• 8:30 am
• Bugscope Teamtoday's sample is pumping down
• 8:41 am

• 8:49 am

• 8:56 am

• Bugscope Teamgood morning, Jose!
• 9:01 am

• Bugscope Teammorning

• 9:06 am

• 9:11 am

• Bugscope Teamhahahahaha
• Bugscope Teamdon king

• 9:18 am
• Guestgood morning, this is jose from Jose Marti MAST, we have a date next week

• Bugscope Teamhey super cool, Jose

• GuestI did a session from Tampico, Mexico in 2011, why aren't we on the map??

• Bugscope Teamwhoa I am not sure
• Bugscope Teamum because it's automated? really not sure -- it should have come up

• 9:23 am

• Guestnot important, see you next Thursday.
• Bugscope Teamwe'll look forward to it, Jose
• Bugscope TeamWelcome to Bugscope!
• GuestHello
• GuestHELLO !!
• GuestHello (:
• Studenthi
• GuestHeello(:
• Bugscope TeamHello Everyone!
• TeacherHi! Our school (LSA) isnow here. Great to see you!)
• Studenthola
• Bugscope Teamhello
• Bugscope TeamCate just did the presets and is heading up to her office to log in.
• Guesthi
• GuestHow are you today
• Bugscope Teamplease let us know when you have questions
• 9:28 am
• Studentok
• GuestHi!

• Studenthi
• Bugscope Teamwe've lost our ability, temporarily, to 'seize' questions and answer them individually, but things should work well today
• Bugscope Teamhi everyone!
• Bugscope Teammoths can see UV light
• Bugscope Teamthis is what the compound eye of insects look like up close
• Bugscope Teamwhich we cannot -- we need to use a blacklight in order to see those wavelengths of light
• GuestCan moths see like us
• Bugscope Teamthey can see sort of like us but not all of the colors we see, probably

• Studenthow much dose bugs way =)
• GuestHow many of those are on each eye?
• Bugscope Teamoften insects have a limitation in the visible light wavelengths they can see
• Guestwhy dose the eye shape?

• Bugscope Teamhow much do they weigh? tenths of grams, average for these
• Bugscope Teamthe eye shape is based on how a circular lens can best fit into a dome shape
• Bugscope Teaminsects can't see red, i think

• Studenthieyyyyy allison
• Studenthi!
• GuestWhat ar ethe dots on the eyes?
• Bugscope Teamso often they are hexagonal or pentagonal, like this
• GuestWhat are the little dots?
• Guestare the***

• Bugscope Teamwe think those dots help trap and direct the light to the receptors underneath
• GuestWHAT ARE THE LITTLE DOTS ON THE MOTH ?
• Bugscope Teamthey are kind of like the rods and cones we have in our eyes
• GuestWhat do they eat?
• Bugscope TeamI'm sure someone has a name for them but I am not sure -- they are actually on the nanoscale
• GuestWow you can see the circles! What are they called?
• Bugscope Teamwe could make a name up for them and that would be it
• GuestNano scale? What is that?
• 9:33 am
• GuestO.o !!!!

• Studenthow many types of moths are there
• Guesthow about.. dottles :D
• Studentwhat are the dots
• Bugscope Teamvisible light is in the nanoscale
• Guestvisble ligh?
• Bugscope Teamnanoscale means that that they are smaller than micrometers; they can be measured in nanometers
• GuestOkay thank ya (:
• Bugscope Teamvisible light is in the wavelengths from about 400 to 700 nanometers
• Studentwhat are cerci =)
• Bugscope TeamUV light is about 254 to 350 or so nanometers
• GuestThats small.

• GuestThis is amazing!
• Bugscope Teamwe can see that the tiny dots are much smaller than a micrometer in diameter
• GuestThats pretty cool! What do they prey on?

• GuestWhat do the hairs do?
• Studenthow many types of moths are there
• Bugscope TeamJohn Aaron cerci are the little tails that some insects have; there are different kinds
• GuestWhat do the hairs do?
• Bugscope Teamthe hairs, which we call setae when they are on insects, are there to help the insect to feel what is going on around it
• Guestwhat are the hairs for?

