• 10:55 am
• Bugscope Teamsession is ready to go

• 11:01 am
• Bugscope TeamGood morning!
• Bugscope TeamWelcome to Bugscope!
• Teacherthanks. we're getting the kids booted -- maybe 3 more minutes
• Bugscope TeamHello ceasar and steph!
• Bugscope Teamand john and ricardo!
• Bugscope Teamwelcome to Bugscope!
• Studenthi
• Bugscope Teamand anthohy and alicia!
• Bugscope Teamoops sorry anthony I can't type
• Bugscope Teamthis is a honeybee head
• Studentcool
• Guesthi scot

• Bugscope TeamHi John and Ricardo!

• Guestwhat is that
• Bugscope Teamoops
• 11:06 am
• Bugscope Teamthis now is a closeup of the fangs of a spider
• Studenthi im steph
• Bugscope Teamthey are pointed toward each other
• Bugscope TeamHi Steph!
• Studentwhat kind of spider
  Bugscope Teamwe aren't sure what kind. It can be hard to identify them, but it is small and has long legs
• Guestwhat of bug is it
• Bugscope Teamwhen a spider bites, it has these big things (chelicerae) like jaws that move sideways, and the fangs are at the endthe ends
• Bugscope Teamyou can see a lot of what look like hair on all of the insects/arthropods today
• Studentwow, i never knew that
• Studentthat is cool
• Guestis spider dangerous
  Bugscope Teamsome spiders are dangerous because their venom can destroy your tissue -- like skin and muscle
• Bugscope Teammost of the 'hairs' are sensory, and they are often called 'setae,' which is pronounced see-tee.
• Studentwhat kind of spider
  Bugscope Teamwe aren't sure
• Studentdoes it biet
  Bugscope Teamit does when it wants to eat other insects or if it is scared. It wouldn't bite humans on purpose
• Studenthi im ceasar
  Bugscope TeamHi Caesar!
• Studentdo these spiders have poisson
  Bugscope Teamall spiders have poison and they all eat sort of the same way: they inject their poison, or venom, into an insect, for example, and the venom dissolves the inner organs, and then the spider sucks all of that stuff back up like a milkshake.
• Studenthow much can this spider hurt you
• Guesthow many type of spider in the world
  Bugscope TeamI read that there are maybe 35,000 to 37,000 species of spider
• 11:11 am
• Guesthow fast do they fly?
  Bugscope Teamspiders can catch the wind to move, sometimes, but they don't really fly
• Guestfrom rich

• Guesthhhhhhhhhhhiiiiii
• Studentwhat is that
  Bugscope Teamearwigs are sometimes called pincher bugs
• Bugscope Teamthese are showing male pinchers on an earwig
• Guestsup

• Studentcool
• Studentwhat are their enemies
  Bugscope TeamEarwigs are eaten by spiders and ground beetles, probably mice and lizards as well.
• Guestis it sharp
  Bugscope Teamthey are pretty sharp, and if you bother one it will try to pinch you
• Bugscope Teamthis is a female earwig
• Studentcool
• Studentdo the earwigs change color
  Bugscope TeamI'm not sure -- they may change color over time depending on what they eat.
  Bugscope TeamNope, they are all dark brown.
• Guesta female!!!!!!!!!!

• Studenthow big are earwigs pincers?
  Bugscope Teamit depends on the size of the earwig, but they can easily be a centimeter long on a large earwig

• Studentwhat do they eat
  Bugscope TeamGenerally speaking, they eat decomposing leaves and fungus. However, they are general scavengers and will eat growing plants--especially seedlings.
• Guesthow fast can it fly?
  Bugscope Teamearwigs can barely fly, and they usually do not
• Studentdo they bite
  Bugscope TeamNo, but they can pinch with those pinchers.
• Studentwhat is that
• StudentWhat do Earwigs eat?
  Bugscope Teamthey are plant pests, but they can also eat other insects
• Guestdo earwig have teeth
  Bugscope TeamThey have mandibles, jaws that have some tooth-like bumps on them
• Guestwhy
• Studentwhat is this it looks like a crab
• Studentdoes it have bacteria in their mouth
  Bugscope Team it's hard to say, but it is cool when we see bacteria on insects. It's hard to find it sometimes
• Studentwhat is in its mouth?
  Bugscope Teamwe always wonder about mouths because it seems like there are so many parts that are there to help eating

