- Studentlump is cool
- Studentwow
- Studentwhy do they bore into tree's?
Bugscope Teamthe adults bore into trees to lay their larvae. the larvae then feed on the trees, and disrupt the flow of nutrients to other pasrts of the tree
- Studentso is cate
- Studentbutterfly scales=...3?
- Studentwhy do termites eat wood?
Bugscope Teamthey actually feed on a variety of things, but wood has a lot of cellulose (which is what they like to eat) so that's why they eat wood.

- Studentkk
- Studentwhy is it hary

- Bugscope Teamjoe!
- Studentawesome
- Bugscope Teamemerald ash borer is probably the most known borer.
- Studentwhat the heck is that
- Studentwhats with all the hair?and what is the kind of mite and bettle?
Bugscope TeamMuch of the hair, called setae, is sensory; some of it, here, is the vestments, which allows other beetles to recognize it and may also have a thermoregulatory function.
- Bugscope Teamjoe is an entomologist that joins us sometimes to help answer the harder questions
- Studentawesome hairs
- Studenti do NOT rule? that's so funny i forgot to laugh!
- Studenthow dose it eat
- Studenti want to see the baby nija

- Bugscope Teamthis beetle actually came from joe, but he might not know what kind it is, or if it is a boy/girl. You often have to cut them open to be able to tell
- Studentwhat
- Studentwoodworm really?
- Studenthaha
- Studentyes i do
- Studentwhat is jub
- Studenti like dissecting
- Teacherwhere did you get the emerald ash borer? we don't want them here in NC

- Teacherfly head
- Studentthey shed there bone
Bugscope Teamsome spiders shed their exoskeleton. Only if they live long enough, like a tarantula. If they do have molts, and they lost a leg, they get back a brand new leg intheir next molt

- StudentHe has swag
- Studentjoe i need help
- Studentcool animal
- Studentthat fly is boss
- Studentyay
- Student!!!!joe
- Studentdose their bone grow back when they shed it?
Bugscope Teamonly if they have molts, but a lot of insects don't live long enough to have molts. Tarantulas live for many years so they get molts
- Studentso black and white and old timie
- Studentthe click beetle clicks because if you pick them up,they think u are bird.
- Studentgross coc roches

Bugscope Teamthey can see almost 360 degrees around it, and they can see motion very quickly, so that everything would look like they were moving in slow motion
- Student9 whats the coltrols
- Studentpleas
- 1:59 pm
- Studentno they actually puke on whatever they land on
Bugscope Teamthey puke on their food to help make it liquid so they can eat it. They often have sponging mouthparts to soak up the liquid
Bugscope Teamhorseflies have biting mouthparts, so they don't really puke
- Studentoh sick

- Student why do muskitos sip blood?
- Studentwhy do masquitos bite you ?
Bugscope Teamthey need the bloodmeal in order to reproduce. only the females bite you.
- Studentwhy do fly's have two sets of wings
Bugscope Teamthey actually only have one set of wings
Bugscope Teamthe other set has been adapted to be gyroscope like, and helps with flight balancing and midair acrobatics (probably)
- Studentea
- Teachercan 21 have control
Bugscope Team21 has it!
- Studentwhy do masquitos bite you ?
Bugscope Teamthe females need the blood to give them energy to reproduce.

- Studentit looks like a pine cone
- Studentlike velcro
- Studentpleaes.02
- Studentwhy is it pointy
- Studenteh
- Studentthis is the coolest website EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Teacherpollen grains. why so many spikes
Bugscope Teami think, and it's only speculation, but maybe it helps to stick to things so they get carried to some other place to pollenate
Bugscope Teamor stuck in our noises to make us sneeze :p
- Studentsotg.0
- Studentborer beetle
- Studentcause it is
- Studentsotg.0 ????????????????
- Studentthe borer beetle clAW and...pulvillus?

- Studentstop
- Student#9
- Studentwhat are those hairy thingies
- Studentlooks like a grappling hook [like ninjas use. that's what i like about it].