• GuestI think the hairs are feelers alli.
• Bugscope Teamno they won't hurt you, though they do look sharp
• Bugscope Teamjune bugs are plant feeders, so they eat leaves of plants or petals of flowers
• GuestCAN THE HAIRS HELP THEM DEFEND THEMSELVES ?

• GuestHow small are the hairs? Can you actually see them?
• GuestWhat are the little flakes on the claw?
• Guestwhat are the claws made of?
• Bugscope Teamthe claws are made of the same materials as the rest of their shell, a material called chitin

• Studenthow many skeletons are there in the insects
• Bugscope Teamthe hairs are feelers: mechanosensory; but some are thermosensory, some are chemosensory, some are used for proprioception
• Bugscope Teamon some insects the hairs to help protect them from other things. Even on some spiders. The caterpillars, the hairs can be poisonous or just bother the predator trying to eat it. So usually things leave them alone
• Studentif the hairs ever break off will they grow back
• GuestHow small are they ?
• GuestProbably protrct them alli>.
• Bugscope Teamno, things don't grow back on the insects. They live for such a short amount of time that it doesn't usually matter
• 9:38 am

• GuestDo they ever molt their shell ?
• GuestCount tristan.
• Bugscope Teamyou can use the scalebar at the lower left of the screen to get an idea of the sizes of what we are looking at
• Bugscope Teamthe hairs that you see here will not grow back if it gets broken off, adults don't have that regenerative ability
• GuestWHAT DO THEY EAT ?
• Bugscope Teamtarantulas live a long time and they do molt. When they molt, things that broke off them will be all good as new
• GuestWhy is there sections on the legs
• Bugscope Teamas adults, insects no longer molt and are in their final form
• Bugscope Teamthe sections on the legs help them to bend.
• GuestThanks ya much . ((:
• Bugscope Teamthey are kind of like a suit of armor. they need sections to move around
• GuestDo june bugs bite or sting or anything ?
• Studenthow many sections are there?
• Studentwhat is the opening for ?
• GuestAre there any insects that we can see hamuli hooks

• Bugscope TeamI don't think we saw any hamuli this morning
• Bugscope Teamthere is a bumblebee in the microscope this morning, but we can't see any hamuli on it. Sorry
• GuestDoes the barbed setae protect the bumblebee?
• Bugscope TeamJune bugs could bite but they don't seem to. They do not sting.
• Bugscope Teamjune bugs don't have stingers, they might try to bite you, but i doubt any of them can break your skin
• Guestwhat about some with haltere
• GuestI thought they were kind of like ticks .
• Studentwhat makes the firefly light up?
• GuestWhy do the antenne go different ways?
• Bugscope Teami don't think we have any flies today either. They would have halteres.
• Bugscope Teamthe barbed setae help them collect pollen, and they likely also help with thermoregulation -- keeping an even temperature
• Gueston the firefly antenna why are some of the hairs up and some going down ?
• Studentwhat are the hairs
• GuestWhat is the even temperature?
• Bugscope Teamfireflies have a protein called luciferin or luciferase that lights up chemically
• 9:43 am
• Bugscope Teamfireflies have a specialized organ that houses special chemicals
• Bugscope Teamsome of these hairs might help with sense of touch. Others might help with sensing chemical signals in the air
• GuestIve always wondered how fireflies light up ?
• Studentthank you=)
• Guestwhere on the firefly is the antenna
• Student=)
• Guestare these setae on the picture?
• Bugscope Teamyes they are chelsey
• Bugscope Teamthe antennae are on the head of the beetle between the eyes
• GuestWHY IS THERE LIKE LINES ON SOME OF THEM AND SOME OF THEM ARE JUST STRAIGHT ?
• Bugscope Teambees can swarm around an insect and create so much heat that it kills that insect -- such as a predator that has entered their hive
• GuestOh, ok! thank you?
• StudentWhy is their hair so different from human hair?
• Guestthankk you
• Bugscope TeamTee it is because some are mechanosensory and some are chemosensory

• Studenthow long do fireflies live?
• Bugscope Teamfireflies and other insects use a series of tubes that bring oxygen directly to every cell
• Bugscope Teamthe ones that are fluted -- with the lines on them -- are more rigid and thus likely mechanosensory
• GuestWhat is mechanosensory and chemosensory?

