- StudentAre all of the scale pictures of the same place, just magnified differently?
Bugscope Teamthey are taken from different areas and parts of the wing
- Studentwhat happens if a monarch caterpillar eats something other then milkweed??????
- Teacherdo the shingles grow back?
Bugscope TeamI don't think so. Stuff doesn't grow back on insects unless they can molt again. Butterflies don't molt anymore when they are adults
- Studentwhy is beaver keep logging out and getting a new name?
- Studentwhow meney bugs are ther
- Teacherby acciden
- Teachert

- Studentdo the scales on the butterflies wings eventually grow back onto the butterflies wings?
- Studentchaos can we go to the next picture
Bugscope TeamBeaver can drive the 'scope now
- StudentHow big are the scales compared to bacteria?
Bugscope Teamthe scales look to be about 100-150 micrometers. The bacteria that is most commonly found is about 2 micrometers
- Studentlike my anem?
- Studentname**?
Bugscope Teamyes Hockey Rules

Bugscope Teamyes but we don't often find them

- TeacherJames Strath Public School Canada Ontario
Bugscope Teamso it's lunchtime there?
- TeacherYes, we oopsed on the time thing
- TeacherSome students are eating and watching
- Bugscope Teamanyway, let us know if you have any trouble driving, or when you have questions about anything at all
- Bugscope Teamwhen things get very bright like this it is because the sample is charging up with electrons -- the electrons cannot go to ground
- Bugscope Teamwe coated the sample with several nm of gold palladium but still it charges up because there are not always good pathways for the electrons to go to ground
- Bugscope Teamthere I cut the brightness down a bit
- Teacherthanks
- Bugscope Teaminsects breathe through their spiracles
- Bugscope Teamso when we looked at the leaf we made a preset of the stomates, which are like spiracles for plants
- 9:19 am
- TeacherThe spiracles are amazing
- Bugscope Teamthis is the caterpillar of a Monarch
- TeacherWe have between 50 and 75 live monarchs in our room right now
Bugscope Teamwow
Bugscope Teamwow!
- Bugscope Teamone year, in March, we had a live chrysalis in the microscope
- Bugscope TeamI went to the butterfly exhibit at the indianapolis zoo once, and I thought that was pretty cool. They had cases of chrysalis in different stages and the coolest butterflies everywhere
- Teacheryes, and it is hard to find milkweed that is healthy at this time of year
Bugscope Teamthere's a whole preserve near where I live with a whole field of them in the summer
- Bugscope Teamit hatched out late in March, and it was so sad because we couldn't really let it go outside
- Student?

- Studentwhat kind of scales are these?
Bugscope Teamthey're wing scales, and some are orange, some are black, hard to tell this close up
Bugscope Teamthese belong to the monarch
- Studentohhh
- Studentback in a min
- Bugscope Teamnow you can see the lattice pattern of the scales
- Bugscope Teamin those little holes you can sometimes see pigment granules
- Bugscope Teamthe color that you see when you look at monarchs comes from the spacing in the scales and also from pigment granules
- Studentthat is better
- Studentafter thomas is dopne with the microscope can i please have control of it.
- Bugscope Teamscales can have colors from pigment and colors due to their structure or shape
- StudentTiki 123 change to tiki
- Studentwhoever has scope control look at something else pls

- Studentohh cool!
- Bugscope Teamthe finger like thing is a palp anyway
- Studentcoolio
- Bugscope Teamthe one in the left is a palp too
- Bugscope Teambeetles have 2 sets of palps
- Studentkk thanks
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentwhat is that
Bugscope Teamthere are little taste buds at the inside tip of this palp
- Bugscope Teamthere are mandibular and maxillary palps, named like human jaws: the mandible is your lower jaw and the maxilla is your upper jaw. but on the insects the jaws go from side to side, not up and down
- Studentthis is kool dont you think :b
Bugscope Teamyes it is!
- Bugscope Teamthis is one of the beetle
- Bugscope Team's palps

- 9:45 am
- Bugscope Teamnice driving thomas la cool
- Bugscope TeamI mean kool
- Bugscope Teamsorry

- Bugscope Teamtake the mag down a bit if you get too close to see
- Studentcool
- Studentcan we please see the monarch taste buds on its feet please?
Bugscope TeamTiki we tried but did not get a good view.
- Studentso this is a beetle?
Bugscope Teamyes we are look at the mouthparts of a beetle
- Studentcool but somewhat creepy
- Studentohh.
- Studentwhy is it all black in the middle
Bugscope Teamthat is the opening of the mouth, which we do not see, usually
- Bugscope Teamlet's let Tiki drive
- Studentant hariy
- Studentk
- Bugscope TeamTiki you are the supreme ruler now.
- Studentso this is a mouth of a beetle?
Bugscope Teamyes the beetle is mounted on its back, so we are looking at the head from underneath, from the ventral side
- Studentwhy is it hariy
Bugscope Teamthe hairs, also called 'setae,' help with touch, taste, hot/cold, and in this case some of them likely filter the food a little
- Studentplease
- Studentare the tenticale things its eyes?
Bugscope Teamno those were antennae I believe
- Studentwhat are thoughs bumps
Bugscope Teamthose are kind of like tastebuds on your tongue
- Studentthis is the best thing ever
- Studentcool
- Studentcool but weird
- 9:50 am
- Studentoh so they taste with them?
Bugscope Teamyes they sense chemical smells, which is what tasting is, in a way
- Bugscope Teamthis is the centipede
- Studenthow many eyes do they have
Bugscope Teamthey have two compound eyes that have many facets called ommatidia
- Bugscope Teamits antennae broke off and there are only little stubs of them left in front of the eyes
