- Bugscope Team session unlocked
- Bugscope Team hi mr. s, welcome to bugscope!
- Bugscope Team Hi Ms S!
- Teacher Hi Alex I'm early, just preparing for our session
- Bugscope Team Let us know when you have questions. You should now be able to drive, if you want.
- Bugscope Team no problem, you can practice driving if you want to. the scope is all yours
- Teacher How do I drive?
- Bugscope Team you should see controls on the top right of your browser
- Bugscope Team magnify, navigation, focus, adjust
- Bugscope Team try, for example, changing the mag to a higher or lower setting

- Bugscope Team yes your controls should be to the right
- Bugscope Team is there a blank space there?
- Teacher I can only see the image but I can't get to the right of the screen
- Bugscope Team what is your screen resolution?

- 8:03am
- Student ok
- Student what is this?
- Bugscope Team okay, just got off the phone with your teacher donna
- Bugscope Team she is going to login on a student computer
- Bugscope Team this is the head of a ladybug, magnified 124x
- Bugscope Team this is a ladybug head
- Bugscope Team luke, you actually have control of the scope, see the controls on the right?
- Bugscope Team try changing the mag
- Bugscope Team or drive around if you want
- Student yes
- Bugscope Team awesome, there ya go!
- Bugscope Team you are controlling an electron microscope, live over the internet
- Bugscope Team if you want to look at something else, you can click on a preset, and the scope will move to that preset
- Bugscope Team the compound eyes are on the side of the head, and the vacuum cleaner nozzle looking things are palps
- Student where are the eyes?
Bugscope Team check them out, they are on the right side of the head
- 8:08am
- Bugscope Team they are kinda big, and roundish
- Bugscope Team the palps help the ladybug taste and eat the food
- Bugscope Team and they are made up of smaller facets
- Student wow
- Student where is the mouth?
- Bugscope Team the mouth was in the middle of the head
- Student what are those?
- Student hwat kind of spider is this
- Bugscope Team these are setae, or insect hairs, on a spider

- Student what is his ?
- Student this*
- Bugscope Team These are setae on one of the spiders
- Student is that foot hair
- Student what do thet do?
- Bugscope Team setae are what we are supposed to call hairs
- Student what is a setae
Bugscope Team setae are hairs on an insect, they help the insect to sense its environment
- Student hello m
- Guest what do the cetea do
Bugscope Team the setae allow the insect to sense its environment in different ways. These probably are super sensitive to vibrations. other setae functions would be tasting, feeling, sensing wind movement, etc
- Bugscope Team they are sensory, often
- Student hello mr scientist
- Student are those the legs?
- Student image not showing
Bugscope Team if the image is blank, try hitting refresh, F5
- Guest where are the located
- Bugscope Team they transmit vibrations to the nerves so the spider can sense what is going on
- Student how big are they?
- Student where are they on the spider
- Student my name is cheese ball
- Student what are those
- Student what is this
- Bugscope Team cheese ball we are with you on that
- Student how many setaes do spiders have
- Student does it come off
- Bugscope Team Ms S!!! i was wrong about full screen mode, full screen mode is F11, not F5. F5 is refresh. my mistake.... try F11
- Guest where is the seta located
- Student can we see more of the bug?
Bugscope Team yes, currently luke has control, ask luke to reduce the magnification
- Student Does the hair grow if its cut off ?
Bugscope Team Once an insect has its final (adult) molt, any setae or hairs that get cut off will not grow back
- Student hellllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooo
- Student what structure is this?
- Guest what is this
- Bugscope Team with spiders you can often differentiate sex by looking at the palps on the front of the head -- of the cephalothorax
- Student i dont know
- Bugscope Team this is back to the ladybug
- Student yay, thank you.
- Student can they swing on webs
- Bugscope Team this is one of its claws

- Student 3
- Student 4
- Student 5
- Student +
- Guest what r those little priky things
Bugscope Team the hair on the right or on the claw?
- Bugscope Team Luke has control now
- Bugscope Team the tenent setae allow the ladybug to stick to walls and ceilings
- 8:13am
- Student wat iz dat?
- Student Do they need hair ?
Bugscope Team Insects wear their skeletons on the outside of their bodies. The setae are connected to the nervous system and they allow the insect to sense what is going on in its environment--through the exoskeleton
- Bugscope Team luke has control of the scope right now
- Student there is nothing there
- Student luke has control of the scope right now
- Student luke has control of the scope right now
- Student luke sjywalker use the power
- Student are those spikes?

