- Bugscope Team add an emoticon drop down menu
- Bugscope Team Yeah!!!!
- Bugscope Team I bet he will be happy to have another thing on his todo list
- Bugscope Team There are so many Bugscope Session scheduled...that's awesome. I want to go to elementary schools down here...maybe (hopefully) with Bugscope handouts...so that FL kids can have fun too
- Bugscope Team hey ms B
- Bugscope Team Good morning Ms B
- Teacher Hello Bugscope! My students are just arriving and logging on, so we'll be ready to go in a few minutes!

- Student 10
- Bugscope Team Cool, Thanks DaddyO.
- Bugscope Team Awesome
- Student o hello
- Guest hello??
- Bugscope Team good morning Soph and Jess!
- Bugscope Team Science is so cool. I just talked in front of high school about neuroscience last Tuesday
- Teacher We are having trouble with students being able to log in as students instead of quests.. any suggestions?
- Guest what are we suppose to be doing?
- Bugscope Team We might have to wait 'til Chas gets back on.
- Student guests*
- Bugscope Team There...we lost guests but got another student, welcome John
- Bugscope Team S and J when you are ready, someone in your class can drive the electron microscope to see the insects/arthropods you sent us.
- Guest can we control the microscope?
- Bugscope Team Presently Ms B has control of the microscope.
- Guest yes
- Bugscope Team there should be something that says if you are not a guest, click here maybe
- Student hey buddy boys big rick here
- 8:40am
- Bugscope Team i've seen it before but I forget what it says exactly
- Bugscope Team now Soph and Jess have control.
- Bugscope Team Yeah...and we are driving
- Guest ok
- Student sick

- Guest what are we looking at?
- Student what is this??????????
- Guest what r we looking at?
- Bugscope Team this is part of a ladybug, one of our bugs that we put on the stub
- Bugscope Team this is a ladybug palp
- Student hey lauren
- Guest dr4g6yth
- Guest ohh. thanks
- Guest werd
- Bugscope Team a mouthpart
- Bugscope Team there are presets on the lower right that you can choose from if you wish to look at a specific bug
- Student insane
- Guest What is this supposed to be?
- Guest we did not send a ladybug
- Bugscope Team but you can take the mag down to see where you are .
- Bugscope Team you can the mag if you want to see more
- Bugscope Team no Cate added the ladybug

Bugscope Team thisd is a dragonfly head, it is very large as you can see
- Guest HAPPY BIRTHDAY KERRI!!!!!
- Student ur welcome
- Guest whios big rick???
- Guest whats that?
- Student What ur thingy
- Student Weird
- Student didnt get u a present but watever
- Bugscope Team this is the face of the dragonfly
- Student ryan is big rick
- Guest Hi everybody
- Guest thanks molly!!!
- Bugscope Team Chas...I am not sure how to take myself of...I am up on the admin list twice
- Guest gross!
- Guest when can we take pictures?
- Bugscope Team you can use click to center or click to drive to move around
- Student who's lyle15
- Student my toe iches
- Bugscope Team you are taking pictures as you drive the 'scope -- all of the images are being saved.
- Student sheridan
- Bugscope Team usually click to center gives you more control in your movements
- Guest ryan!
- Bugscope Team Big Rick...thanx for sharing
- Bugscope Team the spikes are setae
- Student ur welcome smiley
- Guest whats with the hair?
- Student who's smiley2
- Guest how old is scott?
- Bugscope Team setae are "insect hairs"
- Guest why do they have hair???
Bugscope Team setae serve as sensors because insects have exoskeletons
- Bugscope Team Later Alex =)
- Bugscope Team Ms B we have given Soph and Jess control of the 'scope. Let us know when you would like someone else to be able to drive.
- Student Lj is a loser
- Bugscope Team Scott is old, DaddyO.
- Guest i am not
- 8:45am
- Guest i
- Guest how much money does scott make?
- Student lauren is a cripple loser
- Guest lauren is AWESOME!!!
- Student yeah
- Student soo is it like feel or like antennae?
- Guest don't be mean
- Bugscope Team the hair (setae) allows them to sense their environment through the cuticle -- through the exoskeleton.
- Teacher Jonh is ready to control the scope. Thanks!
