- Bugscope Team vacuum just went backwards
- Bugscope Team Chas Rachel Masyuko was here after lunchtime.
- Bugscope Team She looks great.
- Bugscope Team you hafta jog my memory, name's familiar but not connecting in my memory
- Bugscope Team this is an interesting log line: client sent HTTP/1.1 request without hostname (see RFC2616 section 14.23): /w00tw00t.at.ISC.SANS.DFind:)
- 2:50pm
- Bugscope Team She worked for Bohn, undergrad, on the TEM
- Bugscope Team lol...
- Bugscope Team oh yeah, I think I know who you're talking about
- Bugscope Team I'm gunna come down for a minute to make sure you guys don't have trouble with the new sample setup stuff
- 2:55pm
- 3:00pm
- Bugscope Team i.. i... i got the knife
- Bugscope Team evil hackerz
- Bugscope Team vista really is ugly
- Bugscope Team i agree
- Bugscope Team vista is the best in the world. i love vista, i'm going to marry it.
- Bugscope Team i really hope thats sarcasm
- 3:06pm
- Bugscope Team despite my dislike for its looks, i'm thinking ITG should go all-vista, all-the-time. vista server, vista workstation, vista business, vista ultimate, vista enterprise, outlook, access, etc. we could run bugscope from vista!
- Bugscope Team YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
- Bugscope Team wouldn't everybody like to use outlook?
- Bugscope Team i know alex would like to dump our mail server in favor of exchange.
- Bugscope Team *cringe*
- Bugscope Team aww, cmon. where's your microsoft spirit?
- Bugscope Team i would like a large orea blizzard, that's what i want
- Bugscope Team i dont think i have one
- Bugscope Team ok, nevermind. i've changed my mind. we should get rid of every vista and/or XP machine in ITG.
- Bugscope Team ack!
- Bugscope Team so, does this mean we can curse with the privchat?
- Bugscope Team yeah, in theory anyway
- Bugscope Team heh.
- 3:11pm
- Bugscope Team i tried windows calendar. was all ready for a good experience. it's supposed to be iCal compatible, for example...
- Bugscope Team cool, do you like ti so far?
- Bugscope Team but it sux. inconsistent nonintuitive interface.
- Bugscope Team drag
- Bugscope Team i'm not sure how they made such a bad calendar program. it must have taken real effort.
- Bugscope Team seems like a lot of vista is nonintuitive...
- Bugscope Team hi bernie!
- 3:16pm
- Bugscope Team hey there!
- Teacher Hi how are things in bugscope land?
- Bugscope Team very good, we are making presets right now.
- Teacher Ok the girls are not in the room yet but I expect them at 3:30 pm sharp
- Bugscope Team we will be ready. do you want time to preactice before 3:30?
- Teacher Sure what do you want me to try?
- Bugscope Team okay, i unlocked the session, go ahead and try navagation the scope!
- 3:21pm
- Bugscope Team Bernie -- is it easier to see the motion when you're using the "Click to Drive" function?
- Teacher ok
- Bugscope Team remember, you can always click on a preset (lower right) to center in on a good image.
- Bugscope Team cool! now if you want to see more of the bug you are looking at, just reduce the mag, or move around too...
- Teacher Very cool! Everything seems to be working nicely. Are there more than one pre-sets
- Bugscope Team can't you see a scrollable list to the lower right?
- Bugscope Team yes, you should see 7-8 of them on the lower right? do you?
- 3:27pm
- Bugscope Team you should see a scroll bar, so you can scroll down and see all the presets?
- Bugscope Team it might help to maximize the screen if its not
- Bugscope Team You can try hitting F11 to switch Firefox to full-screen, it may give you more space to see everything at once
- Teacher No I just see the one.
- Bugscope Team try refreshing - hit F5 button
- Bugscope Team there should be a scroll-bar to the right of that preset you see where you can scroll down to see the rest of them
- Teacher Ah...there we go. Thank you!
- Bugscope Team what made it work? F5, srolling?
