• 7:18 am
• Bugscope Teamputting the sample in in a sec
• Bugscope Teamsample is in the 'scope and pumping down
• Bugscope Teamas soon as the sample is pumped down we will start making presets for today's session
• 7:29 am

• 7:35 am

• 7:40 am

• Bugscope Teamnow we're making presets...

• 7:46 am

• 7:51 am

• Bugscope Teamgood morning!
• Bugscope TeamWelcome to Bugscope!
• Bugscope TeamWe have one or two more presets to make for today's session.

• 7:57 am

• Bugscope Teamcan you read this?

• Bugscope Teamwe are ready to roll!
• Bugscope Teamhello!
• Bugscope Teamcan you read this?
• Bugscope Teamif you cannot see the stinkbug and the text below, it is possible you will need to modify your screen resolution
• 8:03 am
• Bugscope Teamyou should see a central screen with a stinkbug on it, just now, and to the left and right are blue circles with arrows in them
• Bugscope Teamdirectly beneath the central screen is the chat box
• Bugscope Teamyou have control of the microscope and can change mag, click to center, select from any of the presets on the lefthand screen by clicking on them...
• Bugscope TeamHello!
• Teacherwe are having trouble connecting. I'm trying to get them there.
• Bugscope TeamYay! You are on now!
• Bugscope Teamwhen you open the individual computers you do not need to log in as yourself. You can log in as a student, and it will not require a password
• 8:09 am
• Bugscope Teamonce you are on as the Teacher, the software recognizes the other computers from the same general domain as coming from your school. so you don't need your password
• Bugscope TeamHello VBull, Bulldogs, Caden, Valentina and Nira, Lizeth Cade, Fa Fa...
• Bugscope Teamwelcome to Bugscope!
• Bugscope TeamHello Pit Bull!
• Bugscope Teamplease let us know when you have questions

• Bugscope Teamthis is a super strange-looking fly
• Bugscope TeamHello Nick, Zack, Crystal, Chunyin, and Michelle!
• Studenthello
• Bugscope TeamWelcome to Bugscope!
• Bugscope TeamHi Zack!
• Studenthi
• Bugscope Teamcan you see the fly?
• Studenthi
• 8:14 am
• Studenthello
• Studenthi
• Studentyes
• Bugscope TeamHi Lizeth Cade!
• Studenthow long were you a sientise?
• Studentyes
  Bugscope Teamawesome
• Bugscope Teamplease let me know when you have questions
• Studenthey johanna
• Studenthey its Johanna
  Bugscope Teamtotally cool hello Johanna!
• Studenthey
• StudentWHAT ARE THES KIND OF BUGS
  Bugscope Teamthis is a fly. we thought it was a housefly, but at higher magnification we can see that it has a kind of snout!
• Studentdo you have lady bags
  Bugscope Teamyes there is one on here as well
• StudentHI
• Studentyes
• Studenthow are you
  Bugscope Teamgood! good! good! I am happy you are all on with us!
• Studentdo you have spiders
• Studentwhat is this thing?
• Studentwe ment lady bugs
  Bugscope Teamthere is one on there to the upper left of this fly
• Studentwhy does it have like those strings
  Bugscope Teamthe things that look like strings are bristles or hairs, more commonly called setae, and they help the insect sense its surroundings
• Studentcool
• Studentwhy do we have bugs?
• StudentWHATS A STINK BUG
  Bugscope TeamIt is a type of true bug that can emit a bad smell that discourages other insects and animals from eating it
• StudentHOW DO YOU NOW ABOUT BUGS SO MUCH
  Bugscope Teamwe have been working with them for a long time now
• StudentGood Morning Scot - We are working out the "bugs" here. Love the pictures.
• Studentdo you have a stink bug
  Bugscope Teamyes we do!
• Studentwhat is that on his noes
  Bugscope Teamthere is some kind of dried film at the tip, not sure what it is
• Studentshow a nother bug
• Studentwhats the wasp head
• Studentwhy does it have a big like a bump on it
  Bugscope Teamthe bump to the left is the compound eye
• Studentwhat is a writing a reply