- Student what is the phylum of the bug
Bugscope Team Arthropoda
- Guest what are the hair like substances used for
- Student what are the bumps on the top
- Bugscope Team okay, ms s, i just gave you control, did you get the screen res issue fixed?
- Bugscope Team tenent is Latin for 'to hold'
- Teacher Can you switch controls to adrianthac
- Student you tell me
- Student to stick to things s,rt one
- Student what to lady bugs eat?
Bugscope Team they eat other insects. they are helpful to gardens and farmers by eating aphids
- Student how old is the bug?
Bugscope Team Most insects have one generation per year---so I would say that this insect is one year old.
- Student 3
- Bugscope Team adrianthaco has control now!
- Student howw do you know
- Student why is it bumpy
- Student what is that?
- Student is that the mouth on top?
- Student do you have any cnidarians?
- Bugscope Team adrianthaco is driving now, nice!

- Bugscope Team yes, the face, if you can call it that
- Student does it have a homeotic leg?
- Bugscope Team kinda looks like me in the mornings...
- Guest how do u tell the difference between a male and female lady bug
Bugscope Team Females are generally larger in beetles.
- Student what kind of bug is this
- Bugscope Team this is the ventral side of the ladybug, and we can see part of the face
- Student what are those "tubey" things
- Bugscope Team click to stop!!!!
- Student your face
- Bugscope Team when you click to drive you have to click to stop as well
- Student Minor malfuntion
- Bugscope Team click on a preset please
- Student i cant see anything
- Student hellllllllllooooooooooooooooooo
- Student whats that
- Student whats that
- Student what is that?
- Bugscope Team when driving: click on ce to start moving, then you MUST click again to stop
- Student fly
- Student what is this?
- Student is that the cell
- Student is that a lilypad?
- Bugscope Team taco refresh your browser if necessary now
- Guest what is this
- Student wat are those circle things?
- Bugscope Team that is the carbon tape the samples are mounted on
- Bugscope Team this is a carbon tape on the stub, nothing interesting, click on a preset, yay! there ya go
- Student does the lady bug pee on you and give u a rash or infection?
- Student where are the antennas
- Student what is this
- Bugscope Team the circles are bubbles in the doublestick tape
- Student be nice alex, i'm new at this.
Bugscope Team no problemo! you are doing great andiranthaco!
- Guest what is that
- Student 4
- Student 34
- Student 4
- Bugscope Team this is the spider's mouth
- Bugscope Team this is the fang of a spider
- Student is that mucus
- Bugscope Team one of the spiders
- Bugscope Team the fangs are going across in the middle
- Student is this a spider
- Bugscope Team it has a bit of gunk on it
- Student ;-p
- Student how is that a spiders mouth?
- Bugscope Team yes it is poisonous
- Student =Þ
- Guest is this the inside of the mouth
- Student ;-D
- Bugscope Team you can see one of the poison ducts
- Bugscope Team could see one
- Student where?
- Student where
- Student if you look at the bug withiout the scope can you see the hair?
Bugscope Team well, probably not, the hairs are very small, but some setae are big on some insects, so maybe
- Student How are thier wings strong enough to fly?
Bugscope Team The exoskeleton is a hollw tube, making the insect light and yet strong. The thorax of insects is packed with muscle that can generate enough lift to get them off the ground.
- Student is this the flagela?
- Bugscope Team now you can see a mold spore
- Student what type of spider is this ?
- Student are these things sharp
- Student flagela is smaller
- Student looks lsimy
- Student yeah it looks like mold
- 8:23am
- Bugscope Team these setae here are too small to see with the naked eye, right annie?
- Teacher can the controls be switched tojesse
- Student is this the spiders head
- Student dous this bug have some kind of desease?
- Bugscope Team the chelicers, or chelicerae
- Student how small is the entire spider?

