- 9:18 am
- Bugscope TeamGood morning!
- Bugscope TeamWelcome to Bugscope!
- Bugscope Teamhi mrs. schneider
- TeacherGood Morning! We are going to the lab in about 5 minutes...just finishing up with math :)
- Bugscope Teamtoday we have a leafhopper, some fruit flies, a housefly, some ants, a backswimmer...
- Bugscope Teamtotally cool
- 9:27 am
- Bugscope Teamhere in the top center you can see the compound eye of the leafhopper
- Bugscope Teamit has a bumpy appearance
- Bugscope Teamthe antenna is kind of draped over the eye area
- 9:32 am
- Bugscope Teamthe leafhopper is a 'true bug,' meaning that it shares characteristics such as piercing/sucking mouthparts with other true bugs such as cicadas
- Bugscope Teamgood morning, and welcome to Bugscope!

Bugscope Teamthey use their proboscis to pierce the surface of a leaf or stem and suck the plant juices out
- Student,
- Studentwhat bug is this?
Bugscope Teamthis is a type of true bug called a leafhopper. They are the small green insects that hop out of long grass or bushes when you brush them
- Studentwhat does a caterpillar eat???
Bugscope Teamoften they eat plant material

- Studentthis is very confusinq
- Studentohhhhhhh
- Studentwere r its eyes
Bugscope Teamthey're streamlined into the sides of the head
- StudentWOAH
- Studenthi :)
- StudentWHAT IS THAT?!
- Studentwhat are we looking at?
Bugscope Teamthe head of a leafhopper. This is the mouthpart- called a proboscis
- Studentwhat is that??
- StudentUhm... When the fruit fly looks out of its compound eye, does it see like we do, or do they see per eye, almost like a mosaic?
Bugscope TeamI think it's more like a mosaic that is constantly updating
- Studentbsryjmsndr4tj66666sehdzd
- Studentjoker
- Studenty
- Studentk
- Studentk
- Studentk
- Studento whats that pointy thing
Bugscope Teamthat is the part that stabs into plants and drinks plant sap
- Bugscope Teamif you had compound eyes you would have very good peripheral vision, and you would be able to note changes in the visual field very quickly, like if someone was trying to smack you
- Student0\
- Studentwow
- Student>:/*
- StudentDo mosquitos consume more than just blood?
Bugscope Teamthe females drink only blood, but the males, if they eat, can consume plant sap
- Studentno i didnt and could it poke ur eye out
- Studentwhat is there life span? ;o
- Student:o
- Studentwhat do they eat
- Studentu freak
- Studentif you had compound eyes you would have very good peripheral vision, and you would be able to note changes in the visual field very quickly, like if someone was trying to smack you. (that's the most amazing explaination I've ever heard).
- StudentSCOT so hows it going
Bugscope Teamhey fine no problems here
- Bugscope Teamthat is why it is hard to catch flies, for example. plus, they can feel the wind from your hand
- Studentcan it sting you or something??
Bugscope Teamit might stick that into you as a defensive measure
- Studenthahahahahaha!!! NO
- Studentgh
- StudentMUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
- Student:
- Studentcould it suck blood out of your eye???
- Studentwhy aint yall rlly tlkkin bout all dese aimals jo/?
- Studentcould it suck blood out of your eye?
Bugscope Teamif there was blood there; your eye has 'aqueous humor' in it
- Studenton a scale of 1-10 how dangerous are they
- Studentoooohhhh ok
- StudentJOKER@! yu tookmy question
- Studentwhat is the life span of them
Bugscope Teamusually a few weeks to a month or so, depends on the species, the environment, and also the gender of some insects
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentwhat is the very large pointy thing
- 9:42 am

- Studentare those other things on it the nos?
Bugscope Teaminsects don't have noses like we do. They do most of their 'smelling' through their antennae. And for breathing they have spiracles, which are holes in their bodies that are connected to a trachea under the exoskeleton
- Studentmy spidey senses are tingeling

- Student(:
- Studentwhatis this
- Studentlooks like worts :p

- StudentCIRCLES
Bugscope Teamthose are the individual facets of the eye- each can get an image of its surroundings
- StudentWHAT ARE THE CIRCLES FOR?
- Studentwhat are the things on it
Bugscope Teamthose are broken setae, little tiny sensory bristles
- Studentdoes it see?
- Bugscope Teamthe housefly has thousands of these ommatidia -- individual facets
- Studentdoesn't it hurt the eye if things are on it
- Studentwhat itf one eye got poked out
Bugscope Teamit can stand to damage a few of the ommatidia (facets), but if it's a good chunk of the eye that gets damaged, then it would be hindered and likely get eaten
- StudentDOES IT SEE LIKE HOW SO SEE OUT OF A CALIDASCOPE?
Bugscope Teamit is more like a moving mosaic, as one of your classmates suggested earlier

Bugscope TeamOne female may lay 400–600 eggs in the periodical cicadas
- Studenti had a pet spider, and i forced it to eat a whole chicken or i wouldnt let it go..does it eat chicken, cuz it didnt?
- StudentXDDDD
- Studenti had a pet spider, and i forced it to eat a whole chicken or i wouldnt let it go..does it eat chicken, cuz it didnt?
- Studentits so tiny\
- StudentIt is very important to know your spiders because you may be bitten one day and if you go to the hospital you can have mistaken identity. Your welcome
- Bugscope Teamso a spider would not eat a chicken
- Studentsmaller than u
- Studenti had a pet spider, and i forced it to eat a whole chicken or i wouldnt let it go..does it eat chicken, cuz it didnt?