- Teacher Hello everyone all the girls are here and they all have questions for you!
- Bugscope Team awesome! welcome!
- Bugscope Team we're ready
- Bugscope Team we are ready to answer any questions, and to help you learn more about bugs. yah!
- Bugscope Team Okay I am back. Thanks you guys.
- Bugscope Team Hello to Alena.
- Teacher Mawata would like to know what we are seeing on the screen
Bugscope Team This is the leg of a beetle, and we're seeing some "hairs", the setae, sticking out of it
- Bugscope Team this is a beetle leg
- Bugscope Team if you magnify out (-), you can see more of the bug to get a better idea of what you are looking at.
- 3:33pm
- Bugscope Team you can decrease the magnification if you want to see more of the bug we are looking at
- Teacher hi I am Shadarian and I want to how many bones does a bettle leg has?
Bugscope Team 0! The entire outside of the leg is made of a stiff material called chitin that supports their body the way bones do for us
- Bugscope Team Beetles have no bones at all.
- Bugscope Team wow! why not?
- Bugscope Team The legs have many segments, and I would say that they vary in number.
- Bugscope Team I'll try to get you a little better answer.
- Teacher oh I didn't know that thanks alot
- Bugscope Team bernie: you can let one or more students login to ask questions directly so that you can concentrate on controlling the microscope
- Bugscope Team on other computers. they'd just need to load the save web address as you did and it should just ask them for a login name
- Bugscope Team by "save" I meant "same"
- Teacher hi my name is taighamere (tazz or taiga after the biome) and i would like to know do they breed or mate with each other?
Bugscope Team I believe all (many?) insects reproduce sexually, then lay eggs
- 3:38pm
- Teacher The administrator left and she only set us up for one computer. I will arrange for that tomorrow. For now I will control the scope and let the girls ask questions
Bugscope Team cool
- Bugscope Team Some insects have very complicated mating rituals like dances that the male/female do with each other.
- Bugscope Team There are some beetles that have huge mouthparts (relative to their bodies) that they use for wrestling matches to decide who gets a mate
- Bugscope Team The sex organs of an insect are often not readily visible. The female may have an ovipositor for laying eggs, and a stinger is also considered a modified ovipositor.
- Teacher MAY I ASK WHAT IS AN TARSI SIGN TAIGA
Bugscope Team Whereas we have only one joint in our legs, these insects sometimes have several joints, and thus several leg segments, some of which are called the tarsi
- Bugscope Team So sometimes you cannot tell the difference between the sexes without dissecting the insect.
- Bugscope Team The tarsi are the forearm segments.
- Bugscope Team Singular would be tarsus.
- Bugscope Team We are looking right at some tarsi now.
- Teacher WHAT IS AN OVIPOSITOR SIGN TAIGA
Bugscope Team The ovipositor is an organ used by some of the arthropods for oviposition, i.e. the laying of eggs
- Bugscope Team An ovipositor is a tube used for laying eggs. Sometimes it sticks into small branches to lay the eggs. As with a cicada.
- 3:43pm
- Teacher HI my name is shernetta and i wanted to know why did they call ladybugs,ladybugs?
Bugscope Team the word lady seems to originated from the virgin mary in the roman catholoic faith, but even that is not for certain. it is a nice name so it stuck, i guess?
- Bugscope Team That's a good question, meaning we can't answer it right away. But I imagine it is because they are small, round, brightly colored.
- Bugscope Team The word "lady" in the name is thought to allude to the Virgin Mary in the Roman Catholic faith according to wikipedia
- Bugscope Team They're cute, is what I think.
- Teacher that's cool cathy
- Bugscope Team wikipedia doesnt seem to say anything more about it though
- Teacher they are cute scot
- Bugscope Team The Asian beetles are not so cute when they bite you.
- Teacher What is a dragonflt's favorite insect to eat?
Bugscope Team dragonfly's eat mosquitos, and fly's and other small insects around lakes...
