• 7:24 am
• Teacherhello all we are getting ready for our science olympiad at poff elementary
• Bugscope Teamhello, mrs. prosser, welcome to bugscope
• Teacherthank you so much for this service
• Bugscope Teamwe are setting up presets, session at 8AM central right?

• Teacherwe have used bug scope for our tech expo, classes and now science olympiad
• TeacherI am getting everything ready for the projects here
• Teacherthanks-
• Bugscope Teamcool
• Bugscope Teamwe may not use all of the critters you see this morning -- some of them are charging too much

• 7:30 am

• Bugscope Teamok, we are done making presets, we are ready anytime you want to start, it's up to you
• 7:40 am
• Teacherokay, I am waiting for our first group to arrive
• Bugscope Teamcool
• Bugscope Teamif you want to practice controlling the scope, you can
• Teacherwe will have four groups of students to explore bug scope
• Bugscope Teamawesome, we can five control to those groups anytime, just let us know
• TeacherI am have told several librarains about this service you provide
• 7:54 am
• Bugscope TeamMrs Prosser you are good to go as soon as you'd like.
• TeacherI am also using a smart board
• Teacherwith this project
• Bugscope Teamok, no problemo
• TeacherI hope it works
• Bugscope Teamlot'
• Bugscope Team lot'
• Bugscope TeamCool. Will the kids have computers as well, to talk to us?
• Bugscope Teamahh! can't type this morning, lot's of teachers use smart boards
• Teacherthey can type on the smart board
• Teacherusing the keybaord
• Bugscope Teamthat sounds great!

• Teacherwhich images are not working
• Bugscope Teamall of the presets should be working
• Bugscope Teamall the presets work
• Bugscope Teamtry clicking on one of the presets

• 8:00 am
• Bugscope TeamMrs Prosser Cate found a mite on the stub this morning a little ways away from the bumblebee. Kind of cool.
• Bugscope TeamThat is preset no. 4.
• Bugscope Teamthere is also a mite on the bumblebee that is #3

• 8:06 am

• 8:12 am

• Bugscope Teampollen grains on the surface of the compound eye
• Bugscope Teamthe compound eye is made up of hundreds of individual facets, called ommatidia, each one has a lens in it
• Bugscope Teamyou can see the facets of the eye -- they're called ommatidia, and they are often hexagonal, as now
• Bugscope Teamha Alex beat me to it!
• Bugscope Team:)
• Bugscope Teamthe scale bar in the lower left tells you how big things are.
• Bugscope Teamone um = one micron = one millionth of a meter
• Bugscope Teamthere are many different kinds of pollen, and different shapes. we don't know what kind this is.
• Teacherwhat insect are we viewing
  Bugscope Teamthis is the compound eye of a bumblebee

• 8:18 am
• Teacherwhat part of the bug are you viewing
• Bugscope Teamwell, this is the eye of a fly, if you zoom out you can see the whole thing, then you can oom back it to get a clse-up
• Bugscope Teamoh sorry, the eye of a bumblebee, not a fly

• Bugscope Teamlots of pollen!
• Bugscope Teamyes this bumblebee is covered in pollen
• Bugscope Teamyou can see part of the jaw, now, and one of the antennae
• Bugscope Teamall those hairs are called setae (see-tee), they help the insect sense its environment

• Bugscope Teamwe also suggest how to catch and store insects on our website, to help the teachers/students through it
• Bugscope Teamsometimes they are trapped by entomologists in mesh nets that have been baited with pheromones or similar aromatic chemicals, and sometimes we catch them individually, as Alex said. Often we catch insects like bees as they are dying.
• 8:23 am
• Teacherwhat is the stuff on the eye
  Bugscope Teamthose are pollen grains
• Bugscope Teamthat is pollen
• Bugscope Teamsome of it might also be dirt or other debris as well

• Bugscope Teamthis is wild looking !
• Bugscope Teamassassim bug, like this, eat other insects

• Bugscope Teamah cool, this is an assassin bug, with it's huge proboscis sticking out of its head area, and the compound eyes on either side

