• Bugscope Team Alright, I'll keep my eyes peeled
• Bugscope Team Cool, Thanks

• Bugscope Team I'll drive for a minute
• Bugscope Team Have a look around
• Bugscope Team Cool

• 5:37pm

• Bugscope Team Psedoscorpion
• Bugscope Team pseudo

• Bugscope Team Yeah they're neat. Kind of a let down on the no-stinger. I guess that's why you pay extra for the non-pseudo model

• Bugscope Team we just didn't have any scorps
• Bugscope Team What a neat body shape

• Bugscope Team So are those wings? It looks like they separate?

• Bugscope Team Rob brought this over, plus the pseudoscorpion, plus the woodlouse

• Bugscope Team I dunno.

• Bugscope Team Like I don't know if these guys fly or not.

• Bugscope Team the head is pretty rad-looking

• Bugscope Team Neat eyes

• Bugscope Team it has sort of terrestrial eyes

• 5:42pm

• Bugscope Team You think that's fungus?

• Bugscope Team Hah, he's got like a hood up there too

• Bugscope Team on the sides there
• Bugscope Team Cool. Are they like ladybugs where the wings are underneath the covers?

• Bugscope Team I am trying to read about them but most of the stuff online is about controlling them. they are serious plant pests
• Bugscope Team Got some chow, going to eat up before 6. You've got control back
• Bugscope Team awesome

• 5:49pm
• Bugscope Team Scott, we've got some journalism students here, I'm gunna grab control
• Bugscope Team Cool

• Bugscope Team Hi Cate!

• Bugscope Team Hello!

• Bugscope Team hey thought id see what was going on

• Bugscope Team This is a pseudoscorpion, as close as we could get to a scorpion, which we have looked at before. They're not as interesting.
• Bugscope Team Looks like we are in good shape, Cate.
• Bugscope Team This is super cool

• Bugscope Team little setae so it can feel what it is touching

• Bugscope Team these guys are all pinchers, all the time

• Bugscope Team like the worm's mouths in tremors

• Bugscope Team yeah it looks like they taste with these

• 5:55pm

• Bugscope Team Alright, it's starting to get crazy
• Bugscope Team gnarly

• Bugscope Team it has started
• Bugscope Team Just had the student over here controlling who collected these psuedoscorpions

• Bugscope Team These sensory hairs are really neat

• Bugscope Team I got an image of a mite shedding its skin -- molting -- the other day. it looked like it was taking its sweater off

• Bugscope Team that is what this reminds me of, because the setae remain intact and the shed cuticle comes off around them

• Bugscope Team oh wow

• Bugscope Team we've got someone who wants to drive

• Bugscope Team 'bout time... ;)

• Bugscope Team OOF
• Bugscope Team Hey kids
• Bugscope Team Annie!

• Bugscope Team HI!

• 6:00pm

• Bugscope Team Annie I am at Beckman; Alex, Chas, and Leilei are at Foellinger; and Cate did the setup and then took Zoey home, where she is nwo.

• Bugscope Team So we're all admins...
• Bugscope Team um, 'now.'
• Bugscope Team It is all admin chat today
• Bugscope Team yeah it wouldn't work very well
• Bugscope Team Is it appropriately freezing??
• Bugscope Team Someone just told us Bugscope was on PBS
• Bugscope Team not so bad, a little chilly
• Bugscope Team really?
• Bugscope Team UIUCnet knocked me off
• Bugscope Team hahah
• Bugscope Team nice.
• Bugscope Team we are back though, didn't have to relogin
• Bugscope Team do we have both computers running Bugscope?
• Bugscope Team Any details about Bugscope on PBS?
• Bugscope Team we were on NPR in 1999

• Bugscope Team this is a very old specimen, back when they were using square-cut pins

• Bugscope Team like Geo Washington times
• Bugscope Team busted big holes in the thorax

• 6:05pm
• Bugscope Team I dug up a giant shubbery from my yard today....

• Bugscope Team Is this a horse fly?

• Bugscope Team it's some kinda bee mimic

• Bugscope Team really looks like a bee, but has halteres

• Bugscope Team ahhh, the one that Cate caught
• Bugscope Team yeah I don't see how the proboscis works

• Bugscope Team ha a shrubbery

• Bugscope Team nice claws!

