• Bugscope Teamman I gotta learn to type
• Bugscope TeamPretty much the same as when you left

• Bugscope Teamwasp was fraternizing w leafhoppers
• 5:32 pm
• Bugscope Teamyeah he's oozing them
• Bugscope TeamWill you watch for Joanne? And Jon et al.?
• Bugscope TeamYeah, they logging in from home?
• Bugscope Teamno either should be showing up
• Bugscope Teamlike, Jon and Gail and Owen, and perhaps Joanne, separately.
• Bugscope TeamAlright, I'll keep my eyes peeled
• Bugscope TeamCool, Thanks

• Bugscope TeamI'll drive for a minute
• Bugscope TeamHave a look around
• Bugscope TeamCool

• 5:37 pm

• Bugscope TeamPsedoscorpion
• Bugscope Teampseudo

• Bugscope TeamYeah they're neat. Kind of a let down on the no-stinger. I guess that's why you pay extra for the non-pseudo model

• Bugscope Teamwe just didn't have any scorps
• Bugscope TeamWhat a neat body shape

• Bugscope TeamSo are those wings? It looks like they separate?

• Bugscope TeamRob brought this over, plus the pseudoscorpion, plus the woodlouse

• Bugscope TeamI dunno.

• Bugscope TeamLike I don't know if these guys fly or not.

• Bugscope Teamthe head is pretty rad-looking

• Bugscope TeamNeat eyes

• Bugscope Teamit has sort of terrestrial eyes

• 5:42 pm

• Bugscope TeamYou think that's fungus?

• Bugscope TeamHah, he's got like a hood up there too

• Bugscope Teamon the sides there
• Bugscope TeamCool. Are they like ladybugs where the wings are underneath the covers?

• Bugscope TeamI am trying to read about them but most of the stuff online is about controlling them. they are serious plant pests
• Bugscope TeamGot some chow, going to eat up before 6. You've got control back
• Bugscope Teamawesome

• 5:49 pm
• Bugscope TeamScott, we've got some journalism students here, I'm gunna grab control
• Bugscope TeamCool

• Bugscope TeamHi Cate!

• Bugscope TeamHello!

• Bugscope Teamhey thought id see what was going on

• Bugscope TeamThis is a pseudoscorpion, as close as we could get to a scorpion, which we have looked at before. They're not as interesting.
• Bugscope TeamLooks like we are in good shape, Cate.
• Bugscope TeamThis is super cool

• Bugscope Teamlittle setae so it can feel what it is touching

• Bugscope Teamthese guys are all pinchers, all the time

• Bugscope Teamlike the worm's mouths in tremors

• Bugscope Teamyeah it looks like they taste with these

• 5:55 pm

• Bugscope TeamAlright, it's starting to get crazy
• Bugscope Teamgnarly

• Bugscope Teamit has started
• Bugscope TeamJust had the student over here controlling who collected these psuedoscorpions

• Bugscope TeamThese sensory hairs are really neat

• Bugscope TeamI got an image of a mite shedding its skin -- molting -- the other day. it looked like it was taking its sweater off

• Bugscope Teamthat is what this reminds me of, because the setae remain intact and the shed cuticle comes off around them

• Bugscope Teamoh wow

• Bugscope Teamwe've got someone who wants to drive

• Bugscope Team'bout time... ;)

• Bugscope TeamOOF
• Bugscope TeamHey kids
• Bugscope TeamAnnie!

• Bugscope TeamHI!

• 6:00 pm

• Bugscope TeamAnnie I am at Beckman; Alex, Chas, and Leilei are at Foellinger; and Cate did the setup and then took Zoey home, where she is nwo.

• Bugscope TeamSo we're all admins...
• Bugscope Teamum, 'now.'
• Bugscope TeamIt is all admin chat today
• Bugscope Teamyeah it wouldn't work very well
• Bugscope TeamIs it appropriately freezing??
• Bugscope TeamSomeone just told us Bugscope was on PBS
• Bugscope Teamnot so bad, a little chilly
• Bugscope Teamreally?
• Bugscope TeamUIUCnet knocked me off
• Bugscope Teamhahah
• Bugscope Teamnice.
• Bugscope Teamwe are back though, didn't have to relogin
• Bugscope Teamdo we have both computers running Bugscope?
• Bugscope TeamAny details about Bugscope on PBS?
• Bugscope Teamwe were on NPR in 1999

• Bugscope Teamthis is a very old specimen, back when they were using square-cut pins

• Bugscope Teamlike Geo Washington times
• Bugscope Teambusted big holes in the thorax

• 6:05 pm
• Bugscope TeamI dug up a giant shubbery from my yard today....

