- Bugscope Teamlet us know if you have any questions, or when you are ready to start
- TeacherNo problem! These are very different than what we looked at in my other classes. It will be good to have a variety. Maybe you can use them for another class. (If you do would you let me know?) :-)

- StudentHI
- Bugscope Teamthese are scales on one of the limbs of this true bug (Hemiptera).
- Studentdo bugs live in artic
Bugscope TeamI think they do, but they have shorter lifespans -- their lifecycle has to be accelerated a bit.
- Bugscope Teamthe scales came from another insect
- Studentwhat is this
- Bugscope Teamnice job michael!
- StudenttHANKS
- Studentthats awsome
- Studentwoa what is that
- StudentIsnt to cold for bugs to live in the artic scot

- Studentcool
- Studentcool
- Studentoh coolio! :D
- Bugscope Teamnow we are imaging the surface of the antenna
- Bugscope Teamthis is the close up of an antenna

Bugscope Teamnot hair really, it's called setae (pronounced see-tee), they help insects to sense their environment
- Studentcool
- Studentwow
- Studentwow
- StudentTHERE ARE LINES ON THE ANTENNA
- 7:33 am
- Studentwow
- Studentewww
- Studentwhat is that
- Bugscope Teami'm not sure how many species of bugs in the entire world, lots for sure, you also need to define bugs. if you mean "true bugs" there are about 40,000 species
- Studentyeah ik
- Student how big can bugs get?
Bugscope Teamabout as big as your hand, or your palm
- Studentcome on, it's cool
- Student WHAT ARE TRUE BUGS
Bugscope Teamthey are an order of insects called hemiptera, they have common mouth parts that help them to suck plants juices
- Studentthey cant get too big.
- Studentthats cool

- Studentcool
- Studentlooks like scales
- Studentcool
- Studentget closer!!!
- Studentare these sxcales
- Studentwhat are the round things ?
Bugscope Teamthose are the ommatidia -- the individual facets of the eye
- Studentawsome
- StudentThe eyes
- Bugscope Teamsome insects live for many years -- think about 17 year locusts (cicadas)
- Studentwhat is the stuff between those bubble things
- Studentis that hair sj
Bugscope Teamit's not really hair, but tiny sensory bristles called setae; of course we do call them hair. (I am sj on the other computer.)
- Bugscope Teamthose bumps on the eyes are the individual facets of the compound eye, each one contains a lens, they are called ommatidia
- Studentwhat is the pointy thing in the middle
Bugscope Teamthat's called a setae, it helps the insect to sense wind when it's flying
- Studentcool
- Studentare those germs
- Studentcool
- Studenti ike this
- Studentwhat were the hairs on the eye?
Bugscope Teamthey help it to sense wind when flying
- Studentlike this srry
- Studentwhat is that?
Bugscope Teami think that's just juju = junk, dirt, grime, stuff we aren't sure what it is
- Studentwhats ommatidia
- Studentdo bugs eyes have eye prints like humans?
Bugscope Teamthey could, in a way.
- Studentthis is sooooooo cool
- Studentnice job dober

