Bugscope Teamthe different sections allow it to bend. A suit of armor is similar where it has many plates
- Studentis that a cut?
- Studentwow thats cool :)
- Studentwhat is it eating?
- Studentwhats the long part of the anntenna
Bugscope TeamI am not sure if it has a name. In some insects it is called the aristate portion of the antennae
- Studentwhy are horseflies so big
- 1:34 pm
- Studentcan wasps loose thier stingers from stinging some one like a bee?
Bugscope Teamno they can sting multiple times. It's the honeybee that can lose it's stinger and die, and only with humans.

- Studentwhat is that hole for?
- Studentwhats earwig?
- Studentare those thorns?
- Studentis it bumpy?
- Studentwhere are spiricals on the ant
- Studentwhere are the spircicls
- StudentWhat are the hairs on the leg? Are they setae?
Bugscope Teamyes all the hairs you see are setae. Some do special things other than for sense of touch. Some can help the insect walk on walls if they are by the claws, some can sense temperature changes or even help with tasting/smelling
- Studentcool so which ever one pops up thats the one u answer?
Bugscope Teamwhen we get done with one we look to see what is near the top that hasn't been answered
- Studentwhat is this
- Studentwhat r the bumps
- Studentwhere re the spiracles on the ant at?
Bugscope Teamthere are two on each segment of the body, and they are usually on the sides
- Studentwhat are the things in the hole
Bugscope Teamthose are micro setae. They help keep particles out
- Studentis the spiracle where it breaths
Bugscope Teamyes that's right
- Studentwha d ants eat
- StudentDo some bugs shed their skin, like snakes?
Bugscope Teamyes. The cicada is a good example of that. You often see their shed skins left behind from when they molted into an adult

- Studentim out of things to ask :(
- Studentdont earwigs suck blood
- Studentdo they have hairs on their eyes
- Studentthanks!!

- Studentwhy do flies bite

- Studentoh sorry i was looking at the picture

Bugscope Teamthe compound eye has many different lenses on it that can each acquire a different image.
- Studentis that a legggggg???/
- Studentso r u guys all in the same room?
Bugscope Teamno we aren't, and actually I am at home right now
- Studentwhy do mosquitos like to bite surten people
- Studentdo butterflies bite??:]
- Studentoh ok. what do they do??

- Studenthow do u know if a snake is dangerous
- Studentwhy cant we see ultraviolet?
Bugscope Teamour eyes can't see that high of a frequency

- Studentwhy is it lumpy
- Studentwhats that long looking spoon thing called?
Bugscope Teamthat is the haltere
- Studentokay thanks cate
- Studentthat thing was tiny
- Guesthello! Are you all chatting about anything in particular at the moment..I jsut want to inro my kids to bugscope
- Studentso they can see like fifty things at once????
Bugscope Teamyes and sometimes when their eyes wrap around their heads they can see almost 360 degrees around them
- Studentdoes it have wings?
- Studenthow does the haltere work?
Bugscope Teamit beats with a motion opposite that of the wing, and it is weighted a bit to make up for its smaller size; so it functions as a flight stabilizer
- Studentheloow renee!!
- Studentyes we r talking about butterflies
- StudentHI RENEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Studentyes renee
- Studentyes
- StudentWhat is a haltere?
Bugscope TeamIt's only found on flies and beats opposite their wings to create a gyroscopic effect
- Studentwhat is the best way to get rid of bees and wasps??
- Guestwe will be right with you..
- Student-hi Renee!
- StudentOh thanks!
- Studentewwwwwww the eye thing sounds gross how could the they get it all around thier head??
- Student-what exacly is a cercopod?
- Studentwhats a gyrosopic effect?
Bugscope Teamwhen you have a gyroscope spinning inside a frame, it creates its own center of stability
- Studentwhy cant we see infrared
Bugscope Teamit is a larger wavelength than our eyes can see, and UV is a smaller wavelength
Bugscope Teamusually night animals have it, because that is when it's most useful
- Studentwhat do prayin mantissis do??
- Studentwhat the heck is this a picture of
Bugscope Teamthis is the thorax of the fly
- Studentwhat are the black dots