- Student where are the spiders found
- Student cn spders wlk on glss
- Bugscope Team this is a super tiny spider we had, and we don't know much about it
- Student Dous this bug have some kind of desease?!!!
Bugscope Team Maybe..it is hard to know if insects have diseases until you dissect them and look at their organs
- Student whos jesse?
- Bugscope Team yes many spiders can walk on glass
- Student whats the name of the spider?
- Student ok what do you know about it
- Student anything interesting?
- Student they fly?
- Student what type of spider is this?
- Student what;s with the thorax
- Student is this spider dead ?
- Student why are the legs curled up?
- Student was the a crushed spider?
- Student is that the front or back?
- Bugscope Team spiders can autotomize their legs

Bugscope Team It is clear in most species
- Teacher can you switch controls to rasheys
- Student i think the spider is on its back.
- Student how many legs are there
- Bugscope Team rasheys has control now!
- Bugscope Team rasheys has control
- Student 8
- Student wheres the head
- Student where's the head?
- Student have u ever put a live insect in the microscope before
- Student ok thank you for the info mr.
- Bugscope Team they can just let them detach if they sense venom -- if they have been bitten
- Student Can Insects be born with mutations ?
- Student but how come when u kill it its like brown
- Bugscope Team we have had live insects before
- Student how can you tell if the annimal has a disease
Bugscope Team You cut the insect open and look at its organs to see if there is anything abnormal. Then, you make a microscope slide with the blood of the insect, then look at the slide under the microscope to see if there are any pathogens in the bloos.
- Bugscope Team and insects can be born with mutations
- Bugscope Team like Annie said you can dissect them and sometimes tell that way
- Student does this spider have a head?
- Bugscope Team that was close...
- Bugscope Team we coat the bugs with gold-palladium
- Student what happened to the insects that were alive?
- Guest what is that hole
- Bugscope Team spiders often do not have a head -- they have a cephalothorax
- Student are you going to disect the spider after?
- Student whos cheeseball
- 8:29am
- Student can you explain what that is?
Bugscope Team we were looking at the abdomen of the spider. it was a bit deflated
- Student if they dont have heads then how do they see
- Bugscope Team no we will just trash it when we are done
- Student cheeseball is karen
- Student what is that hole?
- Student karen
- Bugscope Team they have a head/body
- Student wait on second will u be disecting the spider answer me please
Bugscope Team no, these are insects for bugscope only, we won't be dissecting these
- Student are we going to look at another insect
- Student oooo thanks
- Bugscope Team the head is not separate from the thorax
- Student that figures
- Bugscope Team this is an ant mouth
- Student that is ?
- Student What kind of mutions usually happen ?
- Student what is that?
- Student someone must have steped on it.
- Bugscope Team this is now the necl of the ant, and -- back to the mouth
- Student ok thanks mr.
- Bugscope Team there are hinged jaws going across
- Bugscope Team this is an ant
- Bugscope Team no prob
- Student doridos are better than cheeseballs
- Student is this a worm?
Bugscope Team this is an ant
- Guest what type of ant
- Student what kind of ant?
- Student You just said it was a spider
Bugscope Team well, it was, but rasheys click on preset #3, which took us to an ant
- Student does this ant bite
- Student or does it have teeth
- Student no
- Student can you automatically tell that something is abnormal?
- Student its an ant
- Student no
- Bugscope Team this ant can bite as well as sting
- Student what part of the ant is it
Bugscope Team this is the underside of the head
- Student do you kno what this spider ate for his last meal?
Bugscope Team probably a fly
- Student does it have any teeth?
- Student Ah, thankyou
- Student can the bite do damage to someons body
- Student ant not spider.
- Student is that the homeotic leg?
- Student ummmm
- Student so what if an insect bites an infected person? can anything bad happen to them?
- Student you tell me
- Student how long do these insects usually live?
Bugscope Team gosh, there is so much variation, even within a species, for example with these ants, the queen will live longer than a worker... but overall, they live a lot less longer than humans do
- Student like spiderman??
- Guest how come it isnt symmetrical
- Bugscope Team usually human diseases are not insect diseases, and vice versa
- Student where are the eyes?
- Bugscope Team this is bilaterally symmetrical
- Student Why do red ants bite while regular black ants dont ?
- Student what species of spider is this and what dous it eat ?!!
- Student does it have teeth?
- Student wheres the mouth
- Bugscope Team the eyes are not visible here
- Bugscope Team this is the mouth
- Student was this a red or black ant
- Student about how big are the eyes????
