• GuestHow long is a bugs span?
• Guestyes jj yes
• GuestHow long is a bugs life span?
  Bugscope Teamit depends, of course. some are adults for only a few hours -- like mayflies
• Guestis it ture that some ants spurt acid

• 9:53 am
• Guestpic
• GuestIs a bees sting deadly
• Guestyea nini is right sorry people are so not looking at the chat because your only one person
• Guestif you get stung by a bee, how long will the stinger stay in if you dont take it out
  Bugscope Teamforever, I guess, until it gets rubbed off

• Guest][[[]]]]]
• Guesthow long does it take for a bug to be come an adult
• Guest\
• Guesthow many different bug are there
• GuestWhich bees are the most common ones thata sting
• Guestknj;okkyihetmgfjlb ij4wq i 4iypbaf7-9
• Guestwhat is that on the bug is that the leg
• Guestthenks
• Guestwho are u
• Guestdo bees die after they sting someone
  Bugscope Teamonly honeybees do. Their stinger is barbed, which causes it to get stuck in the skin of mammals
• Guestwhat happens when a fiy bite
  Bugscope Teamit hurts! They don't inject you with any venom or anything
• Guestabout how long is the ants legs
• Guestcate can you tell me what kind of bug is that ?
• Guestdoes a bee have spikes on its stinger
• Guesthow do bugs die?
• Guestwhich bees are common in toronto

• GuestHow can you take the bees stinger out ?
• Guesthow do bugs die
• Guestwhere is sem cate
• Guestdo bees only sting humans
• Guestcan this insect breed
• Guestwhich is more dangerous a wasp bite or a bee sting?
• Guesthow did you guys create a microscope that could see so deep in an insect?
• Guestis it true that when you get stung by a bee and you dont take out the stingrer within three hours the venom may cause death
  Bugscope Teamnot unless you are extremely allergic. The only other thing that might happen if you leave the stinger in is you could get an infection.
• GuestHOW MANY EGGS DOES A A BUGG LAY A A TIME
• Gueststop peyton
• GuestTHE DIE
• Guestwhat's the red marks
• Guestis that grems
• Guest$
• GuestAre 75% of bugs poisonous
• GuestIs that hair or something else?
• Guestwho is leaf monkey
• Guestrohan
• Guestit is rohan
• Guestyes didn't you know that leaf monkey
• Guesthow do bugs die
  Bugscope Teamif we get live insects, we freeze them, which is like a humane way of killing them. Other insects may die because they get eaten or they don't have enough food or water
  Bugscope Teamsome insects also can die from diseases

• Guestwhats that stuff in his mouth?
• Guestwhich bugs are poisonous
• Guestyeah it is rohan
• GuestAre 75% of bugs poisonous
• Guesthow long after a bee stings does it die
• Guestpoisonous
• Guesti got sting by a bee but the stinger wasnt in their is my skin weaker than the bee
• Guestwho some special
• Guestwhen they sting us people they die
• Guestwhat does a bee do
• Guesthow many eggs does an ant lay at a time
• 9:58 am
• GuestAre bugs poisonous
  Bugscope Teammost are not
• Guestdoes a bee die if it stings someone
  Bugscope Teamwhen a honeybee stings you and they lose their stinger, they will die from bleeding out. Bumblebees that can sting you multiple times won't die from stinging you unless you end up squishing them in the process
• Guestwhere do the poisonis bugs live
• Guesthow do you know the difference betwwen a bee and a wasp
• Guestwhat does a beed do
• Guestbee*
• Guestdoes an insect have enough venom to kill a human
• GuestWhy do bees sting ?
• GuestHow long does a butterflies life last(Life Span)?
• Guestwhat do leafhopper's do
• GuestHOW DOES A MICROSCOPE Work
• Guesthow many ant species are there
• Guestwhat kind of bugs is that ?
• Guesthow might you get rid of the bees stinger
• Guestif a got stung by a bee and the stingers not in there is the bee still alive to sting someone else
• Guestwhat does a bee do for a liveing
• Guestis this bug poisonis
  Bugscope Teamno none of the insects in here are poisonous. The bee is venomous, which means they inject you with venom when they sting you. When something is poisonous, like a poison dart frog, that usually means that you would have to eat them or lick them to get sick