• 11:16 am
• Studentwow
• Studentwhat is this one
• Guestwhat is it
• Guestare you a scientist
  Bugscope TeamAnnie is an entomologist, and yes a scientist. I have a degree in Biology and English, and Cate has a degree in physics
• Studentdoes it use the bathroom
• Guestwhat do roach eat
  Bugscope TeamRoaches will eat anything. They especially like starchy things...but they will eat anything at all.
• Guestthat is cool
• Studentwhat color is the earwigs blood?
  Bugscope Teamthe blood of an insect is called hemolymph, and it is often clear unless something else is mashed up into it
• StudentWOW what is it
• Studentdo they have bones
• Studentwhat is this
• Guestwhat is this
  Bugscope Teamthis is a spiracle, which is a breathing hole (like on a whale).
• Guestdoes it use the bathroom
  Bugscope Teamin a manner of speaking, yes
• Studentor are they just boneless
  Bugscope Teamthey are boneless -- they are invertebrates, so they don't have a backbone, but of course they have no bones at all
• Studentdo they run
  Bugscope TeamThey run pretty fast.
• StudentDo Earwigs tend to crawl then fly?
  Bugscope TeamThey mostly crawl. They are rather fast runners.

• Studentare you a ectomologist
  Bugscope TeamAnnie is; Cate and I are electron microscopists.
• Bugscope Teamexcept water doesnt come out of it
• Studentthat is cool
• Bugscope TeamI am an entomologist.
• Guestare the earwigs from the triasic

• Studenthow long have you been doing bugscope?
  Bugscope Team11 years next month
• Guesti don't see any thiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggg!
  Bugscope Teamhit Refresh on your browser
• Studentwhy do the roaches tickle you but do not bite you
  Bugscope Teammaybe they're smart and just want to annoy you do you'll jump away
• Studentdo roaches still live without their heads
  Bugscope Teamsort of, for a little while
• Guestwhat was the first bug you ever caught?
  Bugscope Teamprobably a rolypoly
• 11:21 am
• Studenthow do roaches take their heads off
• Studentdo they eat dirt
• Studenthis is perla kyana and eva
• Studentwhat are those things coming out of its eyes?
• Guestare they like ants
• Studentwhat happens when pincer bugs pinch you?does it send a disease
  Bugscope TeamNo diseases are transmitted by earwigs. The pinches just sort of pinch a little. They don't even hurt that bad.
• Studentare rochies hairy anddo they have eyes
  Bugscope Teamyes! you can see the eyes now, on the sides of the head
• Studentwhen do cacaroaches die
  Bugscope TeamWhen they get old or when they are eaten or when someone steps on them.
• Guestwhat is that thing coming out of his head that look creepy
  Bugscope Teamthat is, or those are -- the antennae
• Studentwhat happens is they bite you
  Bugscope TeamNothing really happens--cockroaches can't really bite.
• Studenti thought they could live without their head for a week
• StudentDo Cockaroaches eat everything?
  Bugscope Teamthey are generalists, and although they favor certain things they can eat about anything that any other insect would eat
• Guestwhat would you do if you foound a new type of bug
  Bugscope TeamWell, theoretically, I would do lots of research to make sure that it really was a new species. Then you take pictures, and write a description of the new species, you give it a name, and then you publish the description in a scientific journal.
• Studentwhere do you find these insects?
• Guestwow
• Studenthow is it possible for roaches to live without heads
• Studentwhat do earwigs do all day
• Guestdo it have fure on his headx
• Studenthi
  Bugscope TeamHi!
• Studentat what year
• Studentare earwigs born with pincers
  Bugscope TeamI think when they come out of their eggs they do have pinchers
• Guestdo the baby nymphs eat their mom?!
  Bugscope TeamNot unless she dies.
• Studentwhere are the habitats of the roaches
  Bugscope TeamRoaches live in moist, warm places...usually near humans.
• Studentwhat is that thing
• Guestwhat do they eat
• Guestwhat type of spiders do you have
• Studentare they blind
  Bugscope Teamno they have eyes; I can drive you closer if you want to see the roach eyes
• Studentdo ants belong to the same family as earwigs?
  Bugscope TeamNo! Ants are in the family Formicidae and earwigs are in several families--they are their own order: the Dermaptera.
• Studentwhat do earwigs eat
• Guestwhat does it do
• Studentdo u get scarsgsed of the bu
• Studentwhere do you find roaches?
• Guestno kameron,khiem