- Bugscope Team Cate2, how do you answer questions in the way you just did
- Student lets go john
- Guest yaya John
- Guest It has hexagons on it
- Bugscope Team nice close-up of a compound eye
- Guest word
- Student soph and jess what losers
- Guest hows the weather there fellas?
- Bugscope Team each one of the hexagons is an omatitia
- Bugscope Team Peter some of the setae are mechanosensory and some are chemosensory.
- Guest change image please
- Guest exuse meeeeeeee
- Guest what are we looking at
- Student ya
- Bugscope Team some setae allows the insects to feel the environment, others allow the insects to taste the environment
- Student kj is a loser
- Bugscope Team Soph and Jess did a good job driving -- with no instruction.
- Guest thank you
- Student way to go
- Student soooo is kerri
- Guest eye of what?
- Bugscope Team yes it's the compound eye of the dragonfly.
- Guest ??????
- Guest what is that?
- Guest sweeeet
- Guest what?
- Guest am not!!!
- Bugscope Team that in the top middle of the screen is a scale
- Student um yess
- Guest What am I looking at here?
- Guest ummmm i think NOT!!!!
- Bugscope Team those hair-like structures coming out at you are the setae
- Guest dont b mean to the b-day girl!!!!
- Student yea u r
- Student how old r u????
- Student um i think yess
- Guest ewwww this is gross!!
- Guest i am not a loser!!
- Bugscope Team this is the end of one of the limbs of the shield bug -- the big green dude you sent
- Guest u r
- Bugscope Team you can decrease the mag and see more of the insect
- Bugscope Team there's a butterfly or moth scale stuck there
- Guest cool
- Bugscope Team Carebear...even though u think it is gross...is it not amazing what we can see under the electron microscope
- Bugscope Team yes that is a good idea -- try taking the mag down, John.
- Student im sry carebear
- Student cant tell what that is
- Bugscope Team this cannot go in color Jamal -- we are using electrons rather than light to collect images
- Student k
- Bugscope Team you can also adjust the focus if you want
- Student ewwwww i think thats a germ maybe
- Guest whats that?
- Bugscope Team everything you are doing is directly affecting our electron microscope in our lab
- Bugscope Team there -- now if you drop the mag further you can get some perspective
- Bugscope Team setae again
- Guest I think John's working on it, he's having issues
- Bugscope Team looking betetr
- 8:50am
- Bugscope Team better*
- Bugscope Team John is having trouble driving?
- Student if u have an issue, grab a tissue
- Bugscope Team Let us know how we can help.'
- Student nice words
- Student let*
- Bugscope Team when using click to drive, you have to click again to stop
- Bugscope Team Got it BR.
- Guest click stop
- Student i think hes gt it now
- Bugscope Team Big Rick now has control.
- Student John is not a good driver
- Student go big rick
- Bugscope Team nice...taking the mag down...so we know where we are =)
- Bugscope Team John it is not so easy to do remotely like this.
- Guest big rick what are we looking at?
- Student ya i noticed
- Bugscope Team this is oops back to the preset.
- Bugscope Team if you find click to drive hard, you can try click to center, it gives you a littler more control, you just can't move as far so fasdt
- Guest are those feet
- Bugscope Team Whoever is driving always has access to the presets, which show up to the right of the chat box when you have control.
- Guest what is it?
- Bugscope Team yeah those are feet, and they are hairy
- Bugscope Team Rikity: you are right...those are parts of the leg
- Bugscope Team this is the shield bug, Hemiptera.
- Bugscope Team The face.
- Bugscope Team Where is Annie...she could tell us all baout it?
- Guest woah! the face is WEIRD!!!!
- Student whoa
- Guest what is it?
- Guest yikes
- Bugscope Team Mouth of shield bug from under neath
- Guest that leg looks like a cactus
- Student that things a hairy beast
- Bugscope Team Cate2: I cannot type very well either...look at my second nickname..
- Bugscope Team those are tenent setae, I think
- Bugscope Team just to the right you can see part of the compound eye
- Guest prickly!
- Bugscope Team yeah
- Bugscope Team Jamal: Most insects are covered with lots of "hairs"
- Guest looks like an elephant
- Student Why
- Guest attractive
- Bugscope Team Like Scott said, insects have an exosceleton so they need receptors to sense their environment
- Bugscope Team now you can see the proboscis, and the eyes, and the antennae.
