• 12:25 pm
• Bugscope TeamHey Clarebear

• GuestHi - glad that I was able to log on as a guest - what are we looking at?
• Bugscope Teamthis is a spider face -- a female spider of some sort

• Guestwhat kind of fly is this?
• Bugscope TeamWe're setting up for today's session, which starts at 1 our time.
• Bugscope Teamthis is a big kind of weird-looking housefly
• 12:31 pm

• 12:39 pm

• 12:44 pm

• 12:49 pm

• 12:55 pm

• Bugscope TeamWe are ready to roll!
• Bugscope TeamClare you should be able to see the chat, and the list of names to the left of the image, the image itself, and the presets we just made, to the right of the chat. When we give someone control of the 'scope, that person can also see the controls, to the right of the image.
• 1:01 pm
• Guest I can see everything, thanks.
• Guesthey
• Bugscope TeamHello Darksidesdestiny!
• Bugscope TeamWelcome to bugscope!
• GuestHello
• Bugscope TeamHello Ms Louise!
• GuestWhat's this
• Bugscope Teamwhich I don't think this one is
• Studentwhat am i looking at
• Student?!?!?!?!?!
• Studenthello!
• Bugscope Teamthis is one of the legs of a spider. all spiders are venomous, but some are worse than others, as Cate said.
• GuestWhat kind of spider is this :o
  Bugscope Teamwe aren't very good at identifying spiders, but it was probably a wolf spider
• Studentyea does it have venom
• Guestwhich spider?
• Bugscope Teamwe are looking at one of the legs, below the joint
• Studentwhat are the pointy thingys?
  Bugscope Teamthat's right the pointy things are hairs, or setae
• Studenthairs
• Studenthi
• Studentsup jordan
• Guesta wolf spider
• Studentits a spider
• Studentlol
• Studentlook at this bug
• Student??
• Bugscope Teamthe pointy thingys are setae -- little hairlike projections that help the spider sense vibration, and touch
• Studentof which animal
• Studentno
• Guest But what are it's characteristics
  Bugscope Teamit has a head and torso in one, called a cephalothorax, and an abdomen, and eight legs
• Studentyea
• Guesthello
• Studentwhat are the wholes>
• StudentHiiii
• Teacherplease let amber drive the microscope
  Bugscope Teamamber has control
• Studentstalker
• Guestwhat kind of bug is this
  Bugscope Teamwe are still on the spider
• Studentcan it kill ?
  Bugscope Teamyes it can kill -- it injects venom into its prey, and the venom dissolves the internal organs, which it then sucks back up, like a milkshake. that is how almost all spiders feed
• 1:06 pm
• Bugscope Teamthe cephalothorax is hardened, but the abdomen is soft and shrivels when the spider dies
• StudentDo u kill animals
• Studenttoo bad
• GuestWhat do those "hairs" do?!?!
  Bugscope Teamthe hairs are sensory -- the help the spider sense vibration, touch, and sometimes smell
• Studentwhat are the wholes in the leg of this spider?
  Bugscope Teamthose are places where the setae (hairs) popped out

• Studentwhat is this

• StudentDo these hairs poisin uu
  Bugscope Teamsome spiders also have what are called 'urticating hairs' that they release when you get too close -- they are irritating but not poisonous.
• Guestwhat is this bugs specalties

• Studentlook at this dinosour

• StudentCAN IT KILL ANYTHING
  Bugscope Teamsmaller insects
• Studentyay

• StudentSo they dont kill uu
• StudentTHE SPIDRE

• GuestWhat else is in the image?
• Studentnow it looks like a leg

• Studentfriends

• Bugscope TeamAmber you also have the ability to click on any of the presets to go to those other places on the stub.
• Studenterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
• Guestwhich bugs does it eat
  Bugscope Teamthey eat whatever they can. I am not sure, as was asked earlier, how they do against praying mantises
• Studenterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
• Studentrawhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
• Studenterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
• StudentWhat are these things that i am luking at scot