• Bugscope Teaminsects do not have lungs; they have spiracles -- little pores on either side of each segment -- through which they conduct air through tracheae into the body cavity
• GuestO.o ! Thankks (:
• GuestHow do fireflies breathe ? Do they have lungs ?
• Bugscope Teamair is let in through holes on the sides of the body (spiracles), and the tracheal tubes bring the oxygen thoughout the body

• Bugscope Teammechano is touch sensity
• Bugscope Teamchemo is smell or odor sensitivity
• Bugscope Teamchemosensory is recognition of different chemicals
• GuestThank you!
• GuestThank you ^_^
• Bugscope Teamsensitivity...
• Guestit looks like that bug has a bad case of dandruff
• Bugscope TeamEric Cate said that this morning about one of the other insects we were working with
• Bugscope Teamhaha, well they don't have access to head and shoulders
• Guestlool(:
• 9:48 am

• Studentwhat do the hairs help do?
• GuestWhy do they have so many hairs?
• Bugscope Teamthe hairs serve the purpose of what our skin does for us, in a way
• GuestWht is there so many hairs?
• Bugscope Teamso they are sensory, as we have been saying -- they help the insects sense their environment
• Bugscope Teamthey can't feel things through their exoskeletons, like we can our skin. They use these hairs to help them with that
• Bugscope Teamthe hairs are used for different sensing functions, since they have an exoskeleton, it allows they to feel the environment around them in different ways
• Studentty (:
• Bugscope Teamyou could think of all of the hairs as comparable to all of the nerve endings in your skin

• Bugscope Teamwe can see from the scalebar that the compound eye is nearly a millimeter in diameter
• GuestWhy is the antenna broken up into segments?
• Guestok thank you!!
• GuestDo they have a heart?
• GuestThe bigger the insect the bigger the eye?
• Studenthow many compound eyes does an insect have as an average

• Bugscope Teamthe segments help the antenna to bend and move around
• Bugscope Teamwhereas something like an ant which rely more on its sense of smell/taste usually have smaller eyes (relatively speaking)
• Bugscope Teamthat's right -- as Cate says -- insects have an exoskeleton; they do not have skin. and the exoskeleton is like wearing armor
• Bugscope Teaminsects have 2 compounds eyes
• Studentty
• GuestThank You
• Bugscope TeamTristan there is a range from just a few ommatidia in some ants, for example, to as many as 17,000 ommatidia per eye in some large wasps
• GuestWhy does the bug look like dust?
• GuestWhat is the little thing in the front of the mouth?
• Bugscope Teammany flying insects also have three ocelli -- simple eyes -- on the top of the head
• Studenthow strong is the exoskeleton?
• GuestHow many different kinds of antennas are there?

• Bugscope Teamnot sure why the bug looks like dust but eventually it will become dust
• Bugscope Teamcerebral ganglie
• Bugscope Teamoops ganglia
• Bugscope Teamactually some insects have a brain
• 9:53 am
• GuestWhich ones do?
• Guestwhat is the barbed joint for??

• GuestHow big do you think the brain is?
• Studenthow big is the ganglia
• Bugscope Teammuch of the brain in a fruit fly, for example, is devoted to processing visual signals
• Bugscope Teamthe barbed joints help the grasshopper cling to surfaces
• GuestWhat kind of visual signals?
• GuestCan any insects actually see humans and purposely attack them?
• Studentcan insects shed their skin?
• Bugscope Teami think the brain is about as big as the head it is in
• Bugscope Teamthe sizes of the ganglia or brain depends on the size of the head, as Cate says
• GuestWhy is this joint important ?
• Guestwoah, coool !
• Guesthow powerful is the leg??
• Bugscope Teaminsects don't have a closed circulatory system like we do, they do have a "heart" that acts as a pump drawing the hemolymph (blood) in and pumping it to other areas (namely the head and the extremeties), but not a chambered heart like we do
• GuestWhy does it look like scales?
• Bugscope Teamvisual signals like seeing all around them so they can avoid getting eaten
• Bugscope Teaminsects molt as larvae (young) but no longer molt (shed skin) as adults
• Bugscope Teamthe legs are very powerful. They are full of muscle and are very big.
• Studentwhat makes there color?
• Bugscope Teamhowever spiders (no insects) continue to molt in their adult phase
• Bugscope Team*not
• Guestwhat do grasshoppers eat ?
• GuestSo the visual signals protect them?
• Guestok thank you!!
• GuestWhy does the thorax look like it does?
• GuestHow is the grasshopper allowed to jump soo high ?
• Guesthow do grasshopers eat??
• Bugscope Teamgrasshoppers eat a variety of plants

• Bugscope TeamVisual signals is what you see with your eyes, and because many insects have multiple inputs because they have compound eyes, they need to be able to process all of that information
• Bugscope Teamat dense populations, grasshoppers become what we know as locusts
• GuestLike what variety of plants?
• Guestoh! thank you, SCot
• Studentwhat are the legs connected to?