- 8:55am
- Student that thing hat looks like a trunk, what is that?
- Student that*
- Guest lookslike a golf ball
- Guest whats the proboscis??
- Guest whats with the eye
- Bugscope Team We do not need that many "Hairs" because our skin has sensors in it
- Bugscope Team Ms B the images are being saved as you go to those areas.
- Guest laruen, thats the straw thingy that sucks the nectar
- Guest can't see
- Bugscope Team proboscis is the d'oh like soph and jess said
- Bugscope Team LJ: poboscis=mouth part of butterfly to drink nectar
- Student ok im done
- Guest ye
- Bugscope Team Another view of a compound eye
- Bugscope Team yeah soph and jess were on top of that one
- Bugscope Team Jamal has control.
- Bugscope Team Good job, Big Rick
- Student thanks smiey
- Guest sry big rick
- Guest ok, who is jamal?
- Bugscope Team Jamal can you drive now Dude?
- Guest sheridan?
- Student who's smiley
- Bugscope Team EVERYBODY: What do you think you will do after high school? Anything with microscopes?
- Guest oooo
- Student heyo
- Student deff not
- Student lol no
- Guest no, I'm thinking psycology
- Guest no no ,microscopes in my future
- Guest oops
- Bugscope Team Smiley is Claudi, in Florida. She used to work here but got too cold.
- Guest what are thos little tube thingys
- Student engineering so..maybe
- Guest ??
- Student im goin to be a pancriestologist
- Student why would we do anything wit microscopes
- Bugscope Team Pedro: I am a grad student studying neuroscience and I love microscopy. I think it is cool to see things the way our eyes cannot perceive them
- Bugscope Team oh no we are losing our future scientists
- Guest interesting
- Bugscope Team Big Rick I didn't get that.
- Bugscope Team pan means many
- Bugscope Team Pedro: Not everybody who works with microscopes looks at bugs.
- Guest so what's that?
- Guest cool!!!
- Bugscope Team Thanks Holmes I think I understand that.
- Student k i've had my fun
- Guest why dooes the surface have so many holes?
- Bugscope Team OOF = out of focus
- Bugscope Team Pedro: Scott can tell you in detail what many more uses this electron microscope has.
- Guest mmmmm, waffle fries
- Student go to dirty johnny
- Bugscope Team DJ has it.
- Student so how does it fly if there are so many holes in the wing?
- 9:00am
- Bugscope Team the scales are sort of analogous to feathers, and they are what make moth wings feel slick
- Guest looks like something my mom would knit
- Bugscope Team the holes are very small and trap air
- Bugscope Team Good question, Peter.
- Student ur mom knits????
- Student thats awesome
- Bugscope Team like water is to us
- Bugscope Team like water
- Guest that's cool
- Bugscope Team hah
- Student tell her to make me something
- Bugscope Team However, all those holes give the wing the nice array of colors in the sunlight
- Student like a sweater
- Guest would water tear through the wing
- Guest is that wing attactched to a moth, or was it removed?
- Guest *attatched
- Bugscope Team the wing was detached
- Student with my name on it
- Guest ouch
- Guest oh
- Guest looks like goosebumps
- Guest true dat
- Guest thats spiky
- Student thats sick
- Student very techno
- Bugscope Team the juju is actually brochosomes -- tiny soccer ball like elements
- Guest holy crap!
- Guest freaky!
- Guest hairy
- Student take a picture
- Bugscope Team big compound eye
- Guest woah!!! HUGE EYE!!!
- Bugscope Team Good job driving!!!!
- Bugscope Team that is a moth, without wings
- Guest big eyes
- Student i bet u like huge eyes dont u
- Bugscope Team it has very feathery looking antennae
- Guest yea
- Student hahahaha
- Bugscope Team Again all the setae on the antennas help sensing the environment
- Guest so, what are brochosomes?
Bugscope Team brochosomes are something only leafhoppers produces
- Bugscope Team the left antenna is missing but the right onw is folded under the head
- Student its eye looks lik a ping pong ball
- Bugscope Team brochosomes are tiny waxy soccerball-like structures that leafhoppers exude
- Guest what are they used for??
- Guest what are brochosomes used for?