- GuestThere are lots of black widows in California. My students bring them to me for our Bugscope sessions. Scary.
Bugscope Teambrave students
- 10:08 am
- GuestThey are brave - I ask them to bring them dead. The last black widow was alive. I let it go free.

- Studenth'ht
- Studente
- Studentewf'
- GuestBlack widows like to build their nests and webs in non- obvious places and you can get bitten if you accidentally stick your hand where they are hiding.
- Bugscope Teamthis is a male mosquito; although it has a proboscis like a female it does not suck blood
- Studentvokt0r
- Studentis that its compound eyes?
Bugscope Teamyes it is!
- Studentknaw sayin
- Studento
- Studentd
- Bugscope TeamI think brown recluse spiders tend to build their nests in non obvious places too
- Studentplease give HULK control
- GuestI think you would be in lots of pain if a black widow bit your eye.
- Studentwhat if a black widow spider bit my eye?
Bugscope Teamthen you should probably seek medical help
- Bugscope TeamHulk has control of the microscope now.
- GuestThis image ROCKS!
- Studentwhats on their leggs
Bugscope Teamthey have scales all over their body (mosquitos)
- Studentwhat would happen is a black widow bite you on the toe?
- Studentplease give :D control
- Studentwhat part bites
Bugscope Teamthe mosquito has that long proboscis that is facing us now, and inside are stylets that pierce and cut into your skin, but only on the female
- Studentplants
- Studentif female mosquitoes suck blood what do males eat
Bugscope Teamsometimes they do not eat, and sometimes they eat nectar from flowers
- GuestI think the brown recluse poison is worse from what I hear....I know your face can swell up when a black widow bites - it happened to a colleague's kid.
- Studentcould you get your eye taken out if you get bit?
- 10:13 am
- Studentplease give control to "
- Studenthow big is the largest mosqito in the world?
Bugscope Teamthere is not a huge range in sizes; maybe 1.5 cm in length
- Studentcan male mosquitoes suck blood
Bugscope Teamno they cannot, and they don't need it
- Studentplaese give control to "THEREALBATMAN" please!
- Studentplease give control to BATMAN
- Bugscope Teamfemale mosquitoes need the protein from blood to enable them to successfully lay their eggs
- Studentplaese give control to "THEREALBATMAN" please!
- Studentplease give control to THEREALBATMAN
- Studentare those fethers?
Bugscope Teamthey are analogous to feathers, in a way; they are scales
- StudentCONTROL TOOKEN AWAY!!!
- Studentwuts worse black widows or brown recluse
Bugscope TeamI think brown recluse as well. Black widow venom affects the nervous system, while the brown recluse venom can cause necrosis
- Studenthow many eggs does the female lay
Bugscope Teamthey are said to lay about 100 per 'raft' that floats in the water
- Studenthuh?
- StudentCXB VXBGXDGH.
- GuestOh snap! Nice jaws!
- Bugscope Teamthe recluse spider venom kills your skin and the tissue beneath it and can make a large ulcer of rotting tissue
- Studentwhats the most deadlist insect

- Studentis that hairs on its mouth
- Guestby the author...
- Studenthow is an ant able to lift up to 10 times thir own weit
Bugscope Teamthey are strong and built sturdily
- Studenthow do they eat
- Studenty is it hairy
- TeacherWicked Bugs...on the list :)
- Studenty do they have hair on their antannae
Bugscope Teamthe hairs are sensory -- they can use them to smell and taste and feel hot and cold and sense touch and the wind...
- Studentyou mst have a lotta books you like if there is a list
- Studentplease give control it BATMAN
- Studentmust*
- Studentwut about just spiders..? whats the deadlist
Bugscope Teamit is thought that the most venomous spider is the brazilian wandering spider or banana spider
- Studentwhere is there hair on its face? doesnt it shave?
- Studentwhy is there eye like that
- Studentwhat ar ethe little hairs
Bugscope Teamthe little hairs are called 'setae,' pronounced see tee
- GuestWicked Bugs talks about the deadliest bugs and the historical connections as well. Some super gross stories...
- Teacherinstead of batman, can you pass it to good boy?
Bugscope Teamgood boy is the supreme ruler