• Bugscope Teamthey poke them with their proboscis and suck the juice out of them
• Bugscope Teamthis type of assassin bug is an ambush bug
• Bugscope Teamthere are 22 species of ambush bugs in North America
• Bugscope Teamwow, this ambush bug is very bumpy, i don't remember seeing one so bumpy before!
• Bugscope Teamsee the domelike eyes? and the swept-back antennae?
• Bugscope Teamthey sit on flowers waiting to clutch other insects with their hooked legs
• Bugscope Teamthey often take prey larger than themselves, including bees and large flies
• Bugscope Teamyou can see that this ambush bug has a thickened cuticle -- its exoskeleton

• 8:28 am
• Bugscope Teamkind of like an insect rhinoceros
• Bugscope Teamthis is part of the proboscis -- its piercing mouthpart
• Bugscope Teamyou can see a couple of scales from other insects on the center portion of the proboscis
• Bugscope Teamthe things that look kind of like feathers

• Bugscope Teamand you can see that the proboscis is solid, like a little jackhammer

• Bugscope Teamah, this is cool, some flying insects have these setae inbetween the ommatidia, they are thought to help sense wind speed and direction, to help the insect fly around
• Teacherthe images are not loading
  Bugscope Teamtrying click on refresh (F5)
• Bugscope Teamhit F5
• Teacherwe have an x for the images
• Teacherthanmk you
• Bugscope Teamso that fixed it?
• Teacherthank you
• Teacherthank you
• 8:33 am
• Bugscope Teamyou're welcome
• Bugscope Teamcool cool, glad it's working again, sometimes networks can caused weirdness in communication, so if something isn't working try F5 (refresh) of your browser

• Bugscope Teamexploring a cave on huh?

• Bugscope Teamthis is a scale from a butterfly, or a moth, probably
• Bugscope Teamscales are very cool, if you zoom in more, you'll see that it's got holes in it

• Bugscope Teamsee the little ridges, and the holes? these are much like feathers are to a bird

• Bugscope Teamd'oh Alex beat me again!

• Bugscope Teamthis is so cool
• Bugscope Teamgood job driving the microscope!

• 8:38 am
• Bugscope Teamif you were a butterfly, or moth, or mosquito, or even a silverfish, and you got stuck in a spiderweb, you might be able to get out by leaving your scales and slipping away, like taking off your jacket
• Bugscope Teamthis is super high mag.

• Bugscope Teamsee the scalebar in the lower left of the image?
• Bugscope Teamheh, going any higher with the mag isn't going to get much results. although the scope can mag up to 800,000x, for insects like this, and this sample, best mags are in the 40-40,000x range, although that scale still had some definition at 130,000x, cool!

• Bugscope Teamwhen we use the microscope for Bugscope, like today, we keep the samples fairly far away from the electron source, so we do not get the best resolution at high magnification but can see more of the samples at low magnification
• Bugscope Teamthe bumps are ommatidia -- eye facets -- on this compound eye
• Guesthi
• Bugscope Teamhi joseph
• Bugscope Teamhi joseph, welcome to bugscope, we are in the middle of a session right now
• Guestis this a fine of a fish
  Bugscope Teamit was a scale, either belonging to a mosquito, butterfly, or moth

• 8:43 am

• Bugscope Teama mite, now!
• Bugscope Teamyou can see one of its limbs

• Bugscope Teamthere is not too much to see here

• Bugscope Teamyou can take the mag down a bit and work on the focus

• Bugscope Teamthis is a very small mite -- look at the scalebar!
• Bugscope Teamwe don't know much about mites
• Guestbut is that hair or spikes
  Bugscope Teami think those are hairs, which are called setae (see-tee), and they help the insect sense its environment
• Bugscope Teamthey are often blind -- often they do not have eyes
• Guestis that a fish
  Bugscope Teamnope, this is bugscope, not fishscope... :)
• Bugscope Teamso Pernell Jean that is part of mite on the body of a bumblebee, way up close
• Bugscope Teampart of a mite...
• Guestwhat ever
• Teacherwhat is this bug
• Teacherour next group just arrived
• Guestby feeling the enverment becuse its blinde
  Bugscope Teamwell, no it has eyes as well, but it senses a lot of different things with those setae (hairs), it can sense movement, temperature, and can also smells things with those setae
• Bugscope Teamthis is part of a mite on the exoskeleton of a bumblebee
• Bugscope Teamif you take the mag down a little you can see where you are
• 8:49 am
• Guestis that carrie poisn
  Bugscope Teamit is probably not poisonous
• Bugscope Teamsome setae are mechanosensory, and others are chemosensory, sensing movement and chemicals, respectively..
• Guestok but does the bumble bees sckoelten have diffrent defances and what are they