• Bugscope TeamIs this a horse fly?

• Bugscope Teamit's some kinda bee mimic

• Bugscope Teamreally looks like a bee, but has halteres

• Bugscope Teamahhh, the one that Cate caught
• Bugscope Teamyeah I don't see how the proboscis works

• Bugscope Teamha a shrubbery

• Bugscope Teamnice claws!

• Bugscope TeamI squashed but two today
• Bugscope Teambaby Jackalope here
• Bugscope TeamBut I was putting the hurt on snails
• Bugscope TeamDid you save the rest for me?

• Bugscope TeamI think fleas are so cool to look at
• Bugscope TeamI didn't see any others...hahaha

• Bugscope Teamthey are really mechanical looking
• Bugscope TeamWhen I have a shovel, I don't have vials

• Bugscope TeamCtenocephalitis
• Bugscope Teamheh
• Bugscope Teamhi scott!
• Bugscope TeamHello!
• Bugscope Teamor is it Ctenocephalites?

• Bugscope Teamprob'ly the latter -- the first is a disease, I bet

• 6:10 pm
• Bugscope Teamsounds like

• Bugscope Teamocelli

• Bugscope TeamAre the halteres neat on the fruit fly?
• Bugscope TeamThey look like little punching bags, usually

• Bugscope Teamlooks like one on the left
• Bugscope Teamrootin' tootin' frootin' fly
• Bugscope Teamjust the punching bag part
• Bugscope Teamare the hypertrophied mechanoreceptors visible?
• Bugscope TeamI don't know why I just said that
• Bugscope Teamnot on this one

• Bugscope Team'cause you're in California?
• Bugscope Teamthere you go
• Bugscope TeamNice!

• Bugscope Teamcan you guys loick the session if you are going to drive

• Bugscope Teamor wait, should i login as a teacher
• Bugscope Teamdo you want to drive? go ahead!

• 6:15 pm
• Bugscope Teamyoung driver?

• Bugscope Teamthe other haltere is not deflated like that one

• Bugscope Teamya

• Bugscope Teamthere we go...

• Bugscope Teama palm frond -- this was a martyr

• Bugscope Teamnice

• Bugscope TeamThis driver seems to have done this before!

• Bugscope TeamI think this is a robber fly.
• Bugscope Teamreally?
• Bugscope Teamit looks so sweet

• 6:20 pm

• Bugscope Teamrobber flies are mean little dudes

• Bugscope Team(I am Scot and home base)

• Bugscope TeamThey can't move their heads

• Bugscope Teamlike Cimex; they just drive their head and proboscis right into you
• Bugscope Teamlooks like this preset moved

• Bugscope Teamyeah sorry that preset had moved since it was made
• Bugscope Teamjust to show people that these are not canned images

• Bugscope Teamsomeone is doing a good job drivin'

• 6:25 pm

• Bugscope Teammicrosetae on the wing

• Bugscope TeamYou can't prove otherwise.

• Bugscope TeamI also believe in ghosts...and jaberwocks..and...

• Bugscope Teamsomeone is holding a board with photos on it in front of a TV camera, and moving the board around

• Bugscope Teamhahahah

• Bugscope Teampretty soon we'll see the Apollo astronauts

• Bugscope TeamI also think that this experience would be improved if we had a video chat

• Bugscope Teamyou are feisty, Annie

• Bugscope TeamPeriplaneta
• Bugscope TeamEnd of the world...whew, back to the cockroach

• Bugscope TeamThey look so much like mantids
  Bugscope Teamyeah they do
• Bugscope Teamtorx

• 6:30 pm
• Bugscope Teamcrashed

• Bugscope Teamit was amazing how much the mites looked like ticks, and like spiders

• Bugscope TeamThe setate on the mite that looked just like spider setae is what impressed me the most...
• Bugscope Teamcrash again?