• Studentwhy does the roach have hairy antennas
• Bugscope Teamhumans can't live without our heads because we breathe through our mouth and nose and we have a complex system of veins. Insects breathe through spiracles, or little holes in each body segment. Plus, the roach brain does not control this breathing and blood does not carry oxygen throughout the body. Rather, the spiracles pipe air directly to tissues through a set of tubes called tracheae. So when their heads come off they can still live for a little while

• Studentdo u get scared of the bugs
  Bugscope Teamsometimes I do
• Studenthow long do female earwigs live?
  Bugscope TeamProbably 2-3 months.

• Studentwhat is that?
• Studentwhat is that
• Studentwhat can a roach be eaten by???????
  Bugscope TeamA small roach can be eaten by a spider, a predaceous beetle or a mantis. A large roach can be eaten by a bird, a lizard, a snake, a mouse, a skunk, a racoon. Anything that can catch them
• Studentwhat is that
• Bugscope Teamthis is the eye of the roach, one the eyes
• Guestno oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
• 11:26 am
• Studentwhat is this
  Bugscope Teamthe eye of the roach; it is very smooth
• Guest what is that
• Studentwow thats a wierd eye
• Guestwhere are you
• Studentwhat is that
• Studentdoes it have hair by its eyes?
• Studentdo earwigs eat plants
  Bugscope Teamyes they do -- gardeners do not like them
• Studentrichard

• Bugscope Teamokay I just moved us to the ladybug eye
• Studentthat is a wierd eye
• Studentcooooollllllllll
• Studentwhat does it eat
• StudentDo you know how to idenify a Earwigs from a male or female?
  Bugscope TeamThe males have larger pinchers, that are curved outward. The pinchers of the female are straight.
• Studenthow long do male earwigs live?
• Studentcould roaches live without a head
  Bugscope TeamI kept one alive for about three days.
• StudentWhat is this
• GuestStephine
• Studentis the superstition true that earwigs lay their eggs in peoples brains?
  Bugscope Teamnot really
• Studenthow long do they live

  Bugscope TeamThey have black eyes.
• Studentwho
• Guesthi
• Guestwhat kind of bug is it
  Bugscope Teamthis is a ladybug
• Studentwhat is this
• Guestsup
• Studentare earwigs allergic to anything?
  Bugscope TeamI don't know that insects have allergies. Their immune systems are not like vertebrate immune systems. They don't really have acquired immunity since they really don't live long enough to need to be immune to something, like the flu or something. So no--earwigs are not allergic to anything because their immune systems are not capable of allergic reactions.

• Studentwhere do they live
• Studentsup richard

• Studentwhat is that
• Studentwhats that stuff on it?
  Bugscope Teaminsects are on the ground all the time, so it's not unusual to see dirt and dust on them
• Guestwhats all that fur stuff

  Bugscope TeamI squashed one a very short time ago this morning...sorry Scott--the hatred.
• Studenthow long does a bee live after it stung something
  Bugscope TeamMaybe 10-20 minutes. Not very long. It is difficult for them to live without the bottom half of their abdomens.
• Studentare those sticking out intestines
  Bugscope Teamon the top of the head are antennae sticking out, and then from the mouth, there are palps sticking out. Palps are used to help the insect taste or move around food
• Guestwhat is this?
• 11:31 am
• Studenthi