- Studentwhat is this scot
- Studentcool
- StudentJOAN AND BERT ARE ON!!!!!!! cool
- Studentwow thats an antenna
- Studentawesome
- Studentyeah!
- Bugscope Teamthe setae we see -- the 'hairs' -- are sensory: heat, chemicals (smell), and touch.
- Studentoh cool
- StudentWhy does it have hairs on the eye?
- Studentcool
- Studentawsome
- Studentwhat is this alex
- Studentgoing to the spircle
- Bugscope TeamMaYzIe is back today.
- Studentwats the defanition of a bug?
Bugscope Teama true bug is in the order Hemiptera, and true bugs have piercing mouthparts as well as a particular orientation of the elytra and wings that I am not clear on
- Studentcooio
- StudentBTW thanks mayzie
- Studentcan we go to a different spot nash
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentthis is the spircele guys
- Studenthellow scot it is will
- Bugscope Teamah coo, this is a spiracle, this is a breathing hole!
- Studentok
- Studentwhat kind of bug is this
- Studentcool
- Studentyep and i will be for the next period scot!
- Studenthow many spiracles are there on a true bug
Bugscope Teami think there are two spiracles per body segment, usually, but you can also see them on legs too
- Studentwow thats amaizing
- Bugscope Teambugs don't breathe through their mouths like we do, they holes in their sides that air goes into
- StudentWhat is the smallest bug that you have looked at?
Bugscope Teamwell, mites are small, aphids are small, aphids are also a "true bug", but brochosomes are very very small, those are an excrement from a leafhopper
- Studentwhat is this
- Studentwhat is this alex
- Studentmoth!
- Studentoh its da true bug
- Studentwhat are those dots ?
Bugscope Teamthose are where the setae broke off
- StudentDo you put gold on the samples?
Bugscope Teamgold palladium, yes
- Bugscope Teamso we call lots of things bugs. true bugs are insects but not all insects are true bugs
- StudentJUJUJUJUJUJU!!!
Bugscope Teamthat's right!
- Studentwow
- 7:43 am
- StudentWhat are those dots ?
Bugscope Teamwhere the setae (hairs) broke off
- Studenthow many bugs have you looked at
Bugscope Teamthousands
- Studenthow much would you have to zoom to see the eye of a laf hopper
Bugscope Teamoh, 40x and on you can see the eye. but to see the brochosomes, you'd need to go up to 1000x or more
- StudentWhat is this?
- Studentwhat is that
Bugscope Teamthis is the opening where the thorax is broken, right now
- Studento so bugs do hav hair
Bugscope Teamwell, yes, but it's not hair really. they are sensory spikes that help them sense things in their environment
- TeacherGreat questions, kids!
- Studentthanks Mrs.V
- StudentCan you go to a different spot
- Studentthanks
- Studentwell yes they do noah antennae
- StudentThx mrs. V
- Studentr all of these bugs ones that u have found or ones that people send in?
- TeacherWhat is the most unusual or interesting bug that you have looked at?
Bugscope TeamI like specialized insects/arthropods: mites, weevils, ticks
- StudentHow many bugs do you study in a year scot?
- Studentcool
- Studentwhat are brochosomes
Bugscope Teamthey are produced only by the leafhopper, they help to lube their eggs i think?
- Studentcool
- Studentcool
- Studentthanjks
- StudentYEA JOAN! HUZZAH HUZZAH!
- Studentcool
- Studentwhat is this
- Studenthi everyone. this is awesome!!!!!!!
- Studentaww scot left
- Studentback
- StudentWILLL GETTING CRANKEY RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
- Bugscope Teamthis is the thorax of a moth i think
- Studentthis is really cool
- Student"what is this"
- StudentWhat r the scale things on the back?
Bugscope Teamwell, a moth has tons of scales, so those are just moth scales
- Bugscope Teamyou are all doing great, we are trying to keep up with the questions, keep em coming!
- StudentWhat is the most interesting bug that you have looked at
- TeacherJoan to drive, please. Good driving, Jordan!
- Studentscot i thought you left i would be cranky if you did
Bugscope TeamI hit the perfect combination of keys to kill Safari, not sure how
- StudentDo bugs have scales and hairs on all bugs
Bugscope Teamnot all have scales, only mosquitos, moths, butterflies, silverfish, and very few beetles/weevils
- Studentcan you put on biger animals like squirells
Bugscope Teamwell, no, i don't think you can fit a squirrel into the scope, the scope is for looking at small things
- Bugscope Teama moth can shed it's scales if it's caught in a spiders web, and it will escape
- Bugscope Teamjoan, you now have control!
- Bugscope Teamthanks, Will.
- Studentthis is awesome
- TeacherSorry, my 6-1 section has a squirrel obsession.
- StudentWOW
- Studentr all of these bugs 1's that people send in or 1's that u've found?
- Studentwats that
- Studentyes we doo
- StudentTHAT LOOKS LIKE A MUSHROOM TOP
Bugscope Teamheh, yeah
- StudentHow big is a bug head
- Studentgroos hey t
- StudentDp you have squirrel hairs?
Bugscope Teamnot personally. if someone would send them we could put them in the 'scope
- StudentWhat is the tube thing above the eyes
- Studentwhat is that thing at the top
- Studentwhat are those
- Studentsj what are those
- 7:48 am
- Studentwats the most dangerous type of bug 2 humans?
Bugscope Teamprobably overall it would be the mosquito
- Studentare those antennas
Bugscope Teamyep, good!
- TeacherGreat picture, Joan!
- Studentcan you put down human hairs on it?
Bugscope Teamsure, people have looked at human hair in electron microscopes, i think they do that in police forensics.
- StudentHow many bugs do you study in a year alex?
- Studentis that some sort of metting
Bugscope Teamit's the surface of one of the scales, which have that latticework pattern that keeps them light
- Studentreally
- Studentwhat is that it is very interesting
- Studenty?
- Studentwhat is the most dangerous and deadly bug scot
Bugscope Teammosquito, overall
- StudentWhat is the pattern to the left of the eye?
- StudentHow many bugs do you study in a year alex?
Bugscope Teamwe look at 100's of bugs for bugscope each year, a few hundred at least
- StudentWhat's the most vemimous bugs
- Studentwhat is that ?
- Studentso they are weight less?
Bugscope Teamyes having that open pattern cuts the weight down; it also forms shapes that reflect light in different wavelengths and produces structural colors, which are not pigments but colors that come from the shape of the closely aligned ribs.
- Studentso cool
- Studentseriously
- StudentHow big can a bugs head be
- Studentsj, r any of these poisiness?
- Studenthow would something on its eyes help it fly alex
- Bugscope Teamyeah, mosquitos carry disease, big time, they are nasty
Bugscope Teamwhen it is flying, the hair senses wind movement, so the fly will be able to detect wind patters, and thus can adjust it's wings or body. if a plane had that kind of control, we could fly planes all over the place all the time!!!
- Studenthow r mosquitos the most dangerous type of bug?
- StudentThats alot of bugs!!!!
- Studentit looks like a tree
- Studento
- Studentlike west nil
- Studenthello this is will i get cranky if you dont answer my questions!!!!