• Guesthi

• Guest hi
• Teacherwhat is on the bug
  Bugscope Teamwell, it has some setae on it, and it has the exoskeleton
• Teacheror is the bug on something
• Bugscope Teambumblebees are nonaggressive, but will sting if they are bothered
• Guestcan you do a fruit fiy?
• Bugscope Teamthis is a mite on a larger bug
• Bugscope Teama mite on a bumblebee, if you zoom out you'll see the bumblebee
• Bugscope TeamDamon we have a fruit fly in the 'scope now. The people who are driving can go to it if they want.
• Guestthose are spikes
  Bugscope Teamthe spikes are setae, aka bug hairs
• Bugscope Teamthe fruit fly is preset no. 14

• Bugscope TeamCool!
• Bugscope Teamthese are setae as well

• Bugscope Team This is the eye of the fruit fly, at super high magnification
• Guestcool
• Guestno pernell!
• Bugscope Teamthe compound eye of the fruit fly, and as Cate said it has tiny setae sticking out of it
• 8:54 am
• Teacherwhatis the spike like things
  Bugscope Teamthose are setae, they are thought to help sense wind while the fly is flying, which helps them to avoid danger while flying
• Bugscope Teamall insects are VERY HAIRY with setae all over the place. since insects don't have skin, they need those hairs to sense their environment
• Bugscope Teamthe setae are mechanosensory, meaning that they can sense touch, or wind, and transmit that sense to the brain

• Guestthat eye
• Bugscope Teaminsects and other similar arthropods have exoskeletons -- like the shell on a shrimp

• Bugscope Teamthe exoskeleton is like if you were wearing armor -- you would not be able to feel something touching your armor
• Bugscope Teamthis is an ambush bug
• Bugscope Teamthey sit on flowers and grab insects as they come by

• Guestthanks cate.
• Guestthat's a bee
• Bugscope Teaminsects have no bones; they are invertebrates, meaning they don't have a backbone

• Guestdo thay come out in mid time?
• 8:59 am

• Guestdo they bite

• Bugscope Teamooh look at the 'forearms'
• Bugscope Teamit has big muscley arms
• Bugscope Teamthat is what they use to grasp their prey
• Teacherwhat is it on?
  Bugscope Teamthe bubbly background is the double stick carbon tape we sit the insects on
• Bugscope Teamfierce little dudes
• Guestwhats forearms?
• Bugscope Teamthe carbon tape is attached to an aluminum disk
• Bugscope Teamlike Popeye the sailor -- the part of your arm that your hands are attached to
• Bugscope Teamha, good analogy scott!
• Bugscope Teamwhere Popeye has his anchor tattoo
• Guest no cate that's a ambush bug

• Guest:(

• Guestthat's the mouth

• Bugscope Teamyes, this is the mouth area of an ambush bug
• 9:05 am
• Guest???
• Bugscope Teamthat is a jackhammer-like proboscis that allows it to pierce the cuticle of other insects and suck out their insides
• Guest:o
• Bugscope Teamtrue bugs like this ambush bug have a proboscis used to pierce things, usually plants for sap. But this one will pierce other insects with it to drink the insides

• Guest;)
• Guestan ambush bug
• Bugscope Teamthis is a weevil, lying on its side

• Bugscope Teamyou can see its eye now
• Guest?
• Guest*****

• Guestscot don't do that
• Guest$)
• Bugscope Teamit seems to have spit up a bunch of liquid that is attached to its mouth
• Teacherwhat are weevils
  Bugscope TeamWeevils are small herbivorous beetles -- they feed on plants
• Guestwho doing that!
• Guestthat's a leg
  Bugscope Teamthis is the head of the weevil
• Bugscope Teama weevile is a type of beetle, sometimes called a snout beetle
• Bugscope Teamthe bumpy part near the middle is the compound eye of the weevil
• Bugscope Teamthere's just a TON of weevil species too, tons
• Bugscope Teamnormally we can also see the antennae, which are often near the end of the 'snout'
• Bugscope Teamentomologists can hardly keep up with the number of species of them
• Guestno is not cate
• 9:10 am