• Bugscope Teamif you had big domelike compound eyes you would have very good peripheral vision, and you would also have the benefit of having very quick updates as to what is around or approaching you so you can avoid it
• Bugscope Teamthey eat a lot of different plants
• GuestThanks!
• GuestDo they eat flowers
• GuestWhy are the butterflies wings colored?
• 9:58 am
• Bugscope Teamonly one grasshopper species is specialized in their diet, feeding on only one plant
• Bugscope Teamgrasshoppers use their jaws to chew food
• Bugscope Teamthe legs are connected to the thorax, and in some insects to the prothorax, I believe (in that case forelegs)
• GuestDo you think their buglife is rough?
• GuestWow this looks like a window! why?
• Guestwhy are the butterfly wings colored and have holes??
• Bugscope Teambutterflies have scales that are responsible for their wing colours
• Studentwhay are the scales the color they are

• Bugscope Teamthe little oval things are pigment granules, which gives some color to the scales
• Bugscope Teamthe colors of butterfly wings help them identify each other and also alert other insects and birds that they are poisonous
• Studentthanks:)
• GuestWhat type of insect is this from??
• GuestDoes pigment keep color in your skin?
• Guestwhat are setae for??
• GuestWhat kind of insect is this from ?
• Bugscope Teamif they are poisonous...
• Bugscope Teamthese setae help the insect to walk on walls

• Bugscope Teamthe structure of the scale (like what you see here) can be responsible for a variety of colours, some colours are from pigment granules (as Cate just said) others (in particular iridescent colours) are from the way light reflects and refracts from the different tiny structures
• GuestWhy does it look like a cave? And what is it?
• Bugscope Teampeople have different layers of skin; if the pigment is in the epidermis it can be sloughed off. If it is in the dermis it is more permanent
• GuestO.o ! TThankkkssssssssssssssssssssss (:
• GuestThe butterfly looks mean
• Bugscope Teamthis is a moth, and its eyes help it see all around it as well as allowing it to pick up a maximum of light at night
• Studentwhat is the head conected to
• GuestWhy do months chew threw things??
• GuestDo they have a neck ^^
• GuestWhy are there hair like structures around the eyes ?
• Bugscope Teamyou can see that there are scales all over its body, even its head
• Bugscope Teamit is covered with scales, which are actually modified setae as well; the scales serve a number of purposes including escaping from spider webs
• Bugscope Teamthey don't have much of a neck
• Bugscope TeamThe head connects to the thorax, which has all the legs on it.
• Guestokkkkkkkk BYYEEEEE (: THANKKSSSSSS FOR EVERYYTHHIINNG ......
• Studentthank you for all the help:)
• Bugscope Teamyou can sort of see the curled up proboscis in the middle there
• 10:03 am
• Bugscope Teammoths chew through things because they get nutrients that way
• Bugscope Teamthe smooth tube between the eyes
• GuestButterflies look so creepy up close. Why is the straw like that? And why does the hairs look like feathers up close?
• GuestTHHHAAAANKKKKK YOOOOOOUUU!!!(:
• Guestthank you for all the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BYE
• Studentwe must go now THANKS for anything bye!!!!!!!!!:)
• Bugscope TeamMany of the hairs are sclales, and they do indeed look like feathers; in some ways they have a function comparable to that of feathers
• Studenteverything
• Bugscope Teamscales, sorry
• Bugscope TeamThank You!
• TeacherDear Bugscope team, Thanks for everything! Students havae to go to their next class. It was great, and they have lots of pictures to include in their power point.
• Bugscope TeamBye!
• StudentThanks for all the answers. Byeeeeeeee (:
• Bugscope Teamthe straw is shaped like that to allow them to suck up nectar from flowers, usually at the base of the flower, so it harder to reach without the straw
• GuestAwsome thanks alot!!!
• Bugscope Teamis there another class, or is this it?
• 10:44 am

• 10:53 am
• Bugscope TeamHello!