• Bugscope Teamfull crash
• Bugscope Teamno

• Bugscope Teamlocked up the stage
• Bugscope Teamthis is cool
• Bugscope Teamtwo sizes of brochs on a mold spore, on a wasp

• Bugscope Teamwe need to login as teacher/student
• Bugscope Teamscott

• Bugscope TeamAlex you are in blue -- a student!

• Bugscope Teamnow a guest with control

• 6:36 pm

• Bugscope Team200,000x

• Bugscope TeamDo you have this under control?
  Bugscope TeamSure
• Bugscope Teamhey Annie Thank You!

• Bugscope TeamIf I am ready early, I will log back in

• Bugscope TeamHave fun!
• Bugscope Team ;)

• Bugscope Teamragweed pollen

• Bugscope TeamThanks!

• Bugscope TeamWe are more than an inch from the polepiece, so the high mag images don't have the resolution they could.

• Bugscope Teamthis is 200,000x again

• Bugscope TeamJoanne may be there around 7:30, you guys...

• 6:41 pm

• Bugscope Teammandible

• Bugscope Teamsetae on the mandible of the wasp
• Bugscope Teamwith some juju on them

• Bugscope Teamshould be some placoid sensilla on the antennae

• Bugscope Teamyay!

• Bugscope Teambrochosomes

• 6:46 pm
• Bugscope Teamragweed pollen

• Bugscope Teammaking my eyes itch

• Bugscope Teamthe tongue has little flat tenent setae on it like tarsi often do

• Guestscott, what is a bee mimic?
• Guestwe are curious...
• Guestscott, can you give chas contorl please?
• Guestscott can I have control?
• Bugscope Teamthis is a fly that evolved to look like a bee, so that other insects do not bother it
• Guestscott!?!?!?!?
• Bugscope Teamheh
• Guestwow, cool scott, thanks
• 6:51 pm
• Gueststephs dad is here
• Guestand younger brother

• Bugscope Teamyou can tell this is a fly because it has two wings and halteres

• Bugscope Teambees and wasps have four wings

• Guestmary kay says hi scott

• Bugscope Teamthese ridges are about 2 microns wide -- the width of a bacterium

• Bugscope Teamthe width of the length of a bacillus bacterium

• Bugscope Team87,000x

• Bugscope Teamthe beam is distorting the sample
• Bugscope Teamthe electron beam is burning the sample here, at 175,000x
• Bugscope Team175,284x

• Bugscope Teammold spore

• 6:56 pm
• Bugscope Teamwith two sizes of brochosomes on it

• Bugscope Team200,000x

• Bugscope TeamThey don't look so good because the sample is so far from the polepiece

• Bugscope Teamif we were close the images would look better but you would not be able to go to very low magnification

• Bugscope Teamwasp head

• Bugscope Teamthis is one of the mandibles, and now you see the tongue and some palps

• Bugscope Teamthose flat curled setae are parts of the tongue, which is in bees called a glossa

• Guesti'm losing my voice :(
  Bugscope Teamsorry DaddyO

• Bugscope Teampseudoscorpion

• Bugscope Teamsee how small it is?

• 7:01 pm

• Bugscope Teamthis is a lacebug, which is a plant pest

• Bugscope Teamjackalope

• Bugscope Teamocelli

• Bugscope Teamthese are accessory eyes

• Bugscope Teamthese, now, are compound eyes, with little bristles sticking up between them
• Bugscope Teamlittle setae
• Guestscott, can you give me control please?
• Bugscope Teamgot it hOlmes
• Guestthank dude

• Bugscope Teamthis is one of the antennae
• 7:06 pm

• Bugscope Teamare you counting the ommatidia?

• Bugscope Teamthis is the fruit fly compound eye...