- Studentwhy is it so hary?
- Studentwhat is that batween the eyes
Bugscope Teamits tongue
- StudentDUDE, this moth has huge eys
- Studenteyes*
- Bugscope Teamthe tongue -- or actually the proboscis -- is coiled up when it is not being used
- Studentyou no what batme at least i can save ppl unlike you. you just sit on ur littel batmobeel
- Studenty does the antennae have little squares
Bugscope Teamusually they are little hexagons, but sometimes we see squares
- StudentDUDE, his eyes are huge
- Studenthow big do they get
- Studentlol
- Studentjk jk
- Studenty is it like fuzzy
- Studentbut what do they do
- Studentwhy isnt u like fuzzy
- Studentwhy does it glow
- Student:3 pretty eye
- Studentgo away
- Studentwhy are the ys so big?
Bugscope Teamthey need to be big in order to pick up light in the darkness, and also to be able to see around the head
- Bugscope Teammoths have a lot of scales on their bodies, and even on their compound eyes
- Studenteeewww it has hairs on its eyes ewewewewew
- Studentare those hais on the ees
Bugscope Teamyes just a few
- Studenteyelashes?
- Studentwow
- Studentare those like eyelashes
Bugscope Teamthey are generally touch sensory
- Studentwow what
- Studentare they compound
Bugscope Teamyes they are!
- Studentare those compound eyes
Bugscope Teamyes and they have little hairs, setae, sticking out from the individual facets
- Studentbatman is a fake just like this bug
- Studentwhy does it have hair on it eys/
Bugscope Teamso it can sense the wind and when something is touching the eye
- Studenthek ya dude
- Studentwhat is this for'
- Bugscope Teamthis is the tip of the proboscis of the cicada
- Studentme
- Studentrg
- Studentwhats in the middle?
Bugscope Teamthat is where the sharp part comes out and pierces leaves and stems so it can get the juices out of plants
- Student........
- Student[]''
- Studentummm
- Student¶§•¶••ª
- Studentwhat dose this do
- Studentis that the mouth?
Bugscope Teamit feeds into the mouth, yes
- Student
- 10:28 am
- Studentwhat is a proboscis
Bugscope Teamit is the strawlike tube that covers the mouthparts; in an elephant it is the trunk
- Studenthow do u do that
- Studenty does it have a tounge thing
Bugscope Teamthe cicada is a true bug, so it has that kind of feeding apparatus that helps it suck juices from plants
- Studentso like a trunk on an elephant?
Bugscope Teamexactly!
- GuestThis looks like an evil alien....
- Studentspiderman: shift+option+k
- Studentwuts those claws
Bugscope Teamthat is the tip of the sharp hardened part that penetrates the leaf or plant stem
- Student߈´∂˙´∂∆´ªˆ©˙∂¥ƒ
- Studentwhy are people so afraid of them
Bugscope Team'cause they're big and noisy, but they can't really hurt you
- Studentit looks like it has 2 shell things, y
Bugscope Teamyou mean on either side?
- Studentwhy are they so noiseeeyy??
Bugscope Teamto attract mates
- Studenthow big is this
Bugscope Teamcheck out the scale bar, and you can see that it is more than a centimeter wide
- Studentno like the outside than inside than the tounge thing
- Bugscope Teamtheir main purpose as adults is to mate. They don't live for very long as adults
- Studenthow much babys could it have?
Bugscope TeamI think if all of the eggs hatch, 400 to 600
- Student
- Bugscope Teamthis is the Klingon part, kind of a built-in pump or siphon mechanism on top of the head
- 10:33 am
- Studentis that a face
- Studentr those eyes
Bugscope Teamthe eyes we cannot see here, but they are to the left and to the right
- Studento wuts that
- GuestSeems like artists and movie makers get some inspiration for their creatures from insects!
- Studenthhow long do they live
Bugscope Teamthey can live up to a month
- Studentwhat are those things that look like eyes
Bugscope Teamnot sure, but you could see one of the antennae, and the other was broken off
- Studentwhats coming out of the hole thingy
Bugscope Teamthat was probably one of the antenna
- Studentwhats the little round thing that looks like an egg
- StudentÅÍÍÍÎÏ˝ÓÔÒÚÆ
- Bugscope Teamd'oh antennae
- Studentre those leaves
- Studentwhat is this?
Bugscope Teamthis is a flying aphid, which is a tiny plant pest
- Studentare those wings
Bugscope Teamyes they are!
- TeacherWe are writing children's books about insects...we certainly have some inspiration
- Studenthow long do they live
- Bugscope Teamyou can see that the aphid's mouthparts are comparable to those of the cicada

- GuestI can't wait to hear about the children's stories! The ones your last students wrote were so good! I am sure your super hero class here will have some really amazing stories. Can I share them with my California students?
- TeacherI'm sorry for all the nonsense comments...we learned a whole lot though and really appreciate all the time you have given us!
