Bugscope Team yes, I was wrong earlier when I said it was the backswimmer
- Guest cool
- Student wht is exskeleton?
Bugscope Team insects don't have skin, instead they have an exoskeleton, a hard shell that has no nerves in it. that's why they need those hairs (setae) so they can feel things. the setae stick through the exoskeleton to nerves inside the body
- Student hi person in front of us
- Student its like teeth
- 8:17am
- Student lol
- Guest its this a skeleton of the bug or is this a recently dead bug

- Guest zoom in on the head
- Student can you zoom in on head
- Student can you zero in on the head
- Guest don't zoom the head
- Bugscope Team we are moving to the backswimmer
- Bugscope Team the setae (hairs) are sensory, so insects feel with them
- Guest kool
- Student hello??? what happened/
- Bugscope Team okay, this is the backswimmer head
- Guest do they have eyes
Bugscope Team yes, they have two big compound eyes on either side of it's head
- Guest that looks weird!

- Guest is the bug male or female
- Bugscope Team we are zooming in on one of the eyes now
- Student Is the thing that says 689 the databar?
- Student okay so what are we doing? im lost!
- Bugscope Team these are compound eyes, made up of hundreds of individual facets, called ommatidia
- Student that is 1 of the eye
- Guest that looks like a golf ball
- Bugscope Team yes, this is a compound eye
- Guest all those bumps oin the background?

- Bugscope Team those are the facets of the eye, called ommatidia
- Student it looks like the moon
- Guest is this bug a male or female??
Bugscope Team we can't tell, sometimes, like now
- Guest whats is an ommatidia?
- Bugscope Team usually the bumps are outward, but these are inward
- Guest it loks like a golf ball
- Bugscope Team the ommatidia are the individual bumps on the compound eye
- Student omititiya?? is that what its called?
Bugscope Team ommatidia are the facets of the compound eye
- Guest what is an compound eye?
Bugscope Team insects have compound eyes, they have more lens's than human eyes, but they are less complex
- Bugscope Team each ommatidium has a lens in it, so the insect sees hundred of images, and it's bug brain puts it into one image for it
- Guest ok cool
- Guest wierd
- Student why cant you tell if it is a male or femal?
Bugscope Team sometimes you can, but i'm not sure how on this bug

Bugscope Team yep, and a claw is there too
- Student what are diatomes?
- Guest ya
- Guest cool