- Studento
- Bugscope Teambert, you've got control my man, have fun!
- Studentwats ur guess
- StudentWhat's the most harmless bug
Bugscope Teamha, good question, i really don't know. some bugs are very beneficial to plant species, like bees, they help pollinate plants and help the world, for sure.
- TeacherNoah we can look that up. Souds like a good extra credit opportunity.
- Bugscope Teamlike spiders can be poisonous, but many others can be too

- Bugscope Teamthe most venomous insect is said to be the harvester ant. ants rank high in venom toxicity
- TeacherWe had a spider on Monday. I can show you the pics in class next week.
- Studentyo alex what is this !!!!!!!!!!
Bugscope Teamthis is a spiracle, i think
- Bugscope Teamin dino times you could have insects with 15-in wingspans
- StudentHow many bees does it take to poison someone
Bugscope Teamit depends on how sensitive the person is to the sting. sorry about the copout answer
- Bugscope Teamlike very large dragonflies
- Studentis this another sppiracle?
- TeacherAgain, we can do research on dino-era bugs for extra credit. I know that some species of dragonflies were really big (1 foot wingspan?).
- Studentwer dino-time centipedes really 6-feet long
- StudentThe Asian Killer beee I think
- Studentwhere is sj
- Studenti wish we could see inside the bug
- Studentscot tell alex to answer my question
Bugscope TeamWill what was it?

- StudentBlister Beetle,Most Venomous Spider Brazilian Wandering Spider are supposedly the most posionous bugs
Bugscope Teamgood job Noah. we were avoiding counting spiders as bugs in our answer. I read that the most poisonous, or venomous insect was the harvester ant, but that is by volume of venom.
- StudentWHAT??