• Studentwhat is this?
• GuestWhat is this?
  Bugscope Teamthese are salt crystals fromw endy's
• StudentWhat is that
• Guestwhat is inside of this
• Studentwendy's salt??
• Studentwhat exactly does this bug eat cate????
  Bugscope Teamthis one doesn't but the spider eats insects like flies or small beetles
• Studentwhat bug is this
• Studentwhy r we lookin at salt

• StudentUmm thanks scot and im nicole
• Teacherplease let angela drive
  Bugscope Teamangela has control
• 1:11 pm
• Studentwho's wendy?
• Studenty r wi lookin at salt
  Bugscope Teamthis shows that we dont have to look at only insects in the microscope and that this in particular is special because it looks like it is aztec
• Studentthats scott and by the way im tatyana diaz
• GuestIn THIS image why are these salt crystels cubes
  Bugscope Teamsalt, which is sodium chloride, forms cubic crystals; compare it to sugar, which does not naturally form into tiny cubic crystals
• Student????????????????????????????????????????????????????
• GuestScot whats inside of these
• StudentIss it in the stomach
• Studentokk thank you cate
• Student:)

• StudentWHAT IS THAT
• Guestwhats this
• StudentIs that the hair

• StudentIS IT ALIVE
• Studentwhat bug is this
• StudentWhat is that
  Bugscope Teamwe were on another similar spider and looking at its eyes

• Bugscope Teamthe salt from Wendy's has this cool incised appearance like Aztec sculpture.

• StudentIS IT ALIVE
  Bugscope Teamnone of what is in the microscope today is alive

• StudentIS IT A SACK
• Studentiu just changed mine
• Bugscope Teamnow this is on a moth
• Guestwhat is this
• Studentmold spores on moth eyes
• Studenti was tatyx3
  Bugscope Teamcool so you are still Tatyana...
• GuestWhat are those patterns
  Bugscope Teamthose were the dots that make up the surface of the compound eye

• StudentTHANKS ARRAN
• StudentSo are u doing these things right now or u did this long time ago
  Bugscope Teamwe mounted the samples on a stub and coated them with gold-palladium, and we put them in the 'scope today; then we found these cool places for you to drive to, but you can go anywhere you want
• Studentlooks like a human
• StudentIT LOOKS LIKE A HUMAN
• Studentyes
• GuestScot what is this
  Bugscope Teamthis is a ladybug larva

• Studentwhat is this
• Studentwhat Is this is it a insect fighting
  Bugscope Teamnothing it probably just ended up drying in that position, but it did like to eat aphids when it was alive

• StudentIs it lyke a red ladybug
• Bugscope Teamthis is what ladybugs look like when they are young, before they turn into beetles
• GuestWhat part is this?!

• StudentIT LOOKS LIKE A MONSTER

• Guestcan larva look different from its parents

• Student:B

• Teacherplease let arron drive

• Teachersorry aaron
  Bugscope Teamaaron has control

• Studentwhy does it look so different than a ldy bug ????(cate,scotj,scot, and chaos
  Bugscope Teamit is a larva, like a caterpillar compared to a butterfly; it's what they look like before they metamorphose into little beetles -- the ladybugs
• 1:16 pm
• GuestWhat's this?
• StudentWhats this
• Guestits a moths wing
  Bugscope Teamit's a scale on the moth wing-- one scale

• StudentAre these things found on the land or somewere else
  Bugscope Teamon the land or in the air, although some insects have a phase in which they in the water
• Guestits amazing
• Studentwhat is this
• StudentIs that vits eyes
• Guesta
• Guest COLLOLR WILL THISS REFLECT
  Bugscope TeamI am not sure -- I think this was a brown moth, so not so interesting
• Guestisnt this a moths scale, Scot?
  Bugscope Teamyes it is! one of the wing scales
• Studentwhat is this
• GuestWhat is this incect? What part?
  Bugscope Teamthis is a single scale from a wing
• GuestNO CO MENT
• Studenthii again itz tatyana
• Guestit looks scaled
• Studenti keep chnging mine because it keeps signing me outt
  Bugscope Teamyeah I am not sure why it is doing that; we will have to check
• StudentTaty go away
• Guestit lookzz funny
• Guestthis bug is cool
• Guestit looks like a net