Bugscope Team leafhoppers use brochosomes to coat their eggs presumably so they don't dry out, right Scott?
- Student what are they used for
- Bugscope Team they just drink the nectar of the flowers
- Student off roading!!!!!!!!!
- 9:05am
- Guest the moth sould comb his hair
- Student stride is good gum
- Student Big Eick
- Bugscope Team we think the brochosomes help protect the eggs, yes.
- Student Rick
- Student flavor flave?
- Bugscope Team keep the eggs from drying out
- Guest yum'
- Guest oh
- Bugscope Team moths are full of scales
- Bugscope Team now you can see the scales on the moth body
- Bugscope Team it is very hard to image here because the sample charges up with electrons
- Student what just ahppened?
- Guest looks like feathers
- Guest why is it dark???
- Student how are the scales used? heat? protection?
- Guest y does it look feathery
- Guest ?
- Bugscope Team the things we are imaging are in a vacuum chamber and we are beaming electrons at them
- Bugscope Team I think the scales add surface area and function much like feathers to a bird
- Guest would it b okay 4 me to control the scope now??
- Student no
- Bugscope Team as Molly said...
- Bugscope Team Got it Carebear.
- Guest zoom in on the eye
- Guest what's on it's eye?
- Bugscope Team some scales, mostly
- Bugscope Team dust
- Bugscope Team yeah always dust
- Bugscope Team dirt...or something like that
- Bugscope Team the individual facets are called ommatidia
- Student new bug
- Bugscope Team sometimes you can see bacteria on the eye though...that's really cool
- Guest what's that?
- Guest wat is this?
- Guest oh
- Guest cool
- Bugscope Team dragonfly wing
- Bugscope Team this is the dragonfly wing
- Bugscope Team there are little spikes all over it
- Student good choice
- Guest looks like a soccer ball
- Bugscope Team spines/spikes
- Guest wana know the last thing that whent through the bugs mind? .... His butt
- Guest why isnt there scales on it
- Student why are there spikes on it
- Guest *cardboard
- Guest Why are there spikes on it?
- Guest does it bend easily?
- Guest it looks all scuffed up
- Bugscope Team dragonflies are evolutionarily very old and do not have scales
- Guest what are the scrathes
- Student fish have scales
- Bugscope Team the scratches are just that
- Bugscope Team well fish are not insects yip
- 9:10am
- Bugscope Team Wow...Scott...your wisdom impresses me =)
- Student yippy skippy who are you?
- Student well they could be
- Student nvm
- Guest fish are good eaten
- Guest no seriously, who's skippy?
- Bugscope Team but in the insect world butterflies, moths, skippers, mosquitos, and silverfish have scales
- Guest I hate seafood
- Guest skippidy doo daa..............
- Student yippy skippy is big rick
- Bugscope Team and even some tiny beetles
- Bugscope Team that's not many considering how many insects there are
- Bugscope Team yeah we have found them on some tiny beetles -- a surprise
- Guest why is it surprising?
Bugscope Team because we almost never see beetles with scales
- Guest next image please
- Bugscope Team Welcome back Chas, I messed up earlier...now I have two log on names...one spelled correctly and one misspelled
- Student lj can drive
- Guest can i drive now

- Bugscope Team Chas: How do you highlight questions to answer them directly?
- Student i got my licence taken away
- Bugscope Team okay you have it rickity603
- Guest what is the coolest thing (in your oppinion) that you've ever seen under the scope?
- Guest whos jasmal?
- Bugscope Team Jamal: You were a good driver
- Bugscope Team Thanx Chas
- Bugscope Team um I like earwigs with mites
- Bugscope Team and ticks
- Student wha is this

Bugscope Team U control what to look at
- Guest i drove last night?
- Guest control it
- Guest -kayla
- Student work it!
- Bugscope Team you should now have more controls that allow you to manipulate the electron microscope
- Guest control what?
Bugscope Team The magnification as well as location of the microscope
- Guest control the camra
- Guest the pic
- Guest oh.
- Student THE IMAGE
- Guest oh yea.
- Bugscope Team well try taking the mag down, or up, there you go
- Guest i can control it.
- Bugscope Team you control the microscope we have
- Teacher Kayla, you will se a control screen to the right, and it will help you to know what to do, magnify, move to a different part of the screen...