• Studentwalking sticks?
  Bugscope Teamthey are too big; if we get them we have to make them smaller to fit on the stub
• 8:19 am
• Studentwhat is this
• Studentare they butterflies
• StudentHOw do we changre the image of what we are seeing on the large screen?
  Bugscope TeamI have given you, Hope 03, control, so you can drive
• StudentIS THE ROLLIE POLLIE FAST
• Studentwhy do you have bugs
• Studentwhat is that animal

• Studentwhat kind of rolly poly tarsus is it
  Bugscope Teamthe tarsus is what we call the 'forearm' of an insect or in this case a crustacean, which is what rolypolies are.
• StudentSCOT
• StudentHow did you catch those bugs
  Bugscope Teamsometimes we trap them under cups and them pick them up and freeze them
• Studentthat is a spider eyes
• Studentshow a nother one.
• StudentHOW DO STINKBUGS STINK
  Bugscope Teamthey have glands on the ventral side -- the underside -- that emit the bad smell
• Studentdo you have a ants
  Bugscope Teamnot today, I'm sorry
• StudentWHY IS IT HARRY?
• StudentWhat is a spider eye look like
  Bugscope Teamthey are kind of smooth, like what we see here -- that is, they do not have facets like compound eyes
• Studentyes it is a spider eyes
• Studentth is cool
• Studentwhy does spiders have eyes around there head
  Bugscope Teamhaving them around their head is good so that they can see in more directions at once
• StudentANCER
  Bugscope Teamsorry what was your question?
• Studenthow many eyes do brown liceese spiders have?
• Studentwear does a spider live
• Studenthow do you catch it
  Bugscope Teamwe often trap them and then freeze them
• Studenthow do spider see
• StudentWe are going to move to the stinkbug head and compare to spider eye.

• Studenthow does it help him survive
• Studenthow does it see with hair
  Bugscope Teamit doesn't see with the hairs, which are called setae, but it senses vibration
• Studentcool
• Studenthow do it suvirve rodney
  Bugscope Teamthey do their best, and it is rough world for them
• 8:24 am
• Studentis this an ant
  Bugscope Teamthis is the stinkbug's head
• Studentno
• Studentthat is a ant
• Studentwhere is the eye
• Studentwhere is the mouth?
• Studentnick
• Studentwhy do spirder have 8 ess
  Bugscope TeamI think some have 6, but it is the spider's answer to what insects often do, which is to have bulbous compound eyes so they can see very well around them
• Studentdo a cool bug netx
• Studentstinky
• Studenthow does a stinckbug survive
• StudentWHY IS IT CALLED STINK BUG?
  Bugscope Teambecause it produces a bad smell to discourage other insects and animals from bothering it

• StudentWHY DOSE THE SPIDER HAVE 3 EYEBALLS
  Bugscope Teamthey help it see in more directions at one time
• Bugscope Teamthis looks like a grasshopper, doesn't it?
• Studentwhy does crickets chirp and have a big eye?
• StudentHOW DOES A CRICKET JUMP?
• Studentwhat do they eat
• Studentwhy dose it chirp
• Studentwhy do thay stay
  Bugscope Teamthe insects and other 'bugs' are dead, and we have fastened them to a metal stub and put them into the electron microscope so we can see them up close
• StudentDO STINK BUGS HAVE HAIR
  Bugscope Teamyes in a way
• Studentwhat is a katydid look
• Studentwhy is the eye so big
  Bugscope Teamjust so it can see better and also in more directions at once
• Studentwere is the mouth
  Bugscope Teamit's sort of covered by a film, to the right
• Studentwhy does it have no hair
• Studentwhy do thay chirp?