• Guestnot cool.
• Bugscope TeamI think these are a couple of antenna? not sure, if you zoon out mrs. prosser, we can see more
• Guestwe?
• Guestthat 's hair
• Bugscope Teamah, okay, then it's setae (see-tee)
• Guestbiy.
• Bugscope Teamthat is right, look at it up close -- it looks like human hair but is very narrow

• Bugscope Teamclick to center would help here

• TeacherWhat is that thing?!
• Bugscope Teamthat looks like a human hair
• Bugscope Teamyou could lower the magnification to see if we can see more of it
• Bugscope Teamor maybe a dog hair
• 9:17 am
• Bugscope TeamMrs Prosser are you there?
• Teacher yes,
• Teacherone of my students asked a few questions
• Teacherwhere do you get all the bug samples
  Bugscope Teamoh, sometimes we'll find and collect bugs from home, or work, but we also encourage teachers and students to find bugs in their schoolyard, and send them to us

• Bugscope Teamand sometimes the entomologists give us their collections

• Bugscope Teamthis looks like a thin mammalian hair
• Bugscope Teamlet's go to a new place...
• 9:22 am
• Teachernew group coming in
• Bugscope Teamok

• Bugscope Teamwelcome to bugscope!!!
• Bugscope Teamthe tiny nubs we see now are like taste buds to the beetle
• Bugscope Teamthe structure the taste buds are on is a palp, which is one of four little 'feelers' that are actually accessory mouthparts
• Teacherwow...
• Teacherwe can go closer??
• Teacherplease explain to the class what we are viewing
• Bugscope Teamsure go ahead and increase the magnification
• Bugscope Teamthe things we are calling taste buds are chemosensory setae -- the insect can use them to taste its prospective food.
• Bugscope Teamthere are four palps - two mandibular and two maxillary, referring to the jaws

• Bugscope Teamfor example your lower jaw is your mandible and your upper jaw, part of your skull, is the maxilla
• Bugscope Teambut on insects the jaws often open sideways to ours
• 9:27 am

• Bugscope Teamthey also use their palps to move around their food
• Bugscope Teamsome of the tiny setae we see now are likely also hot/cold receptors
• Bugscope Teamsome chemosensory setae only sense certain chemicals, and some have the ability to detect a wider range of tastes or smells

• Bugscope Teamthis, now, is the rounded surface of the compound eye of the bumblebee
• Bugscope Teamso it is not a surprise that we see these pollen grains on the eye
• Bugscope Teammany bees, like honeybees, seem to have very 'hairy' eyes, but this is smooth
• Teacherhow does the eye of the bee move
  Bugscope Teamtheir eyes don't move like ours. They are stationary. They have compound eyes to make up for this that can give them an almost 360 degree view of what's around them
  Bugscope Teamwell, it's not like a human eye, in that it does not move. each bump or facet (called ommatidia) has a lens in it, pointed in a fixed direction. since the eye has hundred of ommatidia, pointed in different directions, sometimes in 180 degrees, it can see well and has a large angle of view

• 9:32 am
• Bugscope Teamso in a way they can see what
• Bugscope Teamwhats in front and behind them at the same tim
• Bugscope Teamtime*

• Bugscope Teamyes, cate is right, it's almost 360. each eye giving a 180 degree view, so two eyes on each side of the head, adds up to 360 degrees
• Teacherwhy is there pollen on the eye
  Bugscope Teambees often have their heads in flowers, so they get pollen on their eyes and need to sweep it away, occasionally

• Bugscope Teamthis is a single wing scale from a butterfly or moth, probably

• 9:38 am
• Teacherwhere was the scale collected
  Bugscope Teamthe scale was found on the dragonfly eye. It's possible it got there because it fought a butterfly or a moth
• Teacherplease explain to my group how bug scope got started
  Bugscope Teamwe started Bugscope in the beginning of 1999 when we got this new $600,000 scanning electron microscope and wanted to do a sustainable outreach project. The project remote access project before Bugscope was Chickscope, and it could only be 'live' to two classrooms for a limited amount of time. Chickscope cost $5000 to run for two classrooms.
• Teacherwhat are the holes
• Bugscope TeamI should have said '
• Bugscope Teamthe spacing in the scale is what can give the scale color. We also sometimes see pigment granules in the spacing
• Bugscope Teamthe remote access project before Bugscope'...
• 9:43 am

