Bugscope Teamyes it is a shell - it is made of chitin, which is like what your fingernails are made of
- Guestwhy does it has hair
Bugscope Teamthe hair, called setae, help it to sense its environment. since bugs don't have nerves in their skin (they don't even have skin), they need those hairs, big time, to feel their way around
- Guestcuz

- Studentis that a leg????? :p

- Studentpp
- Guestwhos stoolen
- Studentis that his arm
- Bugscope Teamthose are the chelicers
- Studentwhat is a spiricale
Bugscope TeamA spiracle is a nostril for an arthropod. Although insects have nostrils all over their bodies, not just on their faces.
Bugscope Teama spiracle is a breathing hole on the side of a bug. bugs don't breath like humans, instead they have holes on the sides of their abdomens, and air goes inside and the bug absorbs the air that way. pretty cool huh?
- Studentwta does it do ??

Bugscope TeamMoths communicate almost entirely by smell and taste. They smell other moths, they smell their host plants, and they taste their host plants when they walk on the plant.
- Guestwhy does it have a spine on the wing?
Bugscope Teamthe spine may help it feel when the wing bends too much

- StudentWHOS LIO+}
- StudentWho is lol: :D
- Studentjust kiddin
- GuestThat looks like you
- Studentannie why do bugs have so mo much hair???
Bugscope TeamAll insects have hair because they need hairs to sense their environment through their thick exoskeleton. The hairs connect with the insects nervous systems and let it know what is going on. Different hairs sense smells, motion, vibrations, tastes.
- StudentWhy is it holy
Bugscope Teamthe holes seem to be there to protect small setae that are likely chemosensory -- they taste the air, or smell
- Guestannie why does it have wholes
- StudentWOW BIG WOOP
- StudentWHOS LOL=
- Student??
- Guestannie why does it have whol;es?
Bugscope TeamThose little indentations probably have small setae at the base. The setae may be to sense chemicals in the environment.
- Studentwhat is that
- GuestHey whats up scot?
- Bugscope Teamstinkbugs do not like the smell they make
- StudentHEY SCOTT HOW U DOIN
Bugscope Teamso far so good
- Guestannie why do bugs have so much hair
Bugscope TeamThey usually don't taste the air, they usually taste a surface, like a leaf or other potential food.
- StudentHAHA
- 1:14 pm
- StudentNOYB ehh jk its Lilly Nd Vickster haha
- Studenthi
Bugscope TeamHi!
- Studentwhy does it taste the air
Bugscope Teamit can smell food, for example, or pheromones, like the smell of other lovely stinkbugs it might be interested in

- Guestwhat is the stuff in the holes
Bugscope Teamthere's a lot of dust in the holes, but also setae
- Studentwat do u knw about bugs 4 knw
- StudentDATS PRETTY GOOD SCOT BUT WAT IS DAT
Bugscope Teampheromones are kind of like perfume is supposed to be -- they are supposed to attract other insects of the same species
- Studenta person personm
- Studenthi scott
Bugscope TeamHi Buttons
- StudentHi annie how are yuh doing?
Bugscope TeamI am good...sitting in the sun, warming up, talking bugs
- Studentwat up anniewhats pheromones!!!????
Bugscope TeamPheromones are chemicals that are released into the air that communicate with other insects. Pheromones are used to help insects find and recognize each other--it is like smelling your grandma's perfume and knowing it is your grandma
- StudentWhy are bugs so small
Bugscope Teamthey cannot be too much bigger because of the way they absorb oxygen
- StudentHI=]=]=]=] PPL
- StudentWhat are phermones???
Bugscope Teampheromones are various chemical scents in the air, produced by insects in this case
- GuestwHOES aNNIE?
Bugscope TeamUm, I am an entomologist
- Studentwat do u guys wanna talk about
- Studentwhat is setae
- Studenty r bugs so harry?

Bugscope TeamESEM is environment Scanning Electron Microscope. We are using it right now but as a SEM. We have the option of forming water droplets in the microscope if we wanted to
- Student hi who sais hi
- Guestwhy does it have so much hair(scot)
- StudentWHy can't they obsorbe a lot of oxigen Scot
Bugscope Teamthey are not as efficient as we are at processing oxygen. ours gets distrubuted through the blood, through the circulatory system, but bugs do not have the same setup

- Studenthi scott
- StudentThats Great=) is it summy overe there annie?/
Bugscope Teamyes
- Studentcomo Que wat
- Teacherplease give control to zusett
- StudentOr smelling your sister and getting discusted hehe jkjk
Bugscope Teamsure, same thing...smelling someone and being able to tell something about them from their smell--that is kind of like a pheromone. Since insects are so small and they don't have very good eyesight, they have to rely on smell to find each other.
- 1:19 pm