Bugscope Teamthe tide will change, you know

- Studenthow come you have two names sj
Bugscope TeamI was on the SEM computer when I was sj
- StudentThe most poison insect is the Sydney Funnel Web Spider
- TeacherMichael, a spider is NOT an insect.
- Student oh that makes sense
- StudentMy dad was in arizona and we were on a neglected hiking trail, when he stepped on a fireant nest.
Bugscope Teamooh that is bd
- StudentI was little and a bunch of ants crawled in my shoes and on my legs
- Studentis the common housefly dangourous?

Bugscope Teamspiders are arachnids, like ticks
- Bugscope Teambad
- Studentou=ouch!!!
- Studenthow big is the electron microscope
Bugscope Teamabout like a large desk, with a part on the side that is about 6 feet tall -- and that is a normal scanning electron microscope
- Studentis sj ur initials? wait! i am still confused! is scot annd sj the same person?!
- Studentare there really bugs like the ants in indiana jones

- StudentC o o l

- Studentwhy are the pictures in black white and gray
- TeacherSeriously, kids. No more on the sj/Scot thing. They have enought to do just answering legit questions.
- Studentis the African Cicada really almost as loud as a road drill?
Bugscope Teamhave never heard one; it sounds like an exaggeration to me
- Studentwhy are the pics not in color
Bugscope Teamwell, the microscope uses electrons to gather the image, not light, since color is a product of light frequency, and since we aren't using light, we don't have color
- StudentWHAT COLORS DO THOSE NETTING SHOW?
- Studentwhat is the biggest bud you have ever seen
- StudentWhat is the texture there?
- Studentthen the internet lies

- Studentthanks you bugscope peace out
- StudentThanks
- Studentgtg thx bye bye
- Studentthank you bug scpe peeps
- Studentbye by! adios!
- Bugscope Teamone of the tough things about Bugscope is that we do not have optimal conditions for super high magnification; we sacrifice high resolution capability for the ability to see whole insects, or at least more the insect at one time.
- Bugscope Teamyou are totally welcome, you all did GREAT!
- Bugscope TeamOh no!
- Bugscope TeamThank You!

- Bugscope Teamthis is a claw of some kind
- StudentYou guys should change mrs v to mr v
- Studentwhat is that
- Studenthow can they sense what plant is good and what plant is bad
Bugscope Teamgood question, they have setae that can smell and taste things, and they have instincts that help them to avoid things that are bad and eat things that are good. but it's not 100%, sometimes bugs eat bad things and croke
- StudentAre those hairs
Bugscope Teamyes. insects are a lot hairier than they seem
- Bugscope Teamthis is the true bug face
- StudentThanks you for bug scop bye
- StudentIS A TRUE BUG A REAL NAME FOR A TYPE OF BUG?