• Bugscope Teamscales have colors that come from pigment, like you would expect, but they also have colors, as Cate said, that come from the spacing of the ridges. Those are called 'structural colors.'
• Bugscope Teamthis is cool
• Bugscope Teamthis is the antenna of the fruit fly

• Bugscope Teamit has a basal unit, to the right, and the more branched component, to the left

• Bugscope Teaminsects use their antennae to gather information about what is around them, so the antennae have lots of sensory setae on them
• Teacherwhat part of the fruit fly is this
  Bugscope Teamthis is it's antenna
• Bugscope Teamflies don't have antennae like a lot of other insects, which are usually long and straight
• Bugscope Teammany of the sensory setae are chemoreceptors -- they permit the insect to taste the air and pick up chemical traces

• Bugscope Teamyou are doing a good job driving the microscope

• Bugscope Teamto the left of the base of the branched part of the antenna

• Bugscope Teamoops to the left *is* the base
• 9:48 am

• Bugscope Teambeetle claw!
• Bugscope Teamsee the hooks on the claw?
• Teacherhow does the image change?
• Bugscope Teamyou drive to the area and the microscope gives you an image of that place
• Bugscope Teamwherever you go the microscope sends a constantly updating beam of electrons
• Bugscope Teamif the electrons are sent to a small area you get a magnified image, and if the electrons scan across a large area you get a lower magnification image

• Bugscope Teamnow the microscope is driving to this new area
• Bugscope Teamwhere the ambush bug is

• 9:53 am
• Bugscope Teamthis bug hides patiently on the edges of flowers, for example, and then attacks insects that are attracted to the flower
• Teacherwhere would find an ambush bug
  Bugscope Teamyou can find them on flowers usually
• Teacheris there anything related to the ambush
• Bugscope Teamit has huge powerful forelimbs that it uses to grasp its prey so it can pierce the prey with its proboscis, which we see now in the middle of the screen
• Bugscope Teamthe forelimbs are on either side of the image, if you want to drive a little to the left or right
• Bugscope TeamI think you could say that assassin bugs are related
• Teacherwhat is a proboscis
  Bugscope Teamthat is the mouth part you see here coming down the middle of this bug's face. It is used for drinking liquids. You can think of it being similar to an elephant's trunk
• Bugscope Teamyes assassin bugs are closely related, they both are true bugs that attack other insects
• Bugscope Teamthey are both hemiptera, I believe -- insects with piercing mouthparts
• Teacherwhat do they eat
  Bugscope Teamthey pierce other insects with their proboscis and drink the insides
• Bugscope Teamhemiptera are 'true bugs,' as Cate says
• Teachercan they lay eggs
  Bugscope Teamthey lay eggs that are coated with a sticky glue so that they attach firmly to flowers
• Teacherare they really hairy
  Bugscope Teamambush bugs are definitely not as hairy as say the bumblebee, but it still has some hair on it
• Teacherhow long are they
  Bugscope Teamthis is a couple of centimeters long -- they vary in length
• 9:59 am
• Teacherthat color are they
  Bugscope Teamambush bugs are yellow-green with some brownish areas on its back
• Teacherwhere are they from
  Bugscope Teamthey are said to be found throughout the US and Canada; they are probably on every continent as different related species

• Bugscope Teamthe bites from assassin bugs and ambush bugs can be excruciating. Many can make a squeaking sound by rasping the beak against ridges the proboscis lies against.
• Bugscope Teamyou can probably find them anywhere there is leafy vegetation
• Bugscope Teamit's good if they don't develop a taste for people
• Bugscope Teambed bugs are also hemiptera - they are cousins of ambush and assassin bugs
• 10:07 am

• Bugscope Teamif you take the magnification down here you can see where you are on the beetle
• Bugscope Teamthis is one of the palps, which are little feeler mouthparts that help insects taste and handle their food

• Bugscope Teamand if you take the mag down here you can see where this is on the dragonfly head

• Bugscope Teamhey cool!

