Bugscope Team juju is stuff like dirt and dust and slime that we do not recognize right away
- Student my legs are this hairy
- Student are these hairs or spikes?
Bugscope Team they are hairs, but they are called setae (see-tee), insects sense their environment through those setae, they can feel with them, smell, sense temperature, etc.

- Student this looks like a shell is it?????
Bugscope Team yes it is a shell - it is made of chitin, which is like what your fingernails are made of
- Guest why does it has hair
Bugscope Team the hair, called setae, help it to sense its environment. since bugs don't have nerves in their skin (they don't even have skin), they need those hairs, big time, to feel their way around

- Guest cuz
- Student no its is job

- Student a niche is a job
Bugscope Team so what is the beetl

- Guest why is it hery
- Guest how does the insects uses these hairs
Bugscope Team they use them to taste, to feel wind or touch, to feel hot and cold
- Guest tiliter

- Student do bees have taste buds?
Bugscope Team They have chemical receptors that tell them if something is good to eat or not--so yes, taste buds
- Student why are there particles in the tongue of the bee?
- Bugscope Team this is a termite, it looks kind of deformed though... poor little dude

- Student o that makes a lot of sense
- Guest !!!!!
- Student hi cate do u like your job????????
- Guest wow were those hairs?!?
Bugscope Team sort of like hairs, yes
Bugscope Team those were probably chemosensory setae, so hairs that can sense chemicals in the air and help the insect to find food, etc.
- Student is that a leg????? :p

- Guest thanxs


- Student pp

- Guest whos stoolen
- Student is that his arm

- Bugscope Team those are the chelicers
- Student what is a spiricale
Bugscope Team A spiracle is a nostril for an arthropod. Although insects have nostrils all over their bodies, not just on their faces.
Bugscope Team a spiracle is a breathing hole on the side of a bug. bugs don't breath like humans, instead they have holes on the sides of their abdomens, and air goes inside and the bug absorbs the air that way. pretty cool huh?
- Student wta does it do ??


- Guest what is its niche

- Student y do they have 8 eyes?????
Bugscope Team it gives them better peripheral vision, but they often do not see well
- 11:57am

- Guest Wath's this?
Bugscope Team these are moth scales
- Student i thing this hair is near the eye
- Student what are those and what do they do
Bugscope Team those are scales, and one thing they do is come off when the moth flies into a spider web. they stick to the web and the moth may be able to get away

- Guest hey scot wats dat on da scope????

- Guest u r all cool cool
- Guest What is that?

- 12:07pm

- Student whoz twilighterz
- Guest oh
- Student what are the circles for?!?!?!?!?
Bugscope Team those are the edges of the placoid sensilla, which we think are chemosensors. but they could also be touch sensors, since they likely move slightly as the antenna moves

- Guest how do moth communcate?
Bugscope Team Moths communicate almost entirely by smell and taste. They smell other moths, they smell their host plants, and they taste their host plants when they walk on the plant.
- Guest why does it have a spine on the wing?
Bugscope Team the spine may help it feel when the wing bends too much

- Student WHOS LIO+}
- Guest dont hate
- Student just kiddin
- Guest That looks like you
- Student annie why do bugs have so mo much hair???
Bugscope Team All insects have hair because they need hairs to sense their environment through their thick exoskeleton. The hairs connect with the insects nervous systems and let it know what is going on. Different hairs sense smells, motion, vibrations, tastes.
- Student Why is it holy
Bugscope Team the holes seem to be there to protect small setae that are likely chemosensory -- they taste the air, or smell
- Guest annie why does it have wholes
- Student WOW BIG WOOP
- Student WHOS LOL=
- Student ??
- Guest annie why does it have whol;es?
Bugscope Team Those little indentations probably have small setae at the base. The setae may be to sense chemicals in the environment.
- Student what is that
- Guest Hey whats up scot?
- Bugscope Team stinkbugs do not like the smell they make

- Student HEY SCOTT HOW U DOIN
Bugscope Team so far so good
- Guest annie why do bugs have so much hair
Bugscope Team They usually don't taste the air, they usually taste a surface, like a leaf or other potential food.
- Student HAHA

- Student NOYB ehh jk its Lilly Nd Vickster haha

Bugscope Team Hi!

- Guest what is the stuff in the holes
Bugscope Team there's a lot of dust in the holes, but also setae
- Student wat do u knw about bugs 4 knw
- Student DATS PRETTY GOOD SCOT BUT WAT IS DAT
Bugscope Team pheromones are kind of like perfume is supposed to be -- they are supposed to attract other insects of the same species
- Student a person personm
- Student hi scott
Bugscope Team Hi Buttons
- Student Hi annie how are yuh doing?
Bugscope Team I am good...sitting in the sun, warming up, talking bugs
- Student wat up anniewhats pheromones!!!????
Bugscope Team Pheromones are chemicals that are released into the air that communicate with other insects. Pheromones are used to help insects find and recognize each other--it is like smelling your grandma's perfume and knowing it is your grandma
- Student Why are bugs so small
Bugscope Team they cannot be too much bigger because of the way they absorb oxygen
- Student HI=]=]=]=] PPL
- Student What are phermones???
Bugscope Team pheromones are various chemical scents in the air, produced by insects in this case
- Guest wHOES aNNIE?
Bugscope Team Um, I am an entomologist

- Student wat do u guys wanna talk about
- Student what is setae
- Student y r bugs so harry?

Bugscope Team ESEM is environment Scanning Electron Microscope. We are using it right now but as a SEM. We have the option of forming water droplets in the microscope if we wanted to
- Student hi who sais hi
- Guest why does it have so much hair(scot)
- Student WHy can't they obsorbe a lot of oxigen Scot
Bugscope Team they are not as efficient as we are at processing oxygen. ours gets distrubuted through the blood, through the circulatory system, but bugs do not have the same setup
- Student DATS KUL SCOTT THANKS
- Student hi scott
- Student Thats Great=) is it summy overe there annie?/
Bugscope Team yes
- Student como Que wat
- Teacher please give control to zusett
- Student Or smelling your sister and getting discusted hehe jkjk
Bugscope Team sure, same thing...smelling someone and being able to tell something about them from their smell--that is kind of like a pheromone. Since insects are so small and they don't have very good eyesight, they have to rely on smell to find each other.
- 1:19pm