- Studentsting
- Studentwhats that fuzzy thing
- Studentmy brother's friend has a big beehive that beekeepers use in his backyard
- 2:19 pm
- Studentwhy does the assassin bug have pollen
Bugscope Teamthey walk over plants, so pollen sometimes just gets stuck on, could also be contamination from other things in the sample
- Studentbutterfly scale
- Studenthow much juice is in a assassin bug
- Studentit looks like cartilage
- Teacherscale off wing of butterfly
Bugscope Teami don't remember but it might be a monarch wing

- Studentcolor i think
- Studentwhat are those lumps
- Studentwith what
Bugscope Teamthey have a proboscis, which is like an elephant's trunk that you see now. near the end is where they poke this into the insect
Bugscope Teamthey then inject digestive juices into the other insect and suck up the digested innards.
Bugscope Teamoh like a spider
Bugscope Teamyes, exactly
- Studentwoah
- Studentis that thing dangerous
Bugscope Teamnot really, but there are some species that are dangerous for humans since they spread diseases
Bugscope Teamkissing bugs are one right?
Bugscope Teamyes
- Studentwhat are the black lumps
Bugscope Teamthere are some places on the scales that are not as grounded for the electrons that are hitting it. the darker parts where were the electrons were going to ground. the brighter spots are where the electrons weren't being grounded- they were being absorbed into those areas, lighting them up
- Studentap seriii
- Studentcool!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentare there layers of butterfly scales?
Bugscope Teamthey overlap a little, like shingles on a house
- Studentlove you!
- 2:24 pm

- Studentaphid head
- Studentim a c001 cid im totally good ad sbelling
- Studenteye
- Bugscope Teamhere on the compound eye you can see that there are little setae, hairs, sticking out between the ommatidia
- Student/;p;',
- Studentbutt meghee
- Bugscope Teamthese are a little dired out, but i think when it was alive the ommatidia would be a little fuller looking
- Studenthow many little eyes do insects have
- Student ccc
- Studentthey kiss you?

- Studentwhy is he decapitated
Bugscope Teami accidentally popped its head off while putting it on the tape
- Studentthat is gross
- Studentis there a trachea
- Studentyep
- Studenthow many little eyes do insects have?
Bugscope Teamthey typically have 2 compound eyes, but how many ommatidia are in them can vary. sometimes as many as tens of thousands in one compound eye, and sometimes only 20 or so, like on an ant
Bugscope Teamthey can also have simple eyes, and that ranges from 0-3
- 2:29 pm
- Studentwhos in control??
- Studentdoes it have to do with there size
- Teacherstill no controls at 12
Bugscope Teamsorry, got a bit of lag
- Studentap shery!
- Teacherif controls can't go to 12, can you give them back to me?
Bugscope Team12 should have control now
- StudentWhy does it vary
Bugscope Teamit varies dependent on how much an insect relies on its sight
- Studentap Shery!
- Bugscope Teamthe trachea is the tube that supplies oxygen along the insect body
- Studentdo
- Studentthat is assassin boog
- Studentaphid proboscus
- Studentap Shery!
- Studentwhy do some insects have long antenas and some are short
- Studentspider face!!!
- Studenti thot they had 200000000
Bugscope Teami don't think there is anything with that many ommatidia combined. sorry. dragonflies have a lot, but pretty sure it isn't that many

- TeacherClass is over, a great success! Thanks!
- Bugscope Teamthat's great to hear!
- Bugscope TeamThanks! It was fun!
- 2:34 pm
- Bugscope Teamyou can access your chat and images from today by going to your member page
- Bugscope Teamhttp://bugscope.beckman.illinois.edu/members/2014-005
- 2:39 pm
- Bugscope Teamwhen we run bugscope we run at a long working distance so you can see more of the insect at once at lower magnifications. normally we would use a shorter working distance to get better resolution at higher magnifications
- 2:44 pm
- Bugscope TeamI'm sorry but we are going to have to shut down now so someone else can use the microscope
- TeacherThanks again, a lot of enthusiastic hangers-on here
- Bugscope Teamcool!
- TeacherWe are signing off now