• Bugscope Teamthis is the central portion of the head of the pseudoscorpion

• Bugscope Teamlooks like a trigger hair

• Bugscope Teamit is really tiny

• Bugscope Teamthey look cooler, more interesting, than scorpions we have seen
• 7:12 pm

• Guestdude we forgot bugscope flyers
• Guestlots of people are asking for some kind of pamphlet
• Guestcan you give chas control
• Guestplease
• Guesta student wants to look at a compound eye
• Guestthanks scott

• Bugscope Teambee right back

• Guestokay molms

• Guestholms

• Bugscope Teamokay back...
• 7:17 pm
• Bugscope Teamso is it busy there?
• Guesta lul right now but it's been packed
• Guestlull?
• Bugscope Teamyeah
• Guestcan i have control again please

• Bugscope TeamStephanie Dold's dad and brother were there?

• Guestscott, can you kill alex, cites hosed my connection again

• Bugscope TeamAlex is gone.
• Bugscope Teamnice haltere
• Guestthanks man

• Bugscope Teamcomb

• Bugscope Teammuch like that of an ant

• Bugscope Teamhymenopterans
• 7:22 pm

• Bugscope Teamthis wasp really got around

• Bugscope Teamled a full life

• Guestscott, can chas control please

• Bugscope TeamChas has control. Do you mean Stop Driving?
• Bugscope Teamthis is the arolium
• Bugscope Teamthe part in between the claws

• Guestis that a mite?
• Bugscope TeamI think it is an egg of some sort
• Guestcoolness
• 7:27 pm
• Guestdude, we've had some great questions from some cool people
• Bugscope Teamusually mites are larger, although there are super tiny mites too
• Guestwe are telling them: google -> bugscope
• Bugscope TeamI think that is the best way to get to us, since the pamphlet is outdated anyway; we need to re-do it

• Bugscope Teampseudoscorpions are predators, but their prey must be very small
• Bugscope Teamthey could eat mites

• Bugscope Teamand those are pedipalps, in the middle
• Bugscope Teamlike jaws
• Bugscope Teamthey have eyes on the side of the thorax, not sure we can see them
• Bugscope Teamthey also produce webs -- they have spinnerets
• Bugscope Teamand I should have said cephalothorax, like a spider's
• Guestcan i have control again please
• Guestscoot
• Guestthanks dudeness
• Bugscope Teamthere you do DaddyO
• Bugscope Teamgo
• Bugscope Teamotherwise it doesn't rhyme

• 7:33 pm

• Bugscope Teamfine setae -- microsetae -- on the wings

• Bugscope Teambelow where we are now

• Bugscope Teambetter better better
• Bugscope Teamgood job

• Bugscope Teamthose are not sensory setae

• Guestpretty quiet at the moment, the movie might have just started

• Bugscope TeamI think the microsetae help add surface area, and they also probably help keep the wings from sticking to things when they get wet

• Bugscope Teamcool
• Bugscope Teamthere were supposed to be some nice 'shorts' before the first movie

• Bugscope Teamthis roach has only one of those cerci
• 7:38 pm

• Bugscope Teamsculpted claw

• Bugscope Teamthe pseudoscorpion looks like Popeye, and this looks like an anchor

• Bugscope Teamhow is Leilei? Did he get his face painted?

• Guestscott, looks like my control is gone
• Guesti'm trying to clicjon preset 1 its failing

• Bugscope Teamit's not working from here either

• Guestokay, we'll wait till it's fixed

• Bugscope Teamthe wasp tongue is like those large flat cloth ribbons at an automated car wash

• Bugscope Teamthis is the leading edge of the hindwing
• Bugscope Teamwith hamuli
• Bugscope Teamon the wasp

• Bugscope Teamthis is a martyred insect
• Bugscope Teamwith a palm frond on it
• Bugscope Teamlike a painting of a saint

• Bugscope Teamdisguised as a bee

• Bugscope Teamthis is a very old sample, from George Washington's time, when they used to make their own insect pins.
• Bugscope Teamlike cut nails
• Bugscope Teamyou can see where the square cut nail/pin pierced the thorax
• 8:32 pm
• Guestso who gave us this sample?
• Bugscope TeamCate had it.
• Bugscope TeamI think it came from Annie's collection.

• Guestso they're really that old? Where'd she get them?
• Bugscope Teamsorry I was jokng because the hole in the thorax is square

• Bugscope Teamthis shows you that we're looking at a fly
• Bugscope Teamrather than a bee, that this resembles