• Studenthow do you know everithing about bugs
  Bugscope Teamwe look things up and ask the entomologists lots of questions, and then we also have a lot of opportunities to see them
• Studentwhy does it looks like a grass hopper
  Bugscope Teamthey are related, like cousins
• StudentWHY DO THEY FLY
  Bugscope Teamit helps them to be able to escape predators and also find food
• Studentwhy does it have like that hard thing and its the one like up the tail
• 8:29 am
• Studentwhy does it look dark
  Bugscope Teamif the screen is dark, hit refresh on your browser
• Studentwhy does it have big head
• Studentway do yhay
• StudentTHANKS

• Studentyou are awesome
  Bugscope Teamhaha Thank You!
• Studentwhat is that
• Studentyes
• StudentWHY DO THEY DRINK BLOD
  Bugscope Teamblood has protein in it. insects take advantage of any kind of protein source (food)
• Studentwhy does it have a long nose
  Bugscope Teamthey don't have noses. It does kind of look like it has a beak though, doesn't it?
• Studentwhat kind of wasp is it
• StudentWHY IS THAT SO CROSS
• Studentwhat kind of wosp is this
  Bugscope Teamit is a small black wasp, and I am not sure what kind it is
• Studentshut up
• StudentWHY ARE THAT SCARY
• StudentI saw a fii
• Student?
• Studenthow do they sting
• Studentyou are coo
• Studentwhy do thay sting
  Bugscope Teamthey sting to protect themselves for the most part. Some wasps will sting other insects to inject their babies into them. The babies will then eat the insect from the inside out.
• Studentdoes it scoop blood
  Bugscope Teamnone of the insects in the 'scope today drink blood
• Student why look lick that
• StudentDO YOU HAVE ANY LARGE FLYS
  Bugscope Teamno just the little dude today
• StudentYOUR COOL
  Bugscope TeamHey Thank You!
• Studentwhy does it have a big mouth
• Studentis it dead scot
  Bugscope Teamyes I am sorry -- that is the only way to get them to be this still, but they also have to be very dry

• StudentOk, we will be out and then back within 5 minutes of leaving. Hopefully that's not a problem.
  Bugscope Teamthat should work fine
• Studentwhy is the mouth big?
  Bugscope Teamit's actually really small. The head itself is around 3-4 millimeters big
• StudentYOUR WELCOME
• Studentis it a jaw
• Studentscot you are cool
  Bugscope TeamThanks, Zack!
• Studentwhat cined of wosp is this
  Bugscope Teamit was probably a yellowjacket
• StudentWHAT IS THAT
• Studentyour awesome scott how do you know that much about bugs
• Studentdose it take blood
  Bugscope Teamusually it is only mosquitoes and some flies like horseflies that drink blood
• StudentARE THOSE THE LEGS?
  Bugscope Teamthese are the legs and claws from the katydid
• StudentBYE
• Studentwhy do crkits hop
  Bugscope Teamsame reason you walk- it's how they get around
• 8:34 am
• Studentare those clase
• Studentwhy does it have two claws
  Bugscope Teamthe claws help them grasp onto things. Kind of like how we use our hands
• Studentdo you see the spikes
  Bugscope Teamyes -- they are often mechanosensory, meaning they sense touch like cat or rat whiskers
• Studentwhat is that
• Bugscope Teambye
• Studentbye scot
  Bugscope TeamBye Nick!
• Studentwe ar living
  Bugscope Teamawwwww....
• StudentWe are walking out of the building for our fire drill. We will be right back. :)
  Bugscope TeamCool!
• Studentwere do they live
• Studentwhy does it have a long body
  Bugscope Teamsometimes it just helps to have a long body, depending on what you are doing
• Studentis this hiar
• Studentwere having a fire dril
• StudentARE THEY GROSE