Bugscope Teambut we're not supposed to call them hairs
- StudentCj... Bees sting not bite
- Studentwhat is a tarsi? and what does it do?
- Studentwould a butterfly ever lose his antenna
Bugscope Teamit's possible, if it were ripped off, like in a battle. They are more easy to fall off when they are dead and dry out
- Studentthat thing is very fuzzi
- Studentoh like seeing in the dark?!?!?!?!
Bugscope Teamyes!
- Studentwhat are the hair used for
Bugscope Teamsome are used like rat or cat whiskers, to sense touch; and some are used to sense smells, or pheromones in the air; and some sense hot/cold
- Studentwhat are the hairs useed for
- Studenthey scot what is the bent thing or cate
Bugscope Teamone is the limb we see now
- Studentwhat does it eat?
- Studentis it true when a flies land on you it poops??
Bugscope Teamno, but it does often taste where it lands. If it pooped every time it landed, I think it would dehydrate pretty fast
- Studentmakenna that is groos
- Studenthahah thanks cate! :)
- Studentgross
- Studentwill a bee sting more than once?
Bugscope Teamyes but a honeybee can only sting a human once. Bumblebees can sting more, but they are pretty docile
- Studentwhat are the hairs used for
Bugscope Teamsome are sensory, and some are used for thermoregulation or pattern forming
- Studenthow big is the fly leg

- Studenthow do you get rid of wasps
- Student-oh cool, thank you! o u o
- Studenthow will u know that a butterfly is young or old
- Studenthow do you get rid of flies in your house
Bugscope Teamif you have fruit flies, get rid of the fruit (they love overripe fruit). You can also try using cider vinegar with a single drop of dish soap. That causes them to get stuck and drown. For bigger flies, I suppose fly paper or a fly swatter would do the trick
- Studentscot.. im cool.
Bugscope Teamgood -- I am sorry we cannot answer everyone all of the time
- Studentleave renna
- Studentwhat are thos holes on the leg
- Studentwhat are the holes
- Studentoh ok thanks cate

Bugscope Teamto grab onto things, they are similar to hands for us
- Studentthanks for everything scottttt and cate!(:
- Studentwhat are the hairs used for?
Bugscope Teamthey are used to smell -- the chemosensory ones; they are used to sense touch, or wind -- the mechanosensory ones; and they are used to sense hot/cold -- the thermosensory ones; they also become the scales we see
- StudentThis was fun, thank you so much! :)
- Studentscot, thanks. your coool tooo! so is cate!
- Studenti mean hair
- Studentthanks for answering our questions
- Student cj that was rude
- Studentdoes it get dirty
- Studenty would a wasp want to bite a human
Bugscope Teammaybe biting will help hold them down enough to sting. Some ants will bite too
- Studentwhy does it have haie
Bugscope Teamit's because they have an exoskeleton -- a shell instead of skin with nerve endings in it. so they need something to help them sense the world around them
- Student#fly
- Studentis this a fruit flie?
Bugscope Teamno we don't have any fruit flies today; this is a housefly

- Studentcan drogonflies lay eggs in the ocean

Bugscope Teamthose are long setae
- Studentif we eat insects would we get the same amount of protien
Bugscope Teamyes, you mean the same as spiders? you would get protein from the chitin as well

Bugscope Teamthey are easy to carry to other locations and will grow mold there
- 2:41 pm
- Studentwhy are so much mold on the fly
Bugscope Teammold is in the air and settles on things that are damp, and it is found on things that are dead; it helps them decay
- Studentare those eegs?
- StudentDo pollen and mold spores hurt the fly?
Bugscope Teamno though it can be bothersome if it gets in its spiracles or eyes and antennae. It can clean its eyes and antennae with its legs though