• GuestAre bees poisonous after they sting
  Bugscope Teamno they are not
• GuestV
• Guestbyebyebyebyebyebyebyebye
• Guestthe stuff in its mouth are the things that they help them eat with
• Guesthow long is a water beetles life span
  Bugscope Teammaybe around a month
• Guesthow long is a flies lifespan
  Bugscope Teammaybe 2 to 6 weeks
• Guestbye
• GuestHow many species are their
• Guesthow many ant species are there
• Guestbye guys
• Guestwhat kind of bug is that?
  Bugscope Teammillipede
• Guestcan a bee sting other mammals than humans
  Bugscope Teamyes. Bees can also sting other creatures, and even insects.

• 10:04 am

• 10:09 am

• Bugscope TeamHello Mrs Krebs!
• 10:14 am
• Bugscope TeamWelcome back to Bugscope!
• Bugscope Teamwe had a school from Toronto log on this morning while we were setting up.

• 10:20 am

• Bugscope Teamwe are ready to roll when you are
• Bugscope Teamis everything all right on your end?
• Bugscope Teamplease let us know when you have questions
• 10:26 am

• TeacherHello, Scot! Thank you. It is good to be here.
• 10:31 am
• TeacherCan we look at the stinger more closely?
  Bugscope Teamyou can click on the preset and the 'scope will drive to that place
• Bugscope Teamlet us know if you have trouble driving
• Bugscope Teamwe are on a leafhopper head right now, which is a type of true bug like the cicada is

• Bugscope Teamhere is the wasp stinger

• Bugscope Teamit's set up right now so that you (Mrs Krebs) have the ability to drive.

• Bugscope Teamsweet

• Bugscope Teamyou can see that the stinger is serrated like a steak knife
• Bugscope Teamit has little steak knife cutting edges on the stinger

• TeacherI'm not driving very well, though, am I?
  Bugscope Teamit is tricky to drive
• Bugscope Teamyou're doing great!
• Bugscope TeamI am sitting at the microscope, so I can help...
• Bugscope Teamstingers and ovipositors are the same things
• StudentOK, Sierra is driving now.
• Teachercan we look at the wing scales?
• Bugscope Teamwe just gave Sierra control.
• TeacherHow do I move it?
  Bugscope Teamclick on the image where you want to move to

• Bugscope Teamit is difficult, remotely, to get feedback when you try to drive

• 10:36 am

• TeacherThanks. She's giving it a try now.

• Student what insect are these wings from?
  Bugscope Teammonarch butterfly

• Bugscope Teamso the way you move the 'scope now is to click on a place on the screen, and the 'scope moves to that place.

• Bugscope Teamthat's a piece of dirt or something

• Bugscope Teamthe ridges and the latticework we see refract light and give us what are called 'structural colors'

• Bugscope Teamwe were about 72,000x magnification when we were zoomed in!

• Bugscope Teamthis microscope can resolve things as small as 2 nanometers under perfect condictions
  Bugscope Teamconditions
• TeacherWow!
• Bugscope Teamyou can see the scale bar right now is about as big as a single bacterium
• Bugscope Teamscales give the wings color, but they also protect butterflies and moths when they fly into spiderwebs by sticking to the web and letting the insect leave them there and slip out

• StudentI'm impressed
• Bugscope Teamscales also function like feathers do on a bird's wings
• TeacherCan John have control now, please?
• 10:42 am
• Bugscope Teamthey seemed to have disappeared from the list
• TeacherOK, thanks! Can David take control? The others are coming back in.
  Bugscope Teamdavid has control!
• Bugscope Teamwhen we use the microscope for research we have the ability to get much closer to the specimens and get better resolution
• StudentCan I see the moth head

• Bugscope Teamthese are scales, which are modified setae, on the moth head

• Bugscope Teamthe hole here is where something broke off, mabe a seta (bug hair)
• Bugscope Teamnow you can see the compound eye, with all of its facets, called ommatidia

• 10:47 am
• Bugscope Teamthe antenna on the moth is kind of slicked back down its back to the left of the screen
• Studenton the right of the eye, the thing hat points up, is that their nose or mouth
  Bugscope Teamkind of. It's a palp, which helps for tasting or moving around food