• GuestHI
• Studentokk
• Bugscope Teamscales are also the same stuff that rubs off on your fingers when you touch their wings- the powdery stuff
• GuestIs this a beetle?
  Bugscope Teamthey are called hemipterans, although they look like beetles
• Bugscope Teamthis is not very well preserved, but you can see its proboscis, much like a bedbug's
• Guestwhat bug is this?
• Studentit was tatyx3
• Guestwhat bug is this
  Bugscope Teamscott things this is a bed bug, and it could be
• Studentwhat bug is this??
  Bugscope Teamit's some kinda true bug, and it looks like a bedbug
• Student(cate and scotj)
• GuestHi im a bug reashcer
  Bugscope Teamcool!
• Guesttrue bug?
  Bugscope Teamyes it's a type of bug that resembles a beetle and has a long proboscis it uses to drink from plants or other insects
• Studentilee
• 1:21 pm
• Teacherplease let taty drive
• Studentwhat is a true bug
• GuestWhat of hemipteran is it
• Studentcan a bug that is not posonist give u a infection
  Bugscope Teammosquitos are the deadliest insect because they can give you many different diseases and ticks carry stuff too
• Studentwhat is a true bugg
  Bugscope Teamtrue bugs are called Hemiptera, and they all have piercing/sucking mouthparts like this one; they also have half membranous wings
• GuestCan a bug raise from the dead
  Bugscope Teamwe can freeze them sometimes and they will wake up, but they didn't really die
• Bugscope TeamTaty is the supreme ruler now.

• Studentyay mee
• StudentWhat is this
• StudentIS THAT A WHOLE?
  Bugscope Teamyeah it is a broken area in the thorax

• Studentthanks
• Studentso its dead right
  Bugscope Teamyes all of these are dead
• Studentwhat if we were froze would we cme back jus like bugs
• Studentwhats inside of the whole?
• Student???
• Studentso does it given the bug a problem
  Bugscope Teamyeah it won't live with a big hole in it
• Guestwhat about the abdomin Scot?
  Bugscope Teamthe abdomen is a little further south, a little more to the bottom

• Studentwill the bug die now thatit has a whole?
  Bugscope Teamit had a hole in it because a student stuck it to a board for their project at one point and then later donated it to us
• Studentso does it die right away'

• GuestWHY that area is broken though it's the 3rd segement that's soft enough to break?

• Bugscope Teamso it has been long dead
• Guestis any thing wrong with its abdomin?
• Studentkwho donated to uu
• Studenti didn't kno it had claws where are their claws?
  Bugscope Teamthey are at the end of their legs.. insects have them at the ends of each of their legs too
• Teacherplease let msjuicifruitdrive
  Bugscope Teamthey have control

• GuestIs the claw that big thing in the middle of those hairs
  Bugscope Teamyes it is!
• Studenteven daddy long legs have claws?
  Bugscope TeamDaddyLongLegs have sort of wimpy little curly tips to their legs, but they have pincers on their heads
• 1:27 pm
• GuestIs the claw sturdy
• Studentwhat it thiss
• Student????

• GuestWhat's that?
  Bugscope Teamthis is sugar, which does not form cubes, not naturally
• Studentis the sugars different from the salts
  Bugscope Teamyes. sugar isn't really cubic, they can be more rectangular or have more sides than that. Salt will always be cubic
• Studentwhat is this image
• GuestHow are the salts and the sugar different?
  Bugscope Teamthey are made of different chemicals, of course, and they form different shapes -- so these are like dodecahedrons or something -- they have many facets
• GuestWhy not naturally?
• Studentdoes the sugar help the insectsa
• Studentwhat if we were froze would we cme back to like like bugs do???( cate or scotj)
• Studentisnt it salt?