• Bugscope Team I squashed but two today
• Bugscope Team baby Jackalope here
• Bugscope Team But I was putting the hurt on snails
• Bugscope Team Did you save the rest for me?

• Bugscope Team I think fleas are so cool to look at
• Bugscope Team I didn't see any others...hahaha

• Bugscope Team they are really mechanical looking
• Bugscope Team When I have a shovel, I don't have vials

• Bugscope Team Ctenocephalitis
• Bugscope Team heh
• Bugscope Team hi scott!
• Bugscope Team Hello!
• Bugscope Team or is it Ctenocephalites?

• Bugscope Team prob'ly the latter -- the first is a disease, I bet

• 6:10pm
• Bugscope Team sounds like

• Bugscope Team ocelli

• Bugscope Team Are the halteres neat on the fruit fly?
• Bugscope Team They look like little punching bags, usually

• Bugscope Team looks like one on the left
• Bugscope Team rootin' tootin' frootin' fly
• Bugscope Team just the punching bag part
• Bugscope Team are the hypertrophied mechanoreceptors visible?
• Bugscope Team I don't know why I just said that
• Bugscope Team not on this one

• Bugscope Team 'cause you're in California?
• Bugscope Team there you go
• Bugscope Team Nice!

• Bugscope Team can you guys loick the session if you are going to drive

• Bugscope Team or wait, should i login as a teacher
• Bugscope Team do you want to drive? go ahead!

• 6:15pm
• Bugscope Team young driver?

• Bugscope Team the other haltere is not deflated like that one

• Bugscope Team ya

• Bugscope Team there we go...

• Bugscope Team a palm frond -- this was a martyr

• Bugscope Team nice

• Bugscope Team This driver seems to have done this before!

• Bugscope Team I think this is a robber fly.
• Bugscope Team really?
• Bugscope Team it looks so sweet

• 6:20pm

• Bugscope Team robber flies are mean little dudes

• Bugscope Team (I am Scot and home base)

• Bugscope Team They can't move their heads

• Bugscope Team like Cimex; they just drive their head and proboscis right into you
• Bugscope Team looks like this preset moved

• Bugscope Team yeah sorry that preset had moved since it was made
• Bugscope Team just to show people that these are not canned images

• Bugscope Team someone is doing a good job drivin'

• 6:25pm

• Bugscope Team microsetae on the wing

• Bugscope Team You can't prove otherwise.

• Bugscope Team I also believe in ghosts...and jaberwocks..and...

• Bugscope Team someone is holding a board with photos on it in front of a TV camera, and moving the board around

• Bugscope Team hahahah

• Bugscope Team pretty soon we'll see the Apollo astronauts

• Bugscope Team I also think that this experience would be improved if we had a video chat

• Bugscope Team you are feisty, Annie

• Bugscope Team Periplaneta
• Bugscope Team End of the world...whew, back to the cockroach

• Bugscope Team They look so much like mantids
  Bugscope Team yeah they do
• Bugscope Team torx

• 6:30pm
• Bugscope Team crashed

• Bugscope Team it was amazing how much the mites looked like ticks, and like spiders

• Bugscope Team The setate on the mite that looked just like spider setae is what impressed me the most...
• Bugscope Team crash again?

• Bugscope Team full crash
• Bugscope Team no

• Bugscope Team locked up the stage
• Bugscope Team this is cool
• Bugscope Team two sizes of brochs on a mold spore, on a wasp

• Bugscope Team we need to login as teacher/student
• Bugscope Team scott

• Bugscope Team Alex you are in blue -- a student!

• Bugscope Team now a guest with control

• 6:36pm

• Bugscope Team 200,000x

• Bugscope Team Do you have this under control?
  Bugscope Team Sure
• Bugscope Team hey Annie Thank You!

• Bugscope Team If I am ready early, I will log back in

• Bugscope Team Have fun!
• Bugscope Team ;)

• Bugscope Team ragweed pollen

• Bugscope Team Thanks!

• Bugscope Team We are more than an inch from the polepiece, so the high mag images don't have the resolution they could.

• Bugscope Team this is 200,000x again

• Bugscope Team Joanne may be there around 7:30, you guys...

