaby girl is megan
- Bugscope TeamHappy Birthday has control
- Studenthey hey camron
- Studentmegan you always get your ?'s answered
Bugscope Teamwe try to get everyone but sometimes we just cannot keep up
- Bugscope Teamthe lines are part of the surface of the exoskeleton
- 2:37 pm
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentshe used to be tamu
- StudentCan the fruit fly eat other than yeast on fruit
Bugscope Teamyou can grow fruit flies in special medium, so they will eat other stuff as well
- Studentits fine! sorry we are asking allot!!
- Studentwhat part of the boddy is this/
Bugscope Teamthis is one of the legs, up close
- Student:) i feel specail lol but do the hairs on a bee keep them warm like ours do....kinda?
- Studentare you near the bugs we are looking at?? like in the same building?
Bugscope TeamI am not, I am at my apartment, packing to get ready to move
- Student:) this is really cool!!!
Bugscope Teamwe're glad you think so!
- Studentdo bees reproduce?
Bugscope Teamyes, the queen bees lay eggs
- Studentwhere are these insects found
- Studentwat is that
- Studento ok!
- StudentAre you there with the bugs?
- Studenti get it now!
- Bugscope Teamthis is the tip of the glossa now, oops gone
- StudentYes bees reproduce, how do you think more come about?
- Studentwhy only the queen bee?
- Studentthere is only one queen bee, right?
Bugscope Teamin a honey bee and most bumblebee hives there is just one queen
- StudentWhy does it have hairs on it?
Bugscope Teamthe hairs have lots of functions, including tasting the air, feeling motion or touch, registering hot or cold...
- Studentwhere do all these animals come from?
- Studentwhy wont u all answer my questions
- Studenthow many eggs does the queen bee lay?
- StudentWhy is there only 1 queen bee and she has to lay all the egg? cant there be multiple?
Bugscope TeamNot in a honey bee colony...one queen only is the rule!
- Studenta loy
- Bugscope Teamthe background is doublestick carbon tape we stick the insects on-- it looks all bubbly
- Studentwow annie it's amazing how you can concentrate and do this at the same time!! thanks for taking the time to do this with us!!
Bugscope TeamThanks Sammisam...it is a nice break for me.
- Studentwhy
- Student YA THANKS A BUNCH!!!!
- Studentdo the hairs keep them warm? and bees have tounges?
Bugscope Teambees have tongues -- the tongue is called the 'glossa,' and I think it is likely that some of the fine hairs do keep the bees warm, but they are 'cold-blooded'
- Student wow this is werid!
- Studenthow much hair do they have on their tonge?
- Studentwhat are some adaptations
- Studentbye:(
- Studentnevermind
- StudentDo bees eat all the necter they collect?
Bugscope Teamno they store a lot of it -- that's how you get honey and the bees don't seem to mind
- Studentah ok
- 2:42 pm
- Studentwhat is thid
- Studentwhat are some adaptations of these insects
- Studentkreepy
- Studentwhere are the eyes?
- Studentis the queen bee the only one that makes the babies
Bugscope Teamyes she is
- Studentwhat is the tuby thing>

Bugscope Teamhairs on a bumblebee serve a dual purpose. They allow the bee to sense the environment around them as well as have pollen grains cling to them
- StudentWhy does the eye have hair
Bugscope Teamthe hair (setae) help the insect determine windspeed or wind direction
- Studentwhy does the bee's eye have hair

Bugscope Teamyes those are the ommatidia, the individual facets of the eye
- Studentwhats that
- Studentare those the spiders eye
Bugscope Teamthis is the fruit fly eye! The spikes are hairs between the facets of the compound eye that help sense wind movement
- StudentCOOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

- Studentwhere are fruit flys found
- Studentwouldnt having hair on the eyes make the insect see less clearly?
- Studentfghjkl;;likjuy
- Bugscope TeamThe spikes are hairs between the facets of the compound eye that help sense wind movement
- Bugscope Teamtry focusing now
- Studenthiuh
- Studentdis is borang
- Studentmay I try the microscope
- Student:))
- TeacherFox186 would like to control for awhile
Bugscope Teamfox has control
- Studentcooll!!!
- Studentcool
- Student:)
- Studentwhat exactly is this
Bugscope Teamwe are looking at a closeup of a fruit fly compound eye. fruit flies have a total of 5 eyes- 2 compound eyes and 3 ocelli (which are simple eyes that act as a sort of built in GPS)
- Studenthi
- Studentgood job sabastin ha ha
- Studentyes
- Student;)
- Studentho
- Studenthi
- Studentok
- Studentwhy dose it look like it has scales on the eye???

Bugscope Teamthe biggest we have in the microscope is this bumblebee, but the biggest bug in the world is a lobster!
- Studentyeah lets see something else
- Studentwhat up
- StudentWhat is this
- Bugscope Teamthese are pollen grains on the bumblebee
- Studentwhat does a fruit fly do?
Bugscope Teamit hangs around fruit and eats the mold that is associated with fruit
- Studentwhat is that
- StudentCool thats the pollen
- Studentwhy does it need so many eyes?
- StudentWOW WHT IS THAT
- Studentcool
- Studenton a beee
- StudentHi cate.
- Studentthose are pollen grains are you serious