- Bugscope Team got it!
- Guest oh thanx. im looking at an olmec head.
- Guest big head
- Guest whats an olmec?
- Bugscope Team this is the face of the dragonfly
- Guest plz
- Guest oh
- Teacher What does this critter eat?
- Bugscope Team Kayla, there is also presets on the bottom right...easy points to navigate to...interesting things the bugscope team found
- Student thats a good pic
- Bugscope Team Molly doesn't like it.
- Guest haha why?
- Student kayla ur the worst driver ever'
- Guest i like it but we already saw it
- Guest whats that
- Guest what is it ecactly?
- Bugscope Team Ms B they eat other insects
- Guest i know
- Guest like flies?
- Bugscope Team okay Molly, thanks
- Guest oh
- Bugscope Team yeah like flies
- Bugscope Team Now u can see a compound eye on left top
- Guest looks like an egg
- Student kayla why did u stay home
- Bugscope Team their compound eye has up to 30,000 facets
Bugscope Team I did not want to be the one counting...
- Student creapy
- Guest focus or something!
- Guest why does it go so fast across/
- Guest ?*
- Guest what r those dots?
Bugscope Team The spots on the tape which is on the stage, right Scott?
- Guest m confused
- Guest why don't they have just one eye?
- Teacher Doesn't each facet give a single picture?
Bugscope Team Correct
- Bugscope Team the dots in the background are carbon tape bubbles -- bubbles in the carbon doublestick tape.
- 9:21am
- Guest why do they need so many?
- Guest whos controling the microscope
Bugscope Team KaylaS
- Guest whats a facet?
- Bugscope Team yes each ommatidium (facet) gives a single picture.
- Guest how can they see?? that would b soooo confusing!
- Teacher Is the carbon doublestick tape used in the preparation of the samples?
- Bugscope Team kayla is driving now
- Guest driving what?
- Student we already saw this one
- Guest .............
- Guest i just changed the picture.
- Guest dragonfly wing!
- Guest the microscpope kayla
- Bugscope Team the electron microscope
- Guest weird wing
- Guest yea.
- Guest no way couldnt tell lol....
- Guest kool
- Guest really?
- Student give lj the wheel
- Guest how fast do they go?
Bugscope Team some can reach speeds up to 19 to 38 mph
- Bugscope Team wikipedia is such a great tool
- Guest the very fastest?
- Guest why are there spikes on it?
- Bugscope Team LJ has it
- Student yes
- Guest let her drive
- Guest I DONT WANT TO DRIVE
- Student do it
- Guest yes you do
- Guest looks like there's icicles hangin from it
- Student u can do it
- Student Sup big rick
- Bugscope Team i don't know if they are the largest
- Guest how slow does the slowest insect go??
- Student whos superman???
- Student Baby bush
- Guest miss me?
- Student how r u
- Bugscope Team good question Carebear.
- Guest what is the slowest insect
- Student Whats the fastest bug?
Bugscope Team Book of insect records: Australian tiger beetle at 5.6 miles per hour
- Guest dragonflye
- Guest who is baby bush?
- Guest me
- Guest yea but who are you?
- Bugscope Team heh I don't know the slowest, but I bet it's pretty slow
- Guest jesus
- Bugscope Team so slow it goes backwards
- Guest whats the slowist bug?
- Bugscope Team now you can see the edge of the world
- Guest I have a pet snail
- Guest a slug perhaps
- Guest hahaha yeah ...thats pretty slow Scott!

- Guest whats its name?
- Guest nice
- Guest looks like the moon
- Guest I've had him for like, three years
Bugscope Team Very unique pet
- 9:26am
- Guest huh
- Bugscope Team those are bubbles in the carbon tape
- Student hey driver?
- Student hello
- Guest thank you
- Student whatcha doin
- Bugscope Team the sample is also coated with gold-palladium -- several nanometers
- Guest what's the crack?
Bugscope Team I believe they are little folds in the tape...you probably would not see them with your bare eyes
- Guest do u admins have a boss to listen too?
- Student ukgfbdjgfhsdbfsdljsbh
- Guest i had a pet salimander once
- Guest what's that big crater?