• StudentWHY DO THEY HAVE SO MUCH SPIKS
  Bugscope Teamthe spikes help them sense their environment
• StudentWHAT ARE THE POINTY THINGS
  Bugscope Teamthose are all setae, or hairs, that help the insect to feel what is going on around it. The exoskeleton is similar to a suit of armor, and if you were wearing a suit of armor you wouldn't be able to feel through it. The hairs help them with that
• StudentCATE!
• Studentis it a jaw
• Studentby scot
• Studentwhat is those strings
• Studentwhy do thay defand tham savs
  Bugscope Teamso they can survive and produce more insects
• Studentwhat is that hairy stuff
• StudentIS THAT A LADY BUG
  Bugscope Teamthis is indeed a ladybug!
• StudentIS IT FURRY
  Bugscope Teamthey look furry, but they sure don't feel furry most of the time
• Studentis that a bone
  Bugscope Teamit is part of the exoskeleton; it is more like a shell
• Studentit is relley furry

• Studentit is hairy
• Studentis that a bone at the end
  Bugscope Teamthat it is the end of their leg where the claw is attached. It works kind of like a wrist
• Studentwhy does it have hairs
  Bugscope Teamthe hairs have multiple purposes: sensing hot/cold, sensing touch, sensing odors, and also keeping the temperature of the insect stable
• StudentARE THOSE CLAWS
  Bugscope Teamyes they are!
• Studentbye
  Bugscope TeamBye Nick! See you soon!
• 8:39 am
• Studentwhy do we have bugs
  Bugscope Teamsome bugs are really helpful in that they eat decomposing materials
• StudentWHAT DO LADY BUGS EAT
  Bugscope Teamthey eat aphids, which are a garden/agricultural pest.
• Studentwhat is that
• Studentwhat is that
  Bugscope Teamthose are the tiny tenent setae -- hairs that have sort of like suction cups at their tips so the insect can stick to surfaces
• StudentARE THOSE POTEY
• 8:44 am
• StudentWHAT ARE THOSE
  Bugscope Teamthese are special setae, or hairs, on the ladybug near the claw. These hairs help them to walk on vertical surfaces like the wall
• Studentno
• Studentwe are back to finish up. Let me know when we need to sign off. That you for being patient.
• StudentWHAT IS THAT
  Bugscope Teamthis is cool -- what we are looking at are the fine setae (hairs) that help the ladybug stick to surfaces
• StudentWEIRD
• Studentwhat is that
  Bugscope Teamthey are setae with suction-cup like tips
• Studenthi
• Studentwere can we find this kind of ladybug
  Bugscope Teamthey are everywhere it seems
• Studentwhy do the ladybugs have wigs
  Bugscope Teamit helps them get to their food. They kind of walk slow.
• Studentwhat part of the lady bug is it
  Bugscope Teamthis is on one of the arms
• Studentwere back
• Studentwhat part of the ladybug is that
• Studentdo you have grasshopers
• Studentwhat is that stuff
  Bugscope Teamsetae that help the lady bug cling to surfaces
• Studentwhat is that?
• Studentwhat is it
• StudentTHEY LOOK LIKE TENIS RACKETS
  Bugscope Teamthe shape does look like a tennis racket, but they work more like suction cups

• Bugscope Teamlet's take the magnification down so you can see where we are
  Bugscope Teamoops nevermind
• StudentWHATS ITS CALLED?
  Bugscope Teamthey are called tenent setae. Tenent comes from latin tenere- to hold
• StudentWHATS THAT
• Studentwhat is that
• Studenthow do they stink
• Studentis that sckin
• Studentwhat is that
• Bugscope Teamthis is one of the openings on the underside of the sitnkbug between the 1st and 2nd set of legs
• Studentwhat is it
• Bugscope Teamthis is where the bad smell comes out
• Studentwhy do stink bugs stink?
• Studentdry sckin
  Bugscope Teamhaha Yeah
• Studentis it inside or outside
  Bugscope Teamthis is an opening to the outside of the insect
• StudentOK
• Studentare those ticks
  Bugscope Teamno they aren't ticks. They do kind of resemble them. They are special areas on the exoskeleton that helps keep the stink bug from smelling its own stink