- Bugscope Team along the lines of the Virgin Mary allusion, they've also been called lucky bugs and many different cultures (internationally) seem to have traditions about them, usually that it's lucky to have one land on you
- Teacher oh. really sco!!
- Bugscope Team ah ok
- Teacher watz up yall my name is mawata and i wanted too know where yall at
Bugscope Team watz up dog! we's be in urbana illinois.
- Bugscope Team We are in the basement of the Beckman Institute building at the University of Illinois in Urbana, IL.
- 3:48pm
- Teacher every 1 of u
- Bugscope Team I'm upstairs
- Bugscope Team yep
- Bugscope Team all work in the same building
- Bugscope Team well, cathy is in another room, ben is upstairs. but we are all in the beckman instutute.
- Bugscope Team Sometimes our entomologist logs on from her apartment.
- Bugscope Team FYI: entomologists study bugs
- Bugscope Team We could connect from anywhere.
- Teacher y do they take out a mummy brain??
- Bugscope Team So it doesn't rot inside the head.
- Teacher they are asking because we have a mummy in are lab here.
- Bugscope Team The soft tissue has to be removed and put in a jar, or jars.
- Bugscope Team It would smell bad as it rotted, then it would shrink and rattle around in there.
- Bugscope Team they kept the organs they removed in the jars next to the mummies. it was all part of their belief about how the spirits ascended into their afterlife
- Teacher how many different bugs are in the world
Bugscope Team There are many many (millions?) that have been identified, but it's thought that there may be far more we've never seen hidden in places like rainforests
- Bugscope Team I know that in some cases they don't remove the brain, though. We scanned one here (with CT) that still had the brain in it. It was shriveled and sitting at the back of the head when it was scanned.
Bugscope Team here's a picture: http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/exhibits/gallery/pages/image-70.htm
- Bugscope Team The jars are called canopic jars.
- 3:54pm
- Teacher do u speak man-d-go and if u do do u know wat i-d mean
- Bugscope Team beetle head!
- Bugscope Team you can see the big curved jaws in the middle there
- Teacher ce-ce & hawa/ how big is the biggest beattle in the world??????????
Bugscope Team The Titanus giganteus can get up to 170mm (over 6 inches) in length.
- Bugscope Team The goliath beetle is a big as a fist.
- Bugscope Team That is commonly cited as the largest beetle.
- Teacher Hi, my name is Ashley and i was wondering do beetles have brains
Bugscope Team yes, all insects have brains, although they're very small
- Bugscope Team as big as
- Bugscope Team I should've said
- Bugscope Team I also found this reference for largest beetle: Titanus giganteus, a member of the Cerambycidae native to South America.
- Bugscope Team "An adult male apparently bit and shattered a plastic ruler used as a size relationship by a photographer. "
- 3:59pm
- Bugscope Team check out these pictures of golaith beetles!!! http://beetlespace.wz.cz/e_Goliathus_cacicus.html
Bugscope Team wow, that's incredible!
- Bugscope Team Annie studies cerambycids; I'm sorry she's not here today.
- Teacher What's the biggest bug in Wisconsin
- Bugscope Team Ummm.
- Teacher Are all insects beetles???
Bugscope Team no. there are many types of beetles, but they're still only a small proportion of all insects. their name means "sheathed wing" which is how you can identify them
- Bugscope Team All beetles are insects but not the other way around.
- Bugscope Team So not all insects are beetles.
- Bugscope Team Not all insects are true bugs, either.
- Bugscope Team The hard part -- the sheath over the wing -- is called the elytra.
- Bugscope Team the "sheathed" means the wings have a hard casing around them, so from the top they look shiny usually, and appear to have a slit going down their back where the two halves of the wing casing meet
- 4:06pm
- Bugscope Team They are supposed to run 'til 4:30.
- Bugscope Team And they'll be back tomorrow.
- Bugscope Team Tomorrow it's 4 to 5 p.m.
- Bugscope Team Alex she was supposed to have another group in at 4.
- Bugscope Team okay.