• 6:41pm

• Bugscope Team mandible

• Bugscope Team setae on the mandible of the wasp
• Bugscope Team with some juju on them

• Bugscope Team should be some placoid sensilla on the antennae

• Bugscope Team yay!

• Bugscope Team brochosomes

• 6:46pm
• Bugscope Team ragweed pollen

• Bugscope Team making my eyes itch

• Bugscope Team the tongue has little flat tenent setae on it like tarsi often do

• Guest scott, what is a bee mimic?
• Guest we are curious...
• Guest scott, can you give chas contorl please?
• Guest scott can I have control?
• Bugscope Team this is a fly that evolved to look like a bee, so that other insects do not bother it
• Guest scott!?!?!?!?
• Bugscope Team heh
• Guest wow, cool scott, thanks
• 6:51pm
• Guest stephs dad is here
• Guest and younger brother

• Bugscope Team you can tell this is a fly because it has two wings and halteres

• Bugscope Team bees and wasps have four wings

• Guest mary kay says hi scott

• Bugscope Team these ridges are about 2 microns wide -- the width of a bacterium

• Bugscope Team the width of the length of a bacillus bacterium

• Bugscope Team 87,000x

• Bugscope Team the beam is distorting the sample
• Bugscope Team the electron beam is burning the sample here, at 175,000x
• Bugscope Team 175,284x

• Bugscope Team mold spore

• 6:56pm
• Bugscope Team with two sizes of brochosomes on it

• Bugscope Team 200,000x

• Bugscope Team They don't look so good because the sample is so far from the polepiece

• Bugscope Team if we were close the images would look better but you would not be able to go to very low magnification

• Bugscope Team wasp head

• Bugscope Team this is one of the mandibles, and now you see the tongue and some palps

• Bugscope Team those flat curled setae are parts of the tongue, which is in bees called a glossa

• Guest i'm losing my voice :(
  Bugscope Team sorry DaddyO

• Bugscope Team pseudoscorpion

• Bugscope Team see how small it is?

• 7:01pm

• Bugscope Team this is a lacebug, which is a plant pest

• Bugscope Team jackalope

• Bugscope Team ocelli

• Bugscope Team these are accessory eyes

• Bugscope Team these, now, are compound eyes, with little bristles sticking up between them
• Bugscope Team little setae
• Guest scott, can you give me control please?
• Bugscope Team got it hOlmes
• Guest thank dude

• Bugscope Team this is one of the antennae
• 7:06pm

• Bugscope Team are you counting the ommatidia?

• Bugscope Team this is the fruit fly compound eye...

• Bugscope Team this is the central portion of the head of the pseudoscorpion

• Bugscope Team looks like a trigger hair

• Bugscope Team it is really tiny

• Bugscope Team they look cooler, more interesting, than scorpions we have seen
• 7:12pm

• Guest dude we forgot bugscope flyers
• Guest lots of people are asking for some kind of pamphlet
• Guest can you give chas control
• Guest please
• Guest a student wants to look at a compound eye
• Guest thanks scott

• Bugscope Team bee right back

• Guest okay molms

• Guest holms

• Bugscope Team okay back...
• 7:17pm
• Bugscope Team so is it busy there?
• Guest a lul right now but it's been packed
• Guest lull?
• Bugscope Team yeah
• Guest can i have control again please

• Bugscope Team Stephanie Dold's dad and brother were there?

• Guest control plz

• Guest scott, can you kill alex, cites hosed my connection again

• Bugscope Team Alex is gone.
• Bugscope Team nice haltere
• Guest thanks man

• Bugscope Team comb

• Bugscope Team much like that of an ant

• Bugscope Team hymenopterans
• 7:22pm

• Bugscope Team this wasp really got around

• Bugscope Team led a full life

• Guest scott, can chas control please

• Bugscope Team Chas has control. Do you mean Stop Driving?
• Bugscope Team this is the arolium
• Bugscope Team the part in between the claws

• Guest is that a mite?
• Bugscope Team I think it is an egg of some sort
• Guest coolness
• 7:27pm
• Guest dude, we've had some great questions from some cool people
• Bugscope Team usually mites are larger, although there are super tiny mites too
• Guest we are telling them: google -> bugscope
• Bugscope Team I think that is the best way to get to us, since the pamphlet is outdated anyway; we need to re-do it