- Bugscope Team the crack is a crack, really, in the tape
- Guest a crater
- Guest salimanders are cute
- Guest oh
- Bugscope Team yeah it is a crater
- Guest can i be done?
- Guest looks like a sidewwalk
- Bugscope Team this is a place where there are no bugs on the stub.
- Student 5.6 miles per hour WOW
Bugscope Team That's why its in the insect book of records I guess
- Guest oo
- Student peter u should drive
- Guest oh, that's not part of a bug?
- Guest does n e one else want to drive?
- Guest yea peter drive
- Guest nope
- Bugscope Team I can let Ms B drive
- Bugscope Team Bye Chas
- Student hahah lauren u so bad @ this
- Student makes sense
- Guest lj nice drining lol...ms b should drive!
- Bugscope Team okay I gave Ms B control

- Guest moth wing thing ms b
- Student yeah lauren!
- Teacher I agree!
- Guest me too
- Guest whs mr magnificent
- Guest whats that/
- Guest me
- Student Kyleigh u should drive
- Bugscope Team this is one of the palps on the mouth of a ladybug
- Guest how much does a lady bug weigh?
- Guest whats a palp?
- Bugscope Team if you take the mag down you can see where you are
- Guest how long do ladybugs live??
- Guest how big is a ladybug?
- Guest do they have friends?>
- Student kyleigh DRIVE
- Student as long as they want to!!!!!!!!!!!
- Bugscope Team a palp is a modified limb, sort of, that helps then insect eat its food
- Guest whats that thin?
- Student or kerri
- Guest what are the little holes on the left?
- Guest near the spikes
- Guest what are the holes
- Guest right*
- Guest so, if bugs have "hairs" do they have pores?
- 9:31am
- Bugscope Team like it can taste the food with chemosensory setae on the palps
- Student or dont i guess thats kool
- Bugscope Team some of the setae do have pores, right in the tip.
- Student let kyleigh drive
- Student or kerri
- Guest kayla?
- Bugscope Team the chemosensory setae have pores in the tips often
- Guest oh,
- Student scott
- Guest *woah!
- Guest huh?
- Student u there
- Bugscope Team let's let Ms B drive for a while, until she is tired of it
- Bugscope Team Yeah Spidey?
- Guest just seein if ur still alive kayla
- Guest ms b stop driving
- Guest i have many babys
- Student ok but kyleigh wants 2 drive
- Guest what?
- Guest yes i was looking for the slowest moving insect hahaha.
- Guest what are the little white dots?
- Guest swwet
- Bugscope Team In a minute.
- Guest hahhaha
- Guest i guess......
- Student w8 what is this
- Bugscope Team the dots are setae from the end
- Guest what r thoes little white dots
- Guest a lady bug
- Guest we think
- Bugscope Team this is part of the ladybug
- Bugscope Team we would have to take the mag down to see where we are
- Guest ha
- Bugscope Team exactly
- Teacher What part is this serrated edge?
- Guest what part?
- Student I WANT TO DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Guest looks like a claw!!!
- Student let me drive
- Student Ello Popet
- Guest its a pnicher!
- Guest yea
- Guest look like a pinser
- Guest trophy
- Bugscope Team oh this is the palp, still. it is closed up, which is unusual
- Guest the claw!
- Student let her drive
- Guest i hate frogs
- Student Kyleigh do it
- Bugscope Team can I give kyleigh control?
- Student }:)
- Bugscope Team bing!
- Student i hate forgs too little girl
- Guest yes you can
- Guest why does it have hairs?
- Bugscope Team there you are Kyleigh.
- Guest i already did!
- Guest lalalalala
- Student do it agina
- Guest ..............
- Bugscope Team the hairs in some cases are similar to cat or rat whiskers
- Guest does anyone have any gum I can have?
- Student I WANT TO DRIVE!!!!!!!!!
- Student let go kyleigh
- Student PLEASE LET ME
- 9:36am
- Guest looks a little evil
- Bugscope Team Cate2: I think part of the problem in finding the slowest insect is, that they all could voluntarily go slower than they are capable off
- Guest why are ladybugs lighter colors then others?
- Guest mr. magnificent, whats for lunch
- Student i wanna c some cool stuff
- Student igk
- Student guys please stay on topic
- Guest yea i looked and i couldn't find the slowest.