• Bugscope Teamwe are back!
• Bugscope Teamhello!
• 11:03 am
• Studenthi im Rachel
• Studenthey
• Bugscope Teamhello!
• Studenthey
• Bugscope Team welcome to Bugscope!
• Studenthi scot
• Bugscope Teamhi!
• Bugscope Teamhi
• Studenthello scott im jacob
• Bugscope Teamthis is a pollen grain we found on a firefly this morning
• TeacherHello again bugscope team!
• Studenthow is your day going
• Studenthello my name is Dayton
• Bugscope TeamRachel, Riley, Jacob, Dayton!
• StudentHowie has entered
• Studentand jordan :(
• Bugscope TeamHi Howie!
• Bugscope TeamSpiders can live pretty long, some can live up to 25 years
• Studentthats cool!
• Bugscope TeamOh Man! Sorry, Jordan!
• Bugscope Teamof course this is dependent on the species
• Bugscope Teamand conditions of its environment
• StudentHi again
• Bugscope TeamHello James!
• Studenthow do spiders reproduce3
• StudentHello, so which insect has the longest life span, and how long?

• Studentwhat spider is the deadliest?!
• Bugscope Teamthe male spiders transfer a packet of sperm to the female using their pedipalps
• Studentwhat is this picture
• Bugscope Teamtermite queens is probably one of the longest living insects
• Bugscope Teamsome of those have been known to live for decades, 40+ years
• Bugscope Team*are
• StudentCool!
• Studentwhats the biggest insect
• Bugscope Teamthis is a live image of a cerambycid beetle
• StudentHow do you tell if a spider is deadly?
• Bugscope Teamgoliath beetle or titan beetle
• Studentwhat's in the thing that looks like a mouth?
• StudentHi my name is Gabriella
• Studenthi
• Bugscope Teambut also, there are walking sticks that can be like 21 inches long
• Studentawesome
• Bugscope Teamtermite queens live for many years- 25 to 50 years
• TeacherI don't sem to have the controls. What is the insect we are looking at?
• Bugscope TeamDory you have the controls now.
• Studentwhat is the biggest spider
• Studenthi my name is hunter
• Studenthow many insects are there that you know of
• 11:08 am
• StudentWhat are the hairs called that are sticking out of it
• Bugscope Teamthis is a cerambycid beetle
• Studentsetae
• Studentsetae
• Bugscope Teamthe hairs are called setae (see-tee)
• Studentsetae
• Studenthow long are the leg of this picture?
• Bugscope Teamsingular is seta
• Studentthank you scot!

• Studenthi i'm wade
• Studentwhat's in the thing that looks like a mouth?
• Bugscope Teamblack widow is one of the deadlier ones
• TeacherThanks. Trying to see the bumblebee claw.
• Studenthow many insects are there that you know of
• Bugscope Teambird eater tarantulas are probably one of the largest spiders
• StudentWhy do bees need the claw or whatever?
• Bugscope TeamJordan anything you see you can use the scalebar on the lower left to help you judge its size or length

• Bugscope Teamthere are about 1 million described species of insects
• Studentwhat is the biggest spider
• Bugscope Teamthey need claws kind of for the same reasons we have hands, actually
• Studentcool
• Bugscope Teambird-eater tarantulas are quite large
• Studenthow long does it take these pictures
• StudentHow long does a bee live?
• StudentWhat would you consider as the least deadly insect?

• Studentbird eater tarantula
• StudentDrew a bird eater tarantulas
• Bugscope Teaman insect has a head, a thorax, an abdomen, six legs, and two antennae
• Bugscope Teamthe life span of a bee really depends
• Studentis it true that after a bee stings you it dies
• Studentwhat is the hairs purpose?
• Bugscope Teamthe mosquito is a pretty deadly insect because they can carry diseases
• Bugscope Teamthe least deadly insect -- a mayfly
• Bugscope Teammale bees (drones) don't live that long, queens can live for a year or so, and the worker bees probably a month or so?
• Bugscope Teamhornet stingers are probably bigger first
• Studentcan the claws grasp things?
• Bugscope Team1) insects do not have skin like we do -- they have an exoskeleton
• Bugscope Teamthey may also have more pain-inducing toxin in their venom