• StudentHOW DO YOU NO IT
• Studentwhat is that in side to scot
  Bugscope Teamit goes to a gland that produces the bad smell
• Studentwhat does it drink
• StudentCAN IT STINK UP THE HOUSE
  Bugscope Teamnot the whole house. You would have to have a lot of stink bugs for that. Maybe just a small area of the house

• 8:49 am

• Studentwhy do stink bugs dot sting wen thay are not crush
  Bugscope Teamthey don't have the ability to sting, although it is possible they could poke you with their mouthparts
• Studentits clo
• Studentwaht do thay eat?
  Bugscope TeamI think they eat the sap in plants, mostly
• Studentwhy does it have a claw
• Studentif you are 1feet away from a stinkbug will it stink
• Studentdo they get stuck on you
  Bugscope Teamnot badly
• StudentARE THEY SHARP
  Bugscope Teamthese are sharp enough for the stink bug, but they are so small we wouldn't really feel them. It would be like a mosquito biting an elephant
• Studentthat is that!
• Studentwhat do they eat ?
• Studentwhy do they sting
• Studentwhy is that puffy stuff
• StudentCAN IT SCRACH YOU
  Bugscope Teamthe claws are so small that they would only sort of tickle

• Studentthat ciaw is cool
• Bugscope Teamthis is the head of a caterpillar called a tobacco hornworm
• StudentWhere is the eye
• Studentwhy does it have spots on it
  Bugscope Teamsome of those spots are the eyes
• Studentwhat do there eat
• StudentWHAT ARE THE DOTS ON IT?
• Studentwhy does it look wherid
  Bugscope Teama lot of insects look weird, and especially caterpillars like this
• StudentWHERE ARE THE EYES
  Bugscope Teamthere are five or six eyes on each side of the head, and they look like bumps
• StudentWERE IS THE MOTH
• Studentwere are it`s eyes
• Studentis it poison
  Bugscope Teamthis one is not poisonous
• Studentdos the claw help
  Bugscope Teamit's sort of like the same way we use our hands
• Studentwhat kind of cattipeller is it
  Bugscope Teamit is a tobacco hornworm
• Students
• StudentIS THAT BIG
  Bugscope Teamthis one was only about an inch long, but they get as big as a fat finger
• Studentgfgtregtfgbgcnes

• Studentit is ugiey
  Bugscope Teamif we could see it in color it would be so pretty
• StudentTHAT IS BIG
• Studentdoes it eat leaves
  Bugscope TeamI think that is what they do, so they can grow and then turn into a moth
• Studentwhy does it have a lot of bumps
  Bugscope Teamcaterpillars don't have compound eyes like the adult insects. A lot of larvae have simple eyes, kind of like a spider has. They will appear to be little bumps on their head
• Studentwhat is an earwig
• 8:55 am
• Studentwhat is a earwig
  Bugscope Teamit is an insect that is a plant pest
• StudentWHO ARE YOU CATE
  Bugscope TeamCate made today's sample for us.
  Bugscope TeamI work with Scot in the lab at the University of Illinois.3
• StudentCOOL
• Studentis that a claw
• StudentCOOL
• Studentcool
• Studentwhat dos it do
• Studentwhat is that?
• Studentyou are cool

• Studentis cool
• Studentwow

• Studentwhat is a earwig cercopods
  Bugscope Teamthe pinchers, or pincers, are called cercopods
• StudentWHAT ARE TOSE 2 BIG SPIKS
  Bugscope Teamthose are the pinchers on the earwig
• StudentWOW
• Studentwhat is a that cool thaing
• StudentIF THEY BITE WILL IT HURT
  Bugscope TeamI think it is more like a surprise pinch
• StudentCAN IT STING
  Bugscope Teamno it doesn't have a stinger
• Bugscope Teamthis is a female earwig; we know because the males have a different shape of pincers
• Studentwhat is that bumpy stuff