• Bugscope Teama curte little beetle
• Bugscope Teamcute
• Teachernext group started
• Bugscope Teamyou can see that it was once in someone's collection

• Bugscope Teamit has a hole in its thorax

• Bugscope Teamnow you can see the beetle's jaws
• Bugscope Teamfocus the other way
• Bugscope Teamfocus is up or down and if it gets worse go in the other direction
• Bugscope Teamdo you want to see the inside of the scanning electron microscope?
• Teacherwere would you find this bug
• Teacheryes
• 10:12 am
• Bugscope Teamit is probably common here in the US

• Bugscope Teamthis beetle is so tiny. It is probably as common as the lady bug
• Bugscope Teamnow we can see what we have been working with today
• Teacherthat is a pretty cool machine
• Bugscope Teamthis is the vacuum chamber of the electron microscope, and in the middle on the little plate are all of the insects we have been looking at
• Teacherwho uses it
  Bugscope Teamit is used by people doing various kinds of research, with bacteria or silicon structures or selfhealing plastics...
• Bugscope Teamthe cone at the top is where the electrons come from, and the cage in the upper right is where the secondary electrons go that make up the images we see
• Teacherwhat does this bug eat
  Bugscope Teammost likely plants
• Bugscope Teamit's pretty far down on the food chain
• Teacherhow old is the microscope
  Bugscope Teamwe got it about 10 years ago funded for this program

• 10:18 am

• Teacherwhat are we viewing
  Bugscope Teamthis is a fly, possibly a type of robber fly since it has piercing mouthparts

• Bugscope Teamthis is on the fruit fly
• Teacherhow many eyes are on this bug?
  Bugscope Teamthey have 2 compound eyes, and 3 simples eyes-- called ocelli which we cant see today but sit near the top of the head
• Bugscope Teamhere you can see a rectangular shape where we had parked the beam before

• Bugscope Teamcool!

• Bugscope Teamgood job driving!
• Bugscope Teamsee the whole head now?
• Bugscope Teamso 5 in total
• TeacherTHANKS!
• Bugscope Teamthere are hundreds of tiny lenses in the compound eyes of the fruit fly - we have not tried to count them
• Bugscope Teamthe fruit fly kind of looks like its wearing a gas mask, but that is its sponging mouthpart to the right

• Teacherwhat is the scale part
• 10:24 am
• Bugscope Teamthe scale? you mean in the lower left corner? the scalebar? or something else?
• Teacheryes
• Bugscope Teamthe scalebar says 151 mu m
• Teacheron the bug
• Bugscope Teamor 151 microns

• Bugscope Teamright now we see the right compound eye, the antenna, and lots of tiny setae
• Bugscope Teamthe sponging mouthparts Cate had mentioned are to the right of where we are

• Bugscope Teamthis is a biting fly
• Bugscope Teamyou would feel this if it bit you

• Bugscope Teamit has tiny slashing mouthparts like a horsefly

• Bugscope Teamthis is the center of the face

• Bugscope Teamsee the big sensory hairs?

• Bugscope Teamit can feel the wind and if something is touching it

• Bugscope Teamwe can tell that it has very good peripheral vision, and it can likely see very well

• Bugscope Teamclick again on the image to stop

• 10:29 am

• Bugscope Teamif you get lost try another preset
• Bugscope Teamthis is the edge of the world

• Bugscope Teamthe weevil!
• Bugscope Teamit is lying on its side, and you can see its antennae, which are coming out of the end of its snout
• Teacherwhere would you find one of these?
• Bugscope Teamthey are herbivorous -- so you would find them on plants

• Bugscope Team*infest* cotton

• Bugscope Teamsee the eye, to the left?

• Bugscope Teammany play dead when disturbed
• Bugscope Teammany are also coated with scales that may rub off as the insect ages

• Bugscope Teamthey are sometimes called 'snout beetles' because of the extension between their eyes and mouth, like a dog, kind of
• Bugscope Teamtheir antennae come out near the tip of the snout, which is a little different
• 10:34 am

• Teacherscot- what is your job title
• Teacherwhere did you go to college
• Teacherhow did you get involved in bug scope
• Bugscope TeamI am the manager of the microscopy suite but I just like being called a senior research engineer
• Bugscope Teamwhich is my old title
• Bugscope TeamI went to the University of Kansas and had a double major in English and Biology
• Bugscope TeamI helped start Bugscope -- I was the electron microscopist, and I helped figure out how we were going to set things up, etc.
• Teacherthis is a great service for our students
• Teacherthank you so much, see you again in the fall
• Bugscope Teamit is really fun for us.
• Bugscope TeamThank You!
• TeacherI can see that
• Teacherwe love it
• Teacherour 5th grade loves this service
• Bugscope Teamthanks for participating
• Bugscope TeamWe get to see cool stuff working here but bugscope is usually the most fun.