• Studentoh thank you
• Bugscope Teamthe moth is covered with scales

• Bugscope Teampalps are mouth parts. Its main mouthpart is the proboscis, which we can't see

• Bugscope Teamwe don't see the mouth here; often moths have a coiled proboscis

• Bugscope Teammoths and butterflies have some pretty compound eyes
• Studentwhy do they have so many ommatidia?
  Bugscope Teamthe ommatidia help the moth see all around it without moving its head; they give the moth better peripheral vision

• StudentHow many scales are there on the moth?
  Bugscope Teamthousands. And they help with giving the moth color or they can shed some to help get out of a sticky situation- like a spider web

• Bugscope Teamalso, having a compound eye is helpful to insects because they get much better updates when the visual field changes

• Studenthow many ommitidia do they have?
  Bugscope Teamthey probably have a few thousand per compound eye. Some wasps can have up to 17000 ommatidia
• Bugscope Teamthis is cool

• Bugscope Teamyou can see the tiny features on the surface of one ommatidium
• StudentThank you
• Studentthat's alot
• Bugscope Teammany moths can see ultraviolet wavelengths of light, and they can also see better in the dark

• 10:52 am
• StudentWhat is in the middle?
  Bugscope Teamthat is a seta, a single seta, like a hair, that is mechanosensory -- it senses touch and wind
• StudentThank you

• StudentWhy do they have so many eyes
  Bugscope Teamthey help the insect have very good peripheral vision, and they also update very quickly so the moth can register super fast motion

• TeacherDo all the ommatidium have seta in the corners?
  Bugscope Teamno not all. They are kind of spread out. There are some insects, like fruit flies and some bees, which have them between all the ommatidia.

• StudentOh Thankyou

• Bugscope Teamif you had eyes that were big and bulbous like that you could see much more without turning your head

• Studentwhat is on the eye
• Bugscope Teamthis is totally cool

• Bugscope Teamthose are brochosomes, which are super small particles produced by leafhoppers

• Bugscope Teamthe image is distorting a little bit now at this magnification on this part of the insect
• Studentcan i have control, and can we look at the yellow jacket tounge
  Bugscope Teamgot it Dude
• 10:58 am
• Bugscope Teamwhen we see those tiny features we are imaging at the nanoscale

• Bugscope Teamthese help with lapping up liquids

• Studentthis tounge looks funny, can you explain what part they are?
• Studentwhat is a nanoscale
  Bugscope Teamwe can see things that are millimeter sized, but we cannot see things on the microscale, like micrometers, and the nanoscale is even smaller

• Studentoh thanks
• TeacherHere's a link to a video I should have shown you before today, Sierra. We'll watch it later. http://ed.ted.com/on/1F1B2LsH

• StudentWhy is it shreded?
  Bugscope Teamit helps suck up liquids along the parts, kind of like a mop

• StudentThank you

• Bugscope Teambacteria are often 2 micrometers long; that is 2000 nanometers and 0.002 millmeters
• StudentSweet!

• Bugscope Teamoops 'millimeters'
• StudentI never knew a tiny bug had so many parts

• StudentAwesome!
• 11:03 am

• Bugscope Teamthe wavelengths of visible light run from about 400 to 700 nanometers; with this electron microscope we can see features that are smaller than the wavelengths of visible light
• Studentwhat are the little pointy things?
• Studentis this the inside of the tongue?
  Bugscope Teamwe were on the bottom of the mandible, which is the jaw
• Bugscope Teambrochosomes are usually 250 to 400 nanometers in diameter, so they are nano scale
• Studentthanks
• TeacherScot, what did you mean by "oops millimeters" I liked your description of nanoscale. It's right, isn't it?
• Bugscope Teamoh because I spelled millimeters wrong
• Bugscope Teammillimeters, micrometers (microns), nanometers...
• Studentwhat are the little pointy things?
• Studentwhat are the little pointy things?
  Bugscope Teamthose are microsetae, so small that they do not connect to nerves under the cuticle
• Bugscope Teaminsects have hairs all over their bodies. They help with sensations like touch or taste, depending on what kind of hairs they are
• Studentthank you
• Studentsweet, thanks
• StudentCan I have control and can we look at the water bettle
  Bugscope Teamyou are now the Supreme Ruler

