- Student hola
- Bugscope Team the insects are in the electron microscope, in a vacuum chamber
- Bugscope Team Technically the word "bug" only refers to insects in the order Hemiptera. Hemiptera includes things like box elder bugs, wheel bugs, bed bugs, and other insects with sucking mouthparts and incomplete metamorphosis.

Bugscope Team not really, they are setae, little hair-like extensions of the insect's cuticle that help it to sense its environment through its thick exoskeleton
- Bugscope Team it is an accessory mouthpart that helps the insect taste and manipulate its food
- Teacher please give control to joreyka_alejandra

- Bugscope Team the hole is a pit that has what are likely chemoreceptors in it
- Student it can taste with it's feet? O_o
- 5:07pm
- Student how do they get used to their habitab
Bugscope Team Well, most insects are "born" in their natural habitat. There is not too much to get used to. If they somehow are moved to a habitat other than their own, often they cannot find the right food or deal with differences in temperature or weather. In those cases, the insect usually dies.
- Student what is that?
- Student whats up stormtroopers
- Student ooo! sorry
- Student why does it look like a hole?
- Student whats that?\
- Student wat up

- Student who ab2
- Bugscope Team ok A&A

- Student cool i guess..
- Student how muck do u guys get paid 4 to us?
- Student wat type of habitat does a fly have?
Bugscope Team There are LOTS of types of flies. Some flies suck the blood of larger animals, so they would live in barns or near houses or someplace like that. Some flies are decomposers, so they would live on rotten animals or rotten plants or on poop. There are some flies that eat plants or fruit. There are almost as many flies as there are habitats!
- 5:17pm

- Teacher yes, nice work on the preset! Amazing!
- Bugscope Team Mr M when we do this we work at a long working distance in the 'scope so the kids can see more of a given insect at low mag
- Bugscope Team so when we want to get much better resolution we move samples to a shorter working distance
- Teacher cool i see.
- Teacher it is easy to get lost close up
- Bugscope Team just now I did not move closer but just made a couple of adjustments to the controls at the 'scope
- Bugscope Team when we see things like brochosomes it would always be best to work up close
- Bugscope Team because they are so small and cool-looking
- Teacher i have no image . should i log back in?
- Bugscope Team refresh
- Bugscope Team try refreshing your browser
- Bugscope Team that should do it
- Bugscope Team F5