- 4:12pm
- Bugscope Team I don't see how to call her yet.
- Bugscope Team I am trying to call Gaye-Lynn now.
- Bugscope Team voicemail and I didn't leave a message
- Bugscope Team Ah there she is!
- Bugscope Team Hello!
- Bugscope Team hi lynn!
- Bugscope Team hey lynn
- Bugscope Team Lynn let us know if we can help you navigate.
- Bugscope Team Or anything else.
- Teacher Hey sorry! we unplugged the computer! Some girls have large feet
- Bugscope Team ah ha
- Bugscope Team heh. that's okay.
- Bugscope Team some of us are used to having large feet and are more careful
- Bugscope Team generally
- Teacher How manydifferent bugs are in the United States
- 4:17pm
- Bugscope Team thousands of species
- Bugscope Team not sure who knows
- Bugscope Team millions, according to wikipedia, but it's hard to give an exact number. we don't know all the bugs there are.
- Teacher Hi my name is Jazmyne and i wanted know how do you describe love and wat is love
- Bugscope Team 91,000 described species and 73,000 estimated undescribed in the US
Bugscope Team but those are the numbers for TYPES of bugs. there could be thousands, millions of each type
- Bugscope Team that is a tough one
- Teacher how long have you been interested in sciene
Bugscope Team my dad is a professor at the university here, so I grew up always hearing about and being fascinated by science
- Bugscope Team how about wanting the best for someone else no matter what
- Bugscope Team Well she said different bugs
- Bugscope Team how many different bugs in the US
- Bugscope Team yeah since I could talk probably
- Bugscope Team it's natural to wonder about what is around you
- Teacher what is your favorite biome
Bugscope Team for bugs, it'd probably be Tropical humid forests. they are home to some of the wildest looking ones
- 4:22pm
- Bugscope Team Lynn be sure to drive around to some of the other presets, or wherever you would like to go.
- Bugscope Team I'll try not to chas
- Bugscope Team Don't know what is my favorite biome -- I suppose it's where I live.
- Bugscope Team The ocean is pretty cool.
- Teacher What is your favorite animal and have you ever been to biome?
- Bugscope Team my favorie animals are dogs. what's yours?
- Bugscope Team I like puffer fish.
- Teacher I like dolphins
- Bugscope Team their biome would be a reef, maybe?
- Bugscope Team biome seems to have a loose definition
- Bugscope Team dolphins are very intelligent animals.
- Bugscope Team maybe ...
- Teacher no it's marine biome?
- Bugscope Team they navy has trained dolphins they use to protect our coasts!
- 4:27pm
- Bugscope Team and international coasts too... they actually transport them long distances. they do things like search out bombs underwater, etc
- Bugscope Team I can learn something from you on this...
- Teacher HI IT'S TAIGA AGAIN AND I WOULD LKE TO KNOW WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON BIOMES FOR BEATTLE???/////
Bugscope Team I can't think of any regions of the world that don't have beetles, except maybe the arctic. Deserts, swamps, forests, grasslands, mountainous regions
- Bugscope Team That was me, htting the preset.
- Bugscope Team Beetles are generally terrestrial, for starters.
- Bugscope Team They live in almost any terrestrial environment.
- Teacher OK THANK YOU BYE
- Bugscope Team see you!
- Bugscope Team That's it?
- Bugscope Team See you tomorrow!
- Bugscope Team Thank you!
- Teacher Hi Everyone! bernie again, sorry for getting unplugged earlier> It was a great seesion, and I hope tomorrow goes just as well!
- Teacher Thanks for answering their questions!
- Bugscope Team Thanks Bernie! See you tomorrow.
- Bugscope Team feel free to let students login on other computers if you can tomorrow
- Bugscope Team see you tomorrow B.
- Teacher Talk to you tomorrow!
- 4:32pm
- Teacher I'll set up laptops tomorrow so we can get more questions
- Bugscope Team okay, sounds good.
- Bugscope Team sounds great bernie!