• Bugscope Teamyea i would consider the mosquito the deadliest insect
• Bugscope Team2) their exoskeleton is like wearing a suit of armor -- they cannot feel through it
• Studenthow much poisen does a hornet carry
• Studenthow does a bird eater tarantula catch a bird
• StudentThanks Joe!! :)
• Bugscope Teamcertainly by number of deaths caused per year, even if indirectly
• Bugscope Team3) so they have the hairs, called setae, that stick through the exoskeleton and allow them to sense their environment
• 11:13 am

• Studentwhat is the smallest spider
• StudentWow! How does a misquito bite?
• Studentwhat insect is the haireist
• Bugscope Teambird eater tarantulas don't normally eat birds
• Bugscope Team4) setae can be mechanosensory, chemosensory, thermosensory, and used for proprioception
• Studenthow many poisonus insects are there
• Studentwhat is the strongest insect
• Bugscope Teamthey eat mostly insects, other arthropods and some small vertebrates

• Studentwhy are they called bird eater tarantulas
• Studentwhat is the stuff in the backround? water?
• Bugscope Teamat least birds aren't usually the main/only part of their diet
• Bugscope Teamall the insects are sitting on a bed of sticky carbon tape

• Bugscope Teamthere is a very small wasp called the fairyfly
• Studentok thanks
• Studentis the fairyfly deadly

• Bugscope Teamit's a parasitic wasp, its larvae feed inside eggs of other insects
• Studentthanks
• StudentDo fairyflies sting like the other wasps?
• Studentoh thats nice
• Bugscope Teamit is ~.1-.2mm
• Studentwhat is the largest insect

• Studentwhat insect can fly at the highest altitude
• Bugscope Teamone of the largest, or longest, is a walking stick, which can reach 21 inches in length
• Studentwhere do fairyflys live
• Studentwhat insect has the largest eye?????
• Bugscope Teamuh
• Bugscope Teamdragonflies?

• Bugscope Teamdragonflies have pretty big eyes
• Studenthow do ants carry so much weight on there tiny body
• Bugscope TeamI don't know which insect has the largest eye
• 11:18 am

• StudentWhat is in a dragonflies diet?????
• Studentwhat makes a firefly light up?
• Studentwhat insect is the longest?
• Bugscope Teaminsects can get caught in air currents and carried for miles; I'm not sure how high they can fly -- I know we've answered that before but I cannot remember

• Studenthow long does it take for a spider to make its web
• Bugscope Teamthe stuff that makes a firefly light up is called luciferin, or luciferase
• Studentk thanks!! :)
• Studentthanks scot! (:
• Studentwhat is at the top of the picture?
• Bugscope Teamwalking stick, Drew
• Studentthank you
• Studentwhats makes bugs irritatted
• StudentDayton i would say a dady long leg
• Bugscope Teamluciferin, Jordan
• Studentwhat insecxt is this
• Studentthank u scott
• Bugscope Teamfireflies have a special organ that houses the chemical luciferin and luciferase
• Student is luciferin a gas
• Studenthow long is the walking sticks legs
• Bugscope Teamthose are tenent setae that help insects climb on upside down surfaces, for example
• Bugscope Teamin the presence of magnesium, oxygen and atp, light is given off

• Studentgh
• Studentwhere does a spiders web come from
• Bugscope TeamI think it is more like a gel
• Studentwhat insect is this
• StudentHow strong is the exoskeleton
• Bugscope Teamspider web is made of protein. Generally they spin it from their abdomen
• Bugscope Teamspiders have glands that produce silk in liquid form, and it solidifies in the air
• Bugscope TeamHunter it is the cerambycid beetle, I think; ask your teacher to take the mag down so you can see
• Studenthow long is a walking sticks leg
• Bugscope Teamthe strength of the exoskeleton really depends on the insect, how the layers are crossed linked and how many layers there are
• Studentwhats the biggest spider in the world?!
• Bugscope Teamsome insect have pretty weak exoskeletons, so you can put a pin through them retty easily