• Teacherplease let rainbow drive
  Bugscope Teamrainbow has control
• Bugscope Teamhere are the spider eyes
• Guestdoes this salt attract bugs
  Bugscope TeamI am not sure if salt attracts bugs, but sometimes water does

• StudentWHAT DOES SUGAR HAVE TO DO WITH BUGS?
  Bugscope Teamnothing, just thought it would be fun to look at :)

• Bugscope Teamthis is the face of the moth
• Guestwhy does water attract bugs
  Bugscope Teamwell some insects like mosquitoes lay their eggs in it, and some insects want a tiny sip of it; if they do not have any water at all they may not live
• Bugscope Teamyeah we wanted you to be able to see what salt and sugar look like up close
• Studentohh okay...ho0w many lenses does it hav?
  Bugscope Teami'd estimate hundreds, if not more. Too many for me to count!, maybe you can later
• Studentso when the eyes look at one oint does when hey hear something do they get scared or sdo they fly away
  Bugscope Teamthey can sometimes feel with setae that are on their eyes, and sometimes they do have any automatic 'run away!' response.
• Studentwhat if we were froze would we cme back to like like bugs do???( cate or scotj)
  Bugscope TeamI hope not.

• StudentIS THAT A MOUTH?
  Bugscope Teamthe in the middle is the sponging mouth of the fly

• Studentthankss
• Guestwhat is this
• Guestwhat are those things in the sponge part
• 1:32 pm
• Studentwhat insects mouth is this??
  Bugscope Teamthis is a housefly, and that is its tongue

• Student Well thanks scott i have to go now i hope u have fun with the other kids byeeee:):]
  Bugscope TeamThank You!
• Teacherplease let mountain dew drive
  Bugscope Teamgot it!

• Studentwhy is it so hairy
  Bugscope Teamthe hairs help it taste, feel, hear, and sense hot/cold
• Student???
• Studentso...
• Guestis thi its mouth
• Studentdoes it have teeth?*

• GuestDo they haw jaws
  Bugscope Teamsome of them have jaws, but not flies -- flies have sponging or sucking or slashing mouthparts
• Studentohh

• StudentWait i have another question doo someone or something tell them too run away
  Bugscope Teamsometimes they have automatic nervous responses to something touching them, for example -- they may run without thinking about running

• Studentno bugs have teeth?
  Bugscope Teama lot of insects have a pair of hinged jaws they use to bite into other insects, and then sometimes those jaws have serrations on them that make them more like a steak knife

• GuestWhat are those circle things
  Bugscope Teamthose are the facets of the compound eye, also called 'ommatidia.'
• Teacherplease let epikknezz drive
• Studentis that a bee hive?
  Bugscope Teamnope this is the compound eye of the fly

• StudentOHEW
• Studentwhat are those hears near the compound eyes
• GuestWhat are those hairss

• GuestWhat are the hairs next to the compound eye?
  Bugscope Teamthose are called the 'vestiture,' which means they are kind of the 'dressing' of the head. they are usually sensory, collecting information
• Studenthairs? neeer the eyes!?!
• Studenti mean eyes
• Teacherthese students are going to sign off now, and I am going to bring a second group
  Bugscope Teamok sounds great!
• Studenti mean hairss

• Guestbye
• 1:37 pm
• Guestbye
• Studentcan you answer my question because i have to go
• GuestWe Have To leave Now
• GuestBye! Thank YOu
• Bugscope Teamthanks everyone!
• Studentokay bye scotj and cate thanx for the answers~!
  Bugscope TeamThank You!
• Studentgood byee...thanks you guyss
  Bugscope TeamBye! Thank You Tatyana!
• Studenthello what type of bug is this
  Bugscope Teamthis is part of a ladybug larva, and it is actually a bunch of bacteria
• Studentwhat university do you work at
  Bugscope Teamwe are at the University of Illinois
• Studenthey what is this i am looking at
  Bugscope Teamthis is a glob of bacteria and other stuff
• Studentis this how the baby lady bugs look like or is this the inside of the egg
  Bugscope Teamwhen you see this at a lower mag it will make more sense; this is very close up

• 1:42 pm

• Studentwhat kind of bacteria? where is it cominq from
  Bugscope Teamthe bacteria come from spores in the air, among other places