• 11:08 am

• Bugscope Teamit is possible if you look at the fine filterlike setae you will find diatoms

• Studentwhat body part is this
  Bugscope Teamthat is the face of the water beetle
• Bugscope Teamyou can see its antennae and its compound eyes

• Bugscope Teamalso you can see its mouthparts

• Studentis this the arm

• Bugscope Teamits mandibles, and the clypeus, which is the part on top, and also its palps, which are accessory mouthparts that help it taste and also manipulate its food
• StudentWhat body part is this?
  Bugscope Teamthis is one of the forelegs, so we are somewhere on the thorax

• StudentThank you

• 11:13 am
• StudentIs this a joint
• TeacherWhat has MaKenna zoomed into now?
  Bugscope Teamthis is one of the joints, as David noted, and there is a bunch of debris here, but we don't see any diatoms, yet
• Bugscope Teamthat is a ball and socket joint that has different segments to it
• Bugscope Teamyou could compare it to the ant antenna ball and socket joint
• TeacherScot, we are getting our lunches and we'll be right back for a few more minutes if that's OK.
  Bugscope Teamgreat!
• TeacherThis is fascinating. We always have to go back and re-read the transcript though to see what we've learned.

• 11:19 am
• TeacherNow, some of us are back with food. Do you think you can control and show us some more?
• Bugscope Teamoh this is an ant
• Bugscope Teamants are closely related to wasps and bees
• Bugscope Teamyou can tell an ant from a wasp because it has a long straight portion on its antennae close to the head -- I've been trying to remember what it's called
• Studentis it the head
  Bugscope Teamyes we are seeing the front of the head. You can barely see the eyes on the side of the head and one of the antenna is coming to the front
  Bugscope Teamwe are mostly seeing the mouthparts
• Bugscope Teamalmost all ants are females
• Bugscope Teamif you see an ant with wings, it is a male
• Bugscope Teamexcept the queen ant may also have wings when she is young

• Bugscope Teamnow I moved us to the yellowjacket head
• Bugscope Teamit has some scales on the head maybe from a mosquito or a moth
• Bugscope Teamthe yellowjacket has large compound eyes, and you can see the bases of its antennae here
• Studentis that hair?
  Bugscope Teamlots and lots of hair, called setae
• 11:24 am
• Bugscope Teamthe long setae (hairs) on the top of the head are likely also sensory, letting the wasp feel wind and thus calculate windspeed
• Studentthose lines on the face, what are they
  Bugscope Teamthey are joints for the mandibles
• Bugscope Teamthere are lots of tiny scales from a moth or butterfly on the wasp's head
• Bugscope Teamthe mandibles -- the jaws -- open side to side, unlike our mandibles
• Bugscope Teamthe mandibles have serrated edges like a spork, kind of
• Studentwhat is the ridged thing pointing to the left
• Bugscope Teamlike a combination spoon/fork
• Bugscope Teamso this right here is one of the mandibles, and to the left of it is the hinge of the other mandible, which is folded under
• Studentwhat is the burlap looking thing
  Bugscope Teamthe wasp tongue is what that is
• Studentis that like the tongue we looked at earlier?
  Bugscope Teamyes it is
• Bugscope Teamthe tongue of a bee is called a glossa, and I think it is also called a glossa in a wasp
• 11:30 am
• Bugscope Teamthis is a lcloseup of one of the scales we found on the wasp's mandible
• Studentare these wings?
  Bugscope Teamthese are scales on the wing

• Bugscope Teamthis you can tell is not an insect because it has more than six legs
• Studentwhat is this?
  Bugscope Teamit is a millipede
• Studentok thank you guys we have to go now
• StudentThank you bye!
  Bugscope TeamOH NO!
• TeacherScot and Cate, thank you so much for the session. We are going to have to go now.
• Studentthanks for helping us bye!
• Bugscope TeamThank You!
• Bugscope TeamThanks, have a great day
• Bugscope TeamSee you next year!
• StudentBye
• StudentBye thank you
• StudentBye thank a lots
• StudentThanks so much! we appreciate it!