Bugscope Team ask rasheys to drive the scope to the eyes, al we'll take a closer look at them!
- Student is it able to kind of "chew" its food?
- Bugscope Team this could be an argentine ant, but I'm not sure
- Student wat if an ibnsect passes a human disease to another person by biting them?
- Bugscope Team this one may not chew its food
- Bugscope Team insect eyes are very cool looking
- Student WHAT SPECIES IS THIS AND WHAT DOES IT EAT?
- 8:34am
- Student why dont ants die when you step on them? dont you think we crush their exosceleton
- Student how big is its brain?
- Student where are the antanne
- Bugscope Team it may ingest it as a liquid
- Student is the ant able to "chew" its food
Bugscope Team Yes, they do chew their food...they have a number of mouthparts that we can barely see here that they use to chew
- Student thanks scottttttttttttttttttttttt
- Student oops caps lock srry :(
- Bugscope Team there is an eye
- Bugscope Team that's the eye on the left
- Student i dont think we saw the eye
- Student is it the netty thing?
- Bugscope Team now you can see an eye -- a compound eye -- and the base of an antenna
- Student oooo
- Student how many bubbly looking things are there?
- Bugscope Team the curved bumpy part is the eye
- Bugscope Team it's made up of individual facets, called ommatidia
- Student do they have good vision?
- Student ok
- Guest why does it have bumps on its eye
Bugscope Team each bump is an individual eye facet, with a lens
Bugscope Team it is a compound eye. the individual parts are called ommatidia and they each collect an image and send it back to the brain
- Bugscope Team they do not have particularly good vision
- Student its tons of little eyes
- Student duz the eye see like a million of the same things?
- Student its like looking at 16 bit pixels
- Student Stand for plege
- Student is there a mutation?
- Bugscope Team they use their antennae more than their eyes, generally, to collect information
- Bugscope Team ants don't usually have very good vision. some ants have no eyes at all.
- Bugscope Team some ants are blind -- they do not even bother to have eyes
- Student they use thier antennae to sense where they are? and how to move?
- Student so if each bumb is an eye does it see like 30 of the same thing?
Bugscope Team well, no, the brain collects the individual images and compiles it into one image. think about it: you have two eyes, do you see TWO images? no, just one
- Bugscope Team d'oh
- Student how do they go around iwhtout eyes ?
- Student its nto the same thing
- Student how much can it weight lift?
- Student arts
- Bugscope Team they can use their antennae to tell where they are and what is around them
- Student how do they ilft things
- Student ok
- Bugscope Team well, okay, maybe literally you see two images, but your brain makes it easy on you and convinces your mind that you are seeing one image
- Bugscope Team they use their mouths to grab hold of the things they want to move
- Student how many feet does it have
Bugscope Team 6. an ant is an insect
- Student hi xiara
- Student jesse!!
- Student much do ants weigh?
- Student julia
- 8:39am
- Bugscope Team there are many different types of ants in a colony, and they have different roles to play, of course
- Bugscope Team yes, all insects have 6 legs (feet)
- Bugscope Team and they wear loafers...
- Bugscope Team unlike Bee Story
- Student jesse
- Student bye mr. thank you for your help .
- Bugscope Team or Bee Movie, whatever
- Bugscope Team bee movie
- Bugscope Team so, you are all artists? is that right?
- Bugscope Team or in art class?
- Bugscope Team with the anthropomorphic insects
- Student ya has six feet but do all insects have six feet
Bugscope Team yes unless i accidentally take them off when putting them on the stub :)
- Student i am
- Student ??????
- Student biology
- Bugscope Team oh, my mistake, biology, cool!
- Student some of us are in art class for this
- Student i am a tard
- Student is that the eye
- Student can we change the pic...please
- Student that is not true
- Student i do AP biology
- Student yes u r XJ
- Student close up on the eyes
- Student yes joe you are
- Bugscope Team larval stages of insects may have more than 6 limbs
- Student evertone left
- Student how many bugs do you guys look at per year
Bugscope Team too many to count!
- Student werd
- Bugscope Team rasheys has control, ask him to click on another preset, or we can give control to someone else
- Student do bugs get pimples
Bugscope Team heh, well, i'm not sure, that's a good question though. however, they are probably far to concerned with surviving to care about acne or anything like that
- Student o
- Student do ants have good eye sight?
Bugscope Team no but thats ok because they don't rely on their eyes
- Student can it live with one eye
- Bugscope Team Rasheys you can change the mag or move if you want
- Student what do they eat
- Student joe are you xj
- Student hi kevin
- Student can we look at a butterfly
Bugscope Team we have a monarch butterfly wing on here as one of the presets