• StudentDo those hurt if it bites
  Bugscope TeamI haven't been pinched by one that I know of
• Studentcan thay hert you?
  Bugscope TeamI don't think so, not really
• Studentwhst is it
• Studenteeeeewwwww
• Studentcan this bite
• Studentwhat is that
  Bugscope Teamthis is called a haltere, and it is what flies have to balance the motion of their wings
• Studentis that its claw
• Studentyuuuuuuuuuuuuk
• Studentwhat kind of part is it
  Bugscope Teamthis is a haltere. They beat opposite the wings on flies. They help balance the fly when flying
• Bugscope Teamyou can see that it has those cool ridges on it close to the fly's body
• Studentwhat is it
• Studentwhat part of the wing is it
  Bugscope Teamit is considered a modified hindwing
• Studentit looks cool and gross.
• Studentwhat kind of fly is these
• Studentit is cool
• Studentwhat is that
• Studentit is a fly haltere w wing scale
  Bugscope Teamyes the wing scale is the pronged things sticking up
• Bugscope Teamthe thing that looks like it is deflated is normally round like a ball
• Studentis that part of the wing?

• 9:00 am
• StudentI know we are nearing the end of our session. Is there anything of interest we should check out that we haven't?
  Bugscope Teamwe have seen most of what is on today's stub, but I just took us to one of the prolegs of the caterpillar
• Studentwhat is the thing sticking out of it
  Bugscope Teamthat was a scale sticking out
• Studentcan a fly cery tis baby
  Bugscope TeamI don't think they do carry their babies -- the babies are wriggly little worm-like things -- maggots
• Bugscope Teamthis is the 'proleg' of the tobacco hornworm larva, which is what the caterpilar is
• Bugscope Teamthe little hooks we see are called crochets
• StudentThey are asking if those are leg like
  Bugscope Teamthey are accessory legs, in addition to the six 'normal' legs
• Bugscope Teamthe caterpillar has six more normal legs near its head, and at the end of the body, or along the rest of its body, it has these 'prolegs'
• StudentWhat colors do they come in?
  Bugscope Teamthey are generally green but have pinks and yellows on them as well
• Bugscope Teamthey become large moths
• 9:05 am
• Bugscope Teamthe warmer weather helps to to survive more year round. There are also some the overwinter in people's homes
• StudentI don't want to keep you too much longer. How do insects survive so well in the South like GA where we are?
  Bugscope Teamit is mostly the temperature staying warm so long, and the moisture, and the plants that also live longer into the winter

• StudentWill I be able to print these images to save?
  Bugscope TeamI think so. They are all saved to your member page.
• Bugscope Teamhttps://bugscope.beckman.illinois.edu/members/2012-073
• StudentThey are wondering what a bacterium is?
  Bugscope Teama bacterium is what a single bacteria is called. bacteria are what we often refer to as germs, although there are other germs as well. bacteria are tiny one-celled creatures that do not have nuclei like our cells do
• Studentthank you
• Studentthank you
• Studentthank you
• Studentthank you
• Studentthank you
• StudentScot & Cate we are logging off. I have enjoyed it. We are losing attention span here.
• Studentthank you
• Bugscope Teamthanks for using bugscope this morning!
• Bugscope Teamthe things we see now that look like tiny whiffle balls are brochosomes, which are usually 250 to 400 nanometers in diameter and are produced only by leafhoppers.
• Bugscope TeamThank You Everyone!
• Studentthank you so much and by
• Bugscope TeamBye you all!
• StudentScot Thank you
• Studentthank youuuuuu
• StudentI hope we weren't too trying. :)
• Bugscope Teamno you were all great!
• Bugscope TeamIt was really fun to work with you. See you next year!
• 9:11 am
• Bugscope Team\
• Bugscope Teamit's always great to talk directly with the kids
• Bugscope Teamhttps://bugscope.beckman.illinois.edu/members/2012-073
• Bugscope Teamthat is your member page...
• Bugscope Teamgood bye, and thank you!