• Studentwhat is dis?
• Studentwow this is very interesting.
  Bugscope Teamit looks much like a caterpillar
• StudentWhat is aphids?
  Bugscope Teamthey are agricultural pests, maybe you dont see them too much up in new york, but they can get very annoying over here where they will fly in swarms and hit you and stick to you
• Studentwhat is this a picture of
• StudentOh very unique is there any reason it is gray?
  Bugscope Teamwe are using a scanning electron microscope, and the images that come from it are signal that does not have color, just gray scale -- black to white
• Studentit does
• Studentwhat is this
• Studentdis look like a mini microscopic rino
• Studentwhat is this
• Studentdo you know why some animals eat their mates
  Bugscope Teamprobably because they are hungry and need the protein to be able to lay their eggs
• Teacherplease let rubyboy drive
  Bugscope Teamthey have control
• Studentyo wat up
• Studentwow that sounds cool
• Studentwhat is the background is that vains in the back
  Bugscope Teamthe background is double stick carbon tape

• StudentWhy do they stick to thingings
• StudentWhat is this thing?
  Bugscope Teamthis is the head of a larva of a ladybug

• Studentwhy do they stick to things
  Bugscope Teamthey can secrete this sticky juice that ants actually farm
• Studentwhat am i lukin at
• Studentwhat are the little things stickinq out
  Bugscope Teamthose were palps, which are accessory mouthparts much like little arms that help the insect feed and taste its food

• Studentwhat do spiders do with their claws
• Studentwhat do they use there claws for
  Bugscope Teamthey use their claws kind of the same way we use our hands

• Studenthow long is a spider claw in total
  Bugscope Teamwe can see that this one is about 80 micrometers (80 microns) long.
• StudentAre all spider claws hairy
  Bugscope TeamI think so. Spiders are very hairy, they use those hairs to shoot at other things to deter them, or to feel vibrations coming from their webs

• Studentwat uis this

• 1:47 pm
• Studentis*
• Studentwhat was that
• Studentwhat is that
• StudentWhat is this?
• StudentSo what is this picture?
  Bugscope Teamthis is a moth's compound eye, up close]

• Studentexcuse me but what is this picture of?
  Bugscope Teamhere we are looking at a few facets of the eye of a moth, and you could also see mold spores
• Teacherplease let poloboy drive
  Bugscope Teampoloboy has control
• Studentkiwi askin da same q's
• Studentare those things eggs

• Studenthow many eyes are in a compund eye (on average)
  Bugscope Teamthere may be 10 or so, or none at all, on an ant, and they may be a hundred on an ant. some insects can have several thousand

• Studentwhat is this
• Bugscope Teamthe mag is now too high...
• Studentwhat is this?
• Studenthewhy is it to high
• Studentso what are we looking at
• Studentwhat do bugs eat
  Bugscope Teamthey eat almost anything that is edible, and it depends of course on what kind of bug they are
• Studentwhere are ladybugs mostly located at
• Studentwhat so moths eat?

• StudentWhere else do coaco roaches live beside people houses
  Bugscope Teamthey can live fine outside when it is not too cold

• StudentSo what is this?
  Bugscope Teamthis is the edge of a moth compound eye
• Studentwhat is this

• StudentWhat is this?
• Studentthey look like lil fish eggs not a bug closeup
  Bugscope Teamyeah that is true

• Studentis this part of a bug
• StudentOh, why does it look like that up close
• Studentis thism the eye
• Studentwhat is that in the ba
  Bugscope Teamthe background has double stick carbon tape with some silverpaint that helps the insects stick to the sample stub
• Teacherplease let jenna drive
  Bugscope Teamjenna has control
• Studentwhat's
• Studentewwww is this a fly???
  Bugscope Teamthis is a moth
• Studentwhat's this picture?
• Studentwhere did you study entomolgy
  Bugscope TeamI started at the University of Kansas and took a class called 'Insects and Man' from a famous entomogist. But mostly, now, we read about insects and ask questions.
• Studentwhat is the difference in a moth and a butterfly
  Bugscope Teamthe main difference are their antennae. Butterflies have a club at the end of their antennae, while moths have feathery looking antennae or just straight antennae but no club at the end

• 1:52 pm
• Bugscope Teamin the background we see silver paint and doublestick carbon tape
• Studentwhat is the difference in a moth and a butterfly?
• Studentewwwww
• Studentit looks like a birds feathers
• Studentwhat is on the abdomen, it loks like little hairs

• Studenti want to know why do bugs have little hairs on there body
  Bugscope Teamthey have an exoskeleton, which is kind of like if you were wearing a suit of armor all of the time - like a shrimp shell. so they need those tiny hairs to project through the shell and allow them to sense what is touching them, or to smell it , or the gauge how hot or cold it is.