• Studentthank you joe :)
• Studenthow much does a bee weigh
• Bugscope Teamthe exoskeleton is kind of soft by our terms; it is the same as a shrimp's shell, which is also an exoskeleton, but likely thinner in most cases
• Bugscope Teamwhereas there's a beetle called the ironclad beetle
• Studentwhich insect can withstand the most pressure
• Bugscope Teamtry as you might you can't put a pin in without another tool
• Studentwhat kind of wings does a praying mantis have
• Bugscope Teamsomething like a drill
• Bugscope Teamone of the largest spiders is the bird-eating tarantula
• 11:23 am
• Bugscope Teamthey have normal kind of wings
• Bugscope Teampraying mantis wings are made of chitin as well
• Bugscope Teamnot sure which insect can stand the most pressure
• Studentoh cool! Thank you very much Scot!
• Studenthow big is the bird eating tarantula
• Bugscope Teamtheir wings look kind of like grasshopper wings
• Bugscope Teamyes this is the cerambycid beetle
• StudentO cool Joe THANKS
• StudentWhy do some ladybugs bite?
• Studenthow fast do the praying mantis' wings go?
• Bugscope Teamthe forewings are elongate and the hindwings are somewhat triangular
• Studentwhat is the smallest wingless incect
• Studentk thanks anyway scot
• Bugscope Teamit is split
• Studenthow many eyes do spiders have

• Bugscope Teamspiders usually have eight eyes but not always
• Bugscope Teamother variations are 0,1,2,4,6
• Bugscope Teamsometimes spiders may have 6 or 7, but usually it's 8
• StudentWhat is the smallest spiderr
• Studentwhats the most common insect in the world
• Bugscope Teamoh well there you go
• Studentcan they lose there eyes
• Studenthow long do spiders live for
• Studentu7
• Student*
• Bugscope Teamants may be the most common insects
• Bugscope Teamthey cannot lose their eyes
• Studentis a butterfly an insect?
• Student*their
• Studentok thanks scot (:
• Bugscope Teamthe lives of insects and arthropods like spiders vary; usually less than a year unless they are in the Tropics
• Studentway are people so afraid of insects
• Bugscope Teamyes a butterfly is an insect
• Studenthow old is the longest living ant

• Studentwhy do the setae ends look like leaves?
• Studenthow many different species of ants are there
• Studentthank you Scott:)
• Bugscope TeamGabriella I think it is because they move fast sometimes and can be creepy looking and also they crush easily and are kind of gooey when that happens
• Bugscope Teamthe top five, in no particular order are: black widow, brown recluse, brazilian wandering, funnel web and red back
• Bugscope TeamI think there are 12,000 ant species
• Bugscope Teamthe setae are sticky here and they kind of act like velcro or suction cups to help them stick to walls or ceilings

• Bugscope Teamthere are more than 12000 species of ants
• Studentthanks scot
• Studentthank u
• Bugscope Teamthis is totally cool where we are now
• Studentthats cool Joe
• Studenthow much does a butterfly weigh on average
• Bugscope Teamwe are looking at a single scale from a yellow butterfly
• Bugscope Teamthe ridges are about a bacterium wide
• Studentwhat is your favorite insect Scott?
• 11:29 am
• Student what are the grid lines for?
• Studentwhy are butterfly wings colorful
• Bugscope Teamand you can see pigment granules
• StudentHow many types of moths are there
• Bugscope TeamI like weevils and leafhoppers.
• Bugscope Teamlongest living ant is probably 10-15 years? unsure
• Bugscope Teammonarchs are pretty commons
• Studenthow many types of butterfles are there
• Bugscope Teambutterfly wings for the most part are covered in scales
• Bugscope Teamthere are said to be 13,000 described species of moth

• Bugscope Teamthese scales can have pigment granules, and also microstructures on them that refract and reflect light in a way that make them colourful
• Studentis it true if you touch a butterfly wing it cant fly
• Studentwhat is the least deadliest spider

• Bugscope Teamsome butterflies have transparent wings
• Bugscope Teamthe cabbage white is the most common butterfly
• Studentthanks Joe
• StudentWhat do the luna moths eat?
• Studentwjat do these do
• Studentwhat do the hairs do
• Studentdo moth wings look like butterfly's up close?
• Bugscope TeamJacob it is okay to touch a butterfly's wing but don't rub the scales off of it
• Bugscope Teamglasswinged butterfly