- Student what do ants do to sting you, any poisons?
Bugscope Team they inject you with formic acid when they sting you
- Bugscope Team jaykay has control
- Bugscope Team ok jay kay has control
- Student who has control'/
- Student u do
- Student whos xj
- Student ja kay ahs control!
- Student joe and xiara
- Bugscope Team lz they use their antennae
- Student hi joe
- Student xj is xiara and joe
- 8:44am
- Student why is this insect so furry?
Bugscope Team insect exoskeletons are like a suit of armor and they need to be able to sense whats going on around them but with the armor that is hard, so they have setae (hairs) to help them sense everything
- Bugscope Team they get lots of info from smells, etc
- Student any more pictures
- Student put on the stinger
- Bugscope Team jay kay, go ahead and drive around, click on a preset, whatever floats your boat
- Bugscope Team the fur is an abundance of sensory setae
- Student what kind of climate does it live in
- Student what is the biggest bug you have ever looked at?
Bugscope Team well, i'm pretty big, for a ladybug ;) naw, the ESEM is made to look at small things, to the biggest bug we could put in there would be about an inch or inch and a half
- Student keifer\r
- Student ??????
- Student is this a lea-cutter ant?
- Student leaf
- Bugscope Team some of the setae are mechanosensory and some are chemosensory
- Student are there different types of ants?
- Student are we still looking at the ant
- Bugscope Team this is not a leafcutter
- Student what type of ant is it?
- Bugscope Team we do have an ant on here that has a stinger

- Bugscope Team coo,l
- Bugscope Team cool i mean
- Student ooo cool
- Student what is the wing made of?
Bugscope Team They are made of chitin and protein
- Student what kind things do they sense?
Bugscope Team Insects sense smells emitted by their host plants or by other insects of the same species, they sense wind, they sense changes in the weather, they sense light, they sense heat...they sense every thing!
- Bugscope Team we have a couple of spiders, a monarch butterfly wing, 2 ants, a true bug, a ladybug

- Bugscope Team this is a monarch butterfly wing scale
- Student ok
- Student what is juju
- Student can we look at the head?
- Student what is juju?

- Student can we look at the whole thing
- Student are these rips in the wing?
- Student do u have any other pictures of the butterfly?
- Student is jesse controlling it now?
- Student why do differents kinds of butterflies have different colors?
Bugscope Team yes they have different color patterns, but we can't see color in the electron microscope
- Student gjh
- Bugscope Team wait, some of those black things are actually holes in the wing, i was wrong about the dirt thing!
- Student boo

Bugscope Team Monarch butterflies eat milkweed when they are caterpillars. As adults they feed on nectar from flowers
- Bugscope Team we are looking at a few wing scales of a Monarch butterfly, close up
- Student are butterflies poisonous?
- Bugscope Team this is what makes butterfly wings feel so slick
- Student how many different butterflies are there?