• Studentit looks like hieroglyphs
• Studentwhat is this/
  Bugscope Teamthis is a single moth scale
• Student?
• Studentwhat i8s that
• Studentwhy do you study bugs
• Studentwat is this

• Studentis that a bug
• Studentwhat is this
• Studentit looks like he is ready 2 fite
• StudentWhat is the difference from a ant and a lady bug?
  Bugscope Teamants are related to bees and wasps, and ladybugs are a kind of beetle
• Studentit looks lke it is broken somehow
• Studentwhy is this shaped like that
  Bugscope Teammost likely it dried that way, but it does look like it's in a fighting stance or something. They eat aphids and actually has a couple stuck to it
• Studentyeah

• Studenthow strong is your microscope
  Bugscope Teamwe can take the magnification up to more than 600,000x, but we get meaningful images at no more than 200,000x]
• StudentWhat type of microscope is this?:
  Bugscope Teamyou are using a scanning electron microscope
• Studentdo bugs have eyes
• Studentdis is tough

• Studentso it has its food stuck to it

• StudentWhat is this?
  Bugscope Teamthis is a leg on a spider
• StudentOk so what do ants and bees have incommon?
  Bugscope Teamthey are both in the order hymenoptera. Same as wasps

• Studenthary legs why
• Studentdas nice
• StudentWhat are the things sticking out of the thing?
• Studentthat is so cool
• 1:57 pm
• Studentwhy do dey hav hairy legs

• Studenti am very educated
  Bugscope Teamcool!
• Teacherplease let hinda drive
  Bugscope Teamgot it!
• Studentssshheeeeeeeeeeesh

• Studenti
• Studentha

• Bugscope Teamthis is a silverfish, which has scales on its exoskeleton like moths, butterflies, and mosquitoes
• Studentwhat are the

• Studentsorry for there inconvience

• Bugscope Teamoops and this, now, is a true bug
• Studentwhat is a true bug
  Bugscope Teamit's an insect that uses its long proboscis (mouth part) to stab into other insects or plants to drink from them, and also also resembles a beetle
• Studentwhat are you using to go close up on the bug
  Bugscope Teamwe put the electron beam (actually you are doing it when you drive) in a small area, and it makes electrons from the coating on the sample come back from that small area. those secondary electrons give us the image we see
• Studentthis looks like astabbed bug
• Studentwhy is there a hole?
• Studentthat is nasty
• Studenty is there a big hole in the bug
• Studentis that hole where they give birth

• Studentwhat happened
• StudentOh ok. Why are ants under the colum of beetle?

• Studentwhy is there such a big hole in the bug
  Bugscope Teamit was stuck with a pin and pinned on a board for a student's project, who later donated it to ys
• Teacherplease let waviboy drive

• Studentthis is a spider's head
• Bugscope Team*us
• Studentis that its fangs
• Studentare there any vegetarian bugs
• Studentis it a spider
  Bugscope Teamthis is a spider yes
• Student????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
• Studentwhat is this a picture of
• Studentafter a bug dies does the exoskeleton dry out and break or is it as hard as if it was alive\
  Bugscope Teamit gets more brittle, less flexible
• Studentwhyare bugs so hair
  Bugscope Teamthe hairs help them sense their environment much like the nerve endings in our skin do, but they hairs (setae) can also, some of them, smell the air, or taste things, for example.
• StudentOh ok. Why are ants under the colum of beetle?
• Studenthairy
• Studentafter a bug dies does its skin dry out
  Bugscope Teaminsects have a hard exoskeleton, which when the insect dies and dries out keeps from shriveling up. That's why insects are so fun to look at using this microscope
• StudentAbout how many different species of bugs are there?
• Student????????????????????????????????????????????????????????//what is this ????????????????????
• Student>:)