- Studentthose look like claws
- Studentwhat is thattt
- StudentHi Kate
- StudentThis is cool
- Studentits a blur
- Studentwow zoom in plz
- StudentHow does setae brake off
Bugscope Teamthey can be pretty stiff sometimes. Our hair are pretty flexible compared to theirs.
- Studentthese salt crystals are cool
- Studentthose look like sugar cubes
Bugscope Teamsugar cubes are cubic, but the individual sugar crystals are not cubic like that
- StudentSUGAR CUBE
- Student yes patricia
- Bugscope TeamHemiptera have piercing/sucking mouthparts and something about their elytra/wings that is specific to their order
- Studentcan juju get on salt?
- Studentcan all bugs sense things that are good and things that are bad
- Studentasamazing!
- Studentis that an eye
- Studentbig eyeball
- Studentscot were did sj go
Bugscope TeamI'm here, just logged off of the SEM computer
- StudentOh so does it have to dry up or something to break
Bugscope Teamwell, it becomes more fragile when it dries up, and when things die they dry up
- Studenthe has a really nice beard
- Student whos swish$$
- StudentWhat happened/
- Studentwat is that
- Studentanswer swish $$$ is wes
- Studento
- Student:o
- StudentWOULD A BUG DIE IF SOMETHING STABBED INTO ITS SPIRACLE?
Bugscope Teamwell, depends on how big it was, but yeah, it wouldn't be good for it
- StudentSo how do they get stiff in the first place
Bugscope Teamthey have an exoskeleton, like a coat of armore
- Bugscope Teamthis is one of the spiracles on the abdomen of the true bug
- 8:29 am
- StudentEAR
Bugscope Teamnope, bugs don't have ears, they hear through the sensory setae (hair) on their body. those setae sense vibration, which is sound
- Studentthanks for answering. I didnt have to get cranky
- Bugscope Teamarmor, sorry
- StudentIf a bug rolled in mud and blocked his spericals would it die
Bugscope Teamhmm, good question, i think eventually, with no air, yes, that would hurt the bug and it woudl die. i'm not sure mud would do that though
- Studentwow wanyan what a violent question.
- Studentdoes any type of bug not have setae
Bugscope TeamI think all insects have setae, but some more than others
- Studentso the setae is apart of the exoskelton
Bugscope Teamwell, not really. it sticks through the exoskeleton, to nerves underneath. great question trese, you rock!
- Student whats inside
Bugscope Teamspiracles are connected to trachea. The trachea is a tube that runs through the body supplying oxygen
- Studentthis lookes like a cave
- Studentgabe please zoom out
- StudentARE ANTENNAE HOLLOW?
Bugscope Teamsome are yes
- Studentwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww
- Studentokey dokey
- Studenteh eh eh eh eh e eh ehe eh eh its a party in the usa. my hands up im playin my song the butterflyies fly away eh
- Studentwho do you tell if seate is setae?
Bugscope Teamit's not that easy because even entomologists use many words interchangeably: setae, bristles, hairs, trichae, spines....
- StudentThanks i rock
- StudentPORCUPINE
- Bugscope Teamsome setae -- microsetae -- do not stick all the way through the exoskeleton and thus do not have that sensory function
- TeacherAli to drive. Well done Gabe
- StudentTRESE DOESNT ROCK AT ALL
- Studento cool
- StudentLOL
- StudentPARTY IN THE USA
- Studentlong
- Studentmy picture is not changing
Bugscope Teamtry hitting refresh, F5
- Studentuh oh
- Studentcan all setae sense things
Bugscope Teamwe think that what we call setae -- the ones that stick through the exoskeleton to the nerves beneath, are all sensory.
- StudentHOW BIG IS THIS BUG?
- Bugscope Teamif you video is not change, or black, try to refresh your browser, F5
- Bugscope Teamor reload you web page
- Studentmeow
- StudentWHAT HAPPENS WHEN TEH BUGS SETAE BREAK OFF DO THEY GROW BACK
Bugscope Teami don't think so, but there are thousands of other setae, so the others can compensate for the lost ones
- Studentthis is really cool
- StudentIf i find a dead bug and lock really closely at the exoskeleton will i be able to see the setae
Bugscope Teamyes, if you can look closely enough
- Studentmeow hiiss
- Studentv
- 8:34 am
- Bugscope Teamah, see, here is a hollow antenna
- Studentdo bugs have hair that's not setae
Bugscope Teamthey have microsetae, microtrichae, spines, etc., and to sort of contradict what I said earlier, some entomologists do have strict definitions for some of those features.
- StudentWOULD A BUG DIE IF IT ANTENNEA BROKE
Bugscope Teami don't think so, but it would be less able to do it's thang
- Studento thats cool
- Studentit just looks like a cave
- Studentlooks like my friends face
Bugscope Teamyou must have cool looking friends then
- Studentwhat is a proboscis?
Bugscope Teamit's an appendage from the head area, that usually helps manipulate food in some way
- Studentwho is me
- Studentcool
- Studentcool
- Studentcool
- Studentcool
- StudentSwish$$ wasn't here but they showed us a picture of a bug with the setae broken off and there were holes where the setae used to be
- Studentit would be less able to do it's thang'
Bugscope Teamit would be less able to sense its environment, and to get signals that would help it survive
- Studentactually no i do not
- Bugscope Teamsome spines, for example, are there to help protect the insect from being bitten, and they are not sensory.
- StudentCOOOOLLLLIIIOOOO
- Studentcool
- Studentwhos me?
- StudentWHATS A LACEWING?
Bugscope Teamit's a cool insect from the neuropteran order, it usually has very big wings, very cool looking, you've seen them before i'm sure
- StudentWhy do bugs jaws look so weird
Bugscope Teamfor one, they are sideways compared to ours
- Studenta wing
- StudentBIG BIG CLAWS
- Studentmr, hahahhahahahhah
- Studentmeow
- Studentare those compound eyes
Bugscope Teamtotally, right on gabe
- StudentBUBBLE RAP
Bugscope Teamheh, no doubt it looks like that, these are ommatidia from a compound eye
- Studentwow cool lokking legs
- Studentbubbles
- Studentbuble poping stuff
- Studenton the eggs they look like their are finger prints
Bugscope Teamthese are eyes, no eggs, but yeah, looks like finger prints, doesn't it
- Studentthis is a fly head?!
Bugscope Teami think so, yes, a close-up of the compound eye on a fly head
- Studentwhat is the longest living bug
Bugscope TeamI think probably the 17-year locust, if you count all of that larva time underground
- Studentramdoot
- StudentHow would you be able to show us the color of different bugs
Bugscope Teamwell, we don't get color in an electron microscope, but one can add color later, based on elemental analysis of the image, we've done that in the past before
- StudentTHANKS ALEXSXS AND WHERE IS CATE
- Studentis cate back on
- Bugscope Teamyeah im here
- 8:39 am
- Studentwow 17 year old bug
- TeacherTrese to drive
- Studentwhere do they live