Bugscope Teamlobsters aren't really bugs - they have two sets of antennae for starters
- StudentA lobster is a bug?
- StudentPollen on a beesleg
- Studentis this the fruit flys skin
- Studentlobsters are bugs?!
- Bugscope Teamreally lobsters aren't insects though, they are crustaceans like rolypolys
- Studentoh wow!
- StudentWhat are the bubbles around the hair
- Studentoh
- Studenta lobster i a bug?
- Bugscope Teamthe biggest insect is a goliath beetle
- Studentthat is cool
- Studentwhat does a praying mantais do??/
- Studentoh
- Studentdo we have a pill bug
Bugscope Teamnot today
- Studenthi mouse
- Bugscope Teamthis is the head of the fruit fly
- 3:28 pm
- Bugscope Teamlobsters cant be classified as insects because of the number of antennae they have
- Studentcool where do they pick up the pollen grains
- StudentCool
- Studentoh
- Studentwhat is on it's eyes?
- Studentdoes bugs eat animals
- Studentwhy is their pollen on the bee's legs
Bugscope Teamthe bee cruises around in flowers and could not avoid pollen if it wanted to
- Studentia that a ant
- StudentCant tje littlefangs come out
Bugscope Teamfruit flies don't have fangs because they drink their food. they don't need to chew it
- Studentthe
- Studentyess
- Studentwhy are the eyes fury
Bugscope Teamthey're furry so the fly can use them to gauge wind speed
- Studenthow long have flys been around for?
- StudentSo do the antennae act as like sunglasses?
- StudentHOW BIG IS THE GOLIATH BEETLE
Bugscope TeamGoliath beetles measure from 60–110 millimetres (2.4–4.3 in)
- Studentits eyes look like their made of honycomb
Bugscope Teamyes they do!
- Studenthow big are they
- StudentWhat with all the littel dots on the eyes
Bugscope Teamthe little dots are the individual facets of the compound eye, called ommatidia
- Student ?????
- Studenthow do they see

- Studentdo we have a butterfly
- Student,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,uffffffffffrioytssssssssrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhfkdrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdkuyirtryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyhjiourtyy kmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmfhttknjjjjjjjjtymmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut.....drty6ifugifgujfguiuyfhjfhjf
- Studentwhere is the mouth
Bugscope Teamthe mouth is to the right and down on the head
- Studentwow gross
- Studentwhat are those things on the fruit flys nose
Bugscope Teamit doesn't really have a nose -- those are the antennae
- Studenti knew it did something like that
- Studentis this a bee?
- StudentWhat is the bug laying on
- Studenthow many eyes does it have
Bugscope Teamhundreds of eye facets, and five eyes
- Studentzomzom zom
- StudentDo the ommatidia do
- Studentwhat type of bug is this
- Studentlook at the hairs
- StudentWhoa!!!!
- Studentwhats this?
- Studentwhy do they need so many eyes
Bugscope Teamsince fruit flies are flying insects, they really need good vision. That is why they have such HUGE compound eyes. And then they have the 3 simple eyes we cant see today, which are located on the top of their heads that can only tell whether it is light or dark. These are used to triangulate where it is
- StudentDo flies have claws or pinchers?
- Studentcvdbgg
- Bugscope Teamit would have two compound eyes and three ocelli, which are simple eyes of the top of the head
- Studentwhy does it have wiskers
Bugscope Teamthe whiskers help it feel its surroundings and in some cases taste things
- Studentwhy are none of my questions being answered
- Studentcool
- StudentWhy do they have hair all over their bodys?????????
- StudentDo they have swimmerets
- Studentis this a bee?:
Bugscope Teamthis is a fruit fly

- 3:33 pm
- Studentis there any bug that doesnt hav hair on it
- Studentwhy do the eyes look scaly?
- Studentdo fruit flies eat fruit
- Student the legs have'nt come out of the head yet
Bugscope Teamthose are not legs but tiny palps that look like legs
- Bugscope Teamthat is, try refreshing the browser to see the preset choices
- Studentwhy does it have so many eyes
- StudentWaht do the hair in between the facets of the eyes do?
- Studentwhy do bugs have multipul eyes
- StudentWhy do they have so many eyes and why do I keep getting logged out without my say so????????
- Studentare those two thing in the mouth are its tounge
- Studentwhy do the legs come out of the head?
Bugscope Teamthose are palps that the insect uses to taste and manipulate its food
- StudentAre those hair practicaly called wiskers?
Bugscope Teaminsect hairs are very similar to cat whiskers
- StudentWhy Why
- Studentdoes it chew its food
Bugscope Teamit doesn't chew; it gets its food as a liquid
Bugscope Teamno it sponges the liquid up with its mouthpart
- StudentWhy
- StudentIs that the fly's mouth ???
Bugscope Teamto the lower right is the mouth. to the left is a compound eye and to the middle top of the screen is part of one of its antennae
- Studentgo to somthing else
- TeacherRoxy is having difficulties with the computer can you please give controls Kenzigirl?
Bugscope TeamKenzigirl has control, and we are sorry about the control, Roxy
- Studentwhat does triangulate mean
Bugscope Teamit means that it can compare the views and get an idea of distance or direction from doing that
- StudentCate ur nice!!
- Student:)
- Studentwhat
- Studenthi
- StudentWhat is the fruit flys method of self defence???
Bugscope Teamits method is to fly away as fast as it can! Its eyes allow it to see movement really well, especially with the use of the hairs it has on the eyes that sense wind movement. So when you try to swat them, we think it would appear as a hand coming in slow motion toward them
- StudentCan KITKAT!!!!! controll now
- StudentWaht do the ommatidia do?
- Studentwhat are the lilttle compact things thatlook like horns
- Studentwhy do they have wiskers