• Studentwhat is that
• 2:02 pm
• Studentwat is this
• Studentis this sugar cubes for feeding the bugs
• Student:$
• Studentare these sugar cubes
• Studenthow many elements are in salt
  Bugscope Teamtwo: sodium and chlorine
• Studentwhat is wendy salt
• Studentit looks like a rubics cube
• StudentDo bugs have more hair than the human body?
  Bugscope Teamthey seem to; I'm sure it depends on which bugs
• Studentwhy does it look like that
• Studentonly NaCl
• Student are bugs handicap
• Studentis there a special reason there are holes in the salt
  Bugscope Teamwe think it is because there is some kind of anticaking agent added to the salt
• Studenti love bugs
• StudentThanks
• Studentwhy is it a cube
  Bugscope Teamthe sodium and the chloride crystals form that shape naturally. compare that to sugar, which forms a more complex crystal
• StudentAbout how many species of bugs are there?
  Bugscope TeamEstimates of the number of insect species in the world range from about 750,000 to one million.
• Teacherplease let kiwistrawberry drive
• Studenthow many bugs does it take to change a light bulb
• Studentwhy does salt have a whole in it
• Studentcan bugs eat salt

• Studentcan bugs be alergic to stuff
  Bugscope Teamthey can be allergic, and they can get diseases
• Studentthis is so fun
• Studentcan bugs eat burger king
  Bugscope Teamheh. yeah

• Studentare they fat
• StudentWhat is the largest bug?
  Bugscope Teamthe goliath beetle is one of the largest and heaviest, but some walking sticks are said to be perhaps 15 inches long

• Studentcan they drink soda in litle droplets
  Bugscope Teamyes!
• Studentis there such a thinq as an overweight bug
• Studentwhat is a the smallest bug
  Bugscope Teamthe smallest is a fairyfly, which is actually a type of wasp with a very painful sting
• Studenthow many bugs can live in a single tree

• Studentwhat is the largest bug alive
• Student-.- zzzzz
• StudentWhat is this?
• Studentblah blah balh
• 2:07 pm

• Studentdo you think bugs are nasty
  Bugscope Teamsome of them are not very nice
  Bugscope Teami think larvae are kind of gross when they are alive and dead
• Teacherplease let flyboyj drive
• Studenti saw a walking stcik before =)
  Bugscope Teamcool!
  Bugscope Teamcool!
• Studentstcik*
• Studentstick
• Studentwhat is this
  Bugscope Teamthis is a spine on the back of a ladybug larva
• Studentare those little things nails?
• Studentwalking stick????????????????????
• Studentcan a fly be yellow with black dots
  Bugscope Teamyes I'm sure there are some like that
• Studentare insects mamals
  Bugscope Teamno they are invertebrates, meaning they do not have backbones, or any bones at all...
• StudentI think it look like a crows foot :|
  Bugscope Teamit does look like a bird's foot
• Studentwhy is this black and white
  Bugscope Teamthe images we collect using the scanning electron microscope come to us as signal from 2ndary electrons, and there is no color.

• Studentit looks like a bird's law
• Studentcan bugs be rich or like they get what they want
• Studenthow can an insect be a mammal
  Bugscope Teamthey are not mammals, don't worry ;)
• Studenthumans+bugs=????????????
• Studentdoes the lady bug have babies on its back
  Bugscope Teamno but this one has aphids on its abdomen
• Studentthat don't exist
• Studentok
• Student where do bugs give birth

• Studentwhat is an electron
  Bugscope Teaman electron is a tiny particle that can be part of the shell of an atom or free

• Studentwhat is the biggest bug

• Studentwhat is this

• Studentbugs are groos

• Studentwat is the difference between an ant and a ladybug?
• StudentAre these bugs dead?
• Studentthis larvae seems really big compared to a lady bug

• Student;ll;l;l;l;l;l;l;l;l;l;l;l;l;l;
• 2:12 pm