- Bugscope Teamok, trese has control of the scope
- Studentmr v never talks
Bugscope Teammr v is an awesome teacher, you all are lucky
- StudentTRESE IS GONNA KILL US BY CRASHING
Bugscope Teami think trese is smarter than that

- Studenti know
- Studentdont
- Bugscope Teamgood gob driving trese
- Studentwowossie! cool clawws
- Studentwats that cord?
- Studentdoes a bug have to be dead to have setae fall off
Bugscope Teamno they can bust off in real life
- Bugscope Teamthis is probably a plant fiber
- StudentSee Swish$$ heres where the setae broke off
- StudentLOOKS LIKE THE BREAST CANCER SIGN
Bugscope Teamvery astute observation there, swish
- 8:44 am
- Studentcool
- Bugscope Teamhere they may have been scraped off by the person who mounted the moth
- Studentwow this moth lost alot of setae!
Bugscope Teamyeah total devastation here
- Studentscot... i think you are some how vrery distant byt still related to me. are you related to allswedee or have you passed through allswedeshire
Bugscope TeamI'll have to ask my mom; she does all the genealogy stuff
- Studentwat r those holes
Bugscope Teamwhere the setae broke off
- Studenthow long do you guys sit here and do bug scope a day, alex and cate?
Bugscope Teamno no, we do 3 bugscope sessions a week, and the other times we are working at our normal jobs

- Bugscope Teamthe palp has a pore in it that looks like a spiracle
- Studentdid patrick type anyting
- Studentthanks alex is the nice one
Bugscope Teamyeah Alex is a good dude
- Studenthow does this microscope of yours work?
Bugscope Teamwe have the samples in a vacuum chamber, and they have been coated with gold-palladium to make them conductive. then we beam electrons at them, and secondary electrons come back from the conductive coating and hit that detector we see top right in the image.
- Studentcool I'm almost ready to drive
- 8:49 am
- Studentmeow! tehhe
- StudentWYAN DON'T CRASH AND KILLS US ALL
- Studenttehe meow!