• StudentWHAT DOES THIS BUG EAT????
• Studentwhats in the mouth of that earwig??
  Bugscope Teamthose are palps and the mandibles
• Studentdo the earwigs kill their dad too
  Bugscope TeamNearly mom earwigs nor dad earwigs have anything to do with their offspring. The females lay eggs and then go away. The little earwigs wouldn't eat their mother unless she had died and was decomposing next to the "nest"
• Guestis that its mouth
• Studentwhat does it eat ;how do you do this ;what color is its blod

  Bugscope TeamInsects do produce saliva--but I am not sure if anyone knows anything about earwig saliva
• Studentsup rich
• Studentnike
• Studentwhat do they eat
• Studentah
• Bugscope Teampalps are like little accessory mouthparts that help the insect feed
• Studenthow big is a live earwig
  Bugscope Teamlarge ones in the Tropics could be as long as the palm of your hand
• Studentnuke tacticulnukealex
• Guesthi cameron
• Studenthi
• Guestcan earwigs go in you ear and pinch you eardrum,what will happen?????????
  Bugscope TeamThat is highly unlikely. If they were to crawl into your ear, they would probably die. And if they died, you would probably have to go to the doctor to get the dead body removed from your ear. Otherwise, a decomposing insect in your ear could cause an infection.
• Studenthow do junebugs look like
  Bugscope Teamwe can show you!
• Guestis tis an earwig head
• Studentdo they eat their own kind?
• Guestsup
• Studentwhat do they eat answer

• Guestwhat is that
• Studentwhat is that and where does it live
• Studenti

  Bugscope Teamwe have seen them before, and lots of insects have claws like that
• Studentdoes it pinch
• Studenthi
• Studentwere does it come from
  Bugscope Teamit's attached to the end of the leg. You can find a claw at the end of any insect leg, but from the naked eye they are hard to see especially on the smaller insects
• Studentis that hair around it?

• Studentwhat is on its body is it mold or dust m
  Bugscope Teamit's not mold. Mold has a different look to them and we will see mold spores. By the looks of it, it looks like plant matter and dirt
• Studenthi amir

• Studenthow long is it????
• Studentashley and noe and osc can you be my friend
• Studentwhere does this insect live
  Bugscope TeamMillipedes are not insects!! They live in moist, warm places--in soil and under logs and rocks.

• Studentwhat is that
• Studenthow do we change our names?
  Bugscope Teamyou would have to log out and then log back in again
• Studentwhat is the age of the oldest bug that lived
  Bugscope TeamIt is hard to say. Insects have been around for 380 million years!
• Studentdo bugs live mostly in the country or the city [please reply]
  Bugscope TeamInsects are found in every habitat. They are more diverse in natural settings, because there are more plants and more ecological niches for them to fill.
• Studentwhen they have there babies do they come out in eggs?
• Studentare/they/famase
• Guestdoes it bite
• Studentscot what isit
  Bugscope Teamthis is the head of a large black beetle -- the closest we could come to showing you a darkling beetle
• Studentdoes it have bones
• Studentsup melven kids
• Studenthey this questio n is for annie: does an ear wig digest by his bottom or sides or mouth or no digest??
  Bugscope TeamThe earwig has a digestive system just like we do. It eats with its mouth, the food is broken down by digestive enzymes in the gut, and whatever is left over is excreted as waste.
• Guestbestfriends
• 11:47 am
• Studenthow do you tell the difference between a female and male/??
• Studentlogut to change yuor name
• Studenthiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
• Studentis this a centip
• Guestcate does it bite
  Bugscope Teamthese can bite, but there is no poison they will inject you with, so it might be a slight pinch feeling and that's it. When you get stung or bitten by a spider, I think most of the pain comes from what they inject you with
• Studentwhat is BUGSCOPE all about?
  Bugscope TeamBugscope is a way to become interested in science that we think is fun -- we like it. You are controlling, from your classroom, a $600,000 electron microscope.
• Studentthat thing is hideous

• Studenthiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii scottttttttttttttttttt
• Studenttell us your name
• Studentwhy are most bugs hairy
  Bugscope Teamthey are hairy because the hairs help them sense their environment -- they can sense touch, and wind, and hot/cold, and they can also help them hear and also smell.
• Studento my gosh what is that???
• Studentis that a upsidedown spider
