• Guestwhat is this?
• Studentyea luke
• 9:01 am
• Bugscope TeamLuke you are the supreme ruler, dude
• GuestChaos how did you decide to work at bugscope?
  Bugscope TeamI got hired in 1998 to help start it

• Guestwhat is a earwig ?
  Bugscope Teamthey are those skinny pincher bugs you find when you pick up a rock
• TeacherHello I am the science teacher working with the computer teacher
• Guestoh okay

• GuestHow long have you worked at Beckman Institute?
• Studenthi karla
• Guesthi mommy
• TeacherAre we working with an insect?
  Bugscope Teamthis is an insect larva, but I am sorry we don't know what kind it is
• Guesthi Cate
• Bugscope TeamLuke you should see controls on the top right, and you can click on any one of the presets to go to that place on the stub
• StudentTAKE IT BACK
• Guestwhar does it take to get into bugscope

• Guestwhat is this
• Bugscope TeamOkay I gave Mrs Belz control
• Studentwhat insect is this?
  Bugscope TeamDude we don't know -- it is a larval stage, like a caterpillar
• Studentcan we have the microscope?
  Bugscope TeamMrs Belz has it now
• Student(jeremy asked that)
• Guestwhat are the spikes on his back?
  Bugscope Teamthey keep other insects and birds from biting it
• Studentdo you have multiple scopes up?
• Guestare the spikes hair
• Guestwat does it take to gt into bugscope
  Bugscope Teamyou mean to be on the team?
• Guestthat is cool
• Guestwho sent this in
  Bugscope Teamwe had this in a jar with a bunch of other ones. I don't know where it came from though
• GuestWhat's the most interesting bug you have seen or discovered using the microscope?
  Bugscope Teamwe have seen some beautiful beetles, and mites, and weevils, and flies... it is hard to think of the coolest
• GuestHow long have you been working here?
• Guestyes
• StudentDID I HURT THE MICROSCOPE
  Bugscope Teamno you didnt
• TeacherWhat are the phangs coming out of his mouth
  Bugscope Teamthose are palps -- they are used to help taste and manipulate food into the mouth
• Studenthow can you hurt the microscope
  Bugscope Teamyou could jam the specimen into the pullpiece (where the beam comes out)
• StudentCan we have the microscope?
• Studentmrs. belz look at preset 13 or 14
• Guestok
• GuestChaos what are the spikes on the bugs back??
  Bugscope Teamthose are likely defensive -- to keep birds from eating the larva -- and also to help keep parasitic wasps at bay
• Guestwhere are the eyes
• Guestwho started the institute ?
• Bugscope Teambut really you wouldnt be able to do that with bugscope
• Studentwhat are the spikes on its back?
  Bugscope Teamthose are probably for defensive measures. Things will be less likely to eat it when there are spikes
• Studentok
• StudentCan we see a mosquito?
  Bugscope Teamwe have a couple on here
• Guestwat does it take to get on the team of bugscope
• Bugscope Teamwe've made it break proof for the most part

• TeacherCan you swithc the microscope to Curry
  Bugscope TeamCurry has it
  Bugscope Teamcurry has control
• Studentwhat are the hairs on its legs?
  Bugscope Teaminsects have lots of hairs on them. They are called setae when found on bugs. since all bugs have a hard exoskeleton that can't feel anything, they need some way to sense their environment. that's where the setae come in. they are sensory organs that stick through the exoskeleton and attach to nerves underneath
• Studentya
• Guestwhat is the most interesting bug you have ever seen with bugscope
  Bugscope Teamactually we saw some really cool mites that were shedding their cuticle, like slipping out of a t-shirt

• GuestWhat is this?

• Studentwhy a moth, riley
• Studenthow often do they go into this period of innactivity?
  Bugscope Teamif they are day insects like bees, they will go into the state of *torpor* (i spelled it wrong before sorry) all night and 'wake' in the morning. I think night insects like moths are the opposite
• Studenti wish i could do that... just watch tv not need to go to sleep heheh

• Guestthis is SO cool!!!
• Guesthow do males eat and what
  Bugscope Teamsome males dont eat anything. They die after mating. Other males will eat nectar

• StudentWhy do only females need blood?
  Bugscope Teamthe females need the blood in order to successfully lay their eggs -- they need the protein in the blood
• StudentCate, do you look at anything other than bugs?
• StudentHow big is the microscope?
• Guestwhat made want to join buscope cate
• StudentHOW DID YOU GET THE MONEY FOR THE SCOPE?
  Bugscope Teamwe got a grant from the National Science foundation

• Guestcate, what is the most common species of insect?
• GuestCOOL
• Studentwhat is this bug
• StudentCool!

• Guestdo females mate with diffrent species of insects
  Bugscope Teamno not very often does that happen. Usually they will be attracted to their own species by the sounds or chemicals the males make
• StudentOh, Eveything makes sense now.
• Guestwhat's the strings?
• 9:31 am
• TeacherCan Madeleine have the microscope
  Bugscope Teamsorry we just got to changing the controls to her
• StudentWhat are we looking at right now? Are those hairs? They look like grass.

• Guestneat!
• Studentdis is amazing the coolist one EVER.

• Guestcate: is the institute about bugs?
  Bugscope Teamno, it's about different science projects. Where I work in the building has different kinds of microscopes. We don't just do bugscope all day. We also image different kinds of samples like carbon nanotubes or microchips.

• Studentso how do the rolly pollys breath do they have lungs too?
  Bugscope Teamapparently the gills allow them to breathe air -- like crabs that live on the land
• StudentWhat are we looking at right now?
• StudentOS THIS A HEAD

• Guestwhat are pill bugs?
• StudentIF YOU COULD HAVE A BILLION DOLLARS AND CHOOSE A NEW MICROSCOPE OR EVERY BUG IN THE WORLD. WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE!?!?

  Bugscope TeamI like learning new things so what better project than bugscope, where I am always learning it feels like
• Guestis this bug is a shell
  Bugscope Teamyou know all insects have an exoskeleton, so they all have shells, in that way

• StudentHOW MANY SCOPES DO YOU HAVE AT THE INSTITUTE
  Bugscope Teamwe have maybe 15 down here, and there are more throughout the building, but ours are generally better, more versatile

  Bugscope Teamwe have helped entomologists take the images that allow them to describe new species
• StudentIf You Drowned A Rolley Poley What Would Happn?
  Bugscope Teamit would probably not drown

• TeacherCan Noah have the microscope
• Guestdo we have a rolly polly we can look at?
  Bugscope Teamno sorry.