• Bugscope Team pseudoscorpions are predators, but their prey must be very small
• Bugscope Team they could eat mites

• Bugscope Team and those are pedipalps, in the middle
• Bugscope Team like jaws
• Bugscope Team they have eyes on the side of the thorax, not sure we can see them
• Bugscope Team they also produce webs -- they have spinnerets
• Bugscope Team and I should have said cephalothorax, like a spider's
• Guest can i have control again please
• Guest scoot
• Guest thanks dudeness
• Bugscope Team there you do DaddyO
• Bugscope Team go
• Bugscope Team otherwise it doesn't rhyme

• 7:33pm

• Bugscope Team fine setae -- microsetae -- on the wings

• Bugscope Team below where we are now

• Bugscope Team better better better
• Bugscope Team good job

• Bugscope Team those are not sensory setae

• Guest pretty quiet at the moment, the movie might have just started

• Bugscope Team I think the microsetae help add surface area, and they also probably help keep the wings from sticking to things when they get wet

• Bugscope Team cool
• Bugscope Team there were supposed to be some nice 'shorts' before the first movie

• Bugscope Team this roach has only one of those cerci
• 7:38pm

• Bugscope Team sculpted claw

• Bugscope Team the pseudoscorpion looks like Popeye, and this looks like an anchor

• Bugscope Team how is Leilei? Did he get his face painted?

• Guest scott, looks like my control is gone
• Guest i'm trying to clicjon preset 1 its failing

• Bugscope Team it's not working from here either

• Guest okay, we'll wait till it's fixed

• Bugscope Team okay you should see the dragonfly head now
• 7:43pm
• Bugscope Team can you drive?
• Bugscope Team fierce little biting mouthparts

• Bugscope Team Alex!!
• Guest trying now
• Bugscope Team Looks like you have control now

• Guest yep, works, thanks dude maistro!
• Bugscope Team but you went right back to the roach!
• Guest dude, i was talking to chas, we were discussing your dating patterns
• Guest real quiet now that the movie is underway
• Bugscope Team can you go to preset one if you try?
• Guest trying preset 1 now

• Bugscope Team there it is
• Guest works!
• Bugscope Team so cool
• Guest awesome, thanks
• Guest maybe RXL went down?
• Guest earlier I mean
• Bugscope Team do you guys think we should close up, or are there more people?
• Guest there's still people, i don't think we should close just yet
• Bugscope Team I didn't close and open it; I did refresh the browser on the control page window

• Bugscope Team I am cool, just want to ensure that you guys are fine

• Bugscope Team so yeah RXL I did not mess with

• Guest hi scott
• Bugscope Team Hello!

• Bugscope Team np

• 7:48pm

• Bugscope Team this claw seems to be popular

• Bugscope Team where is Leilei?
• Guest scott, can you staret rxl again, we lost conotrol
• Guest chillin next to us
• Guest leilei is right here
• Guest the rxl control is down again

• Guest can you give chas control please
• Bugscope Team k you should be good

• Guest awesome, it's working now. i'll bet my wireless connection has idled again... silly CITES!
• Bugscope Team I see that the best way to do it is to open the Readiness Checklist
• Guest i'm going to logout/log back in again

• Bugscope Team as your ownself

• Bugscope Team lost Alex
• Bugscope Team yay!
• Guest i'm back, i reconnected to the wireless
• Bugscope Team yeah that is what I figured

• Guest okay, we are cool for now
• Guest it's thining out a bit

• Bugscope Team whoops someone else got it
• Guest Sorry I was just testing
• Bugscope Team right on the spiracle again -- the roach was holding its breath

• Bugscope Team nature's wirestripper
• Bugscope Team um it's a rock
• Bugscope Team looks like Australopithecus was here.
• 8:00pm
• Guest still some people, but it's thinning a bit
• Bugscope Team let me know as soon as you need control back, or just start driving...
• Guest alright, it's just us three hanging out right now

• Bugscope Team this wasp was seriously friendly with some leafhoppers
• Bugscope Team did Leilei get his face painted with a trilobite?

• Bugscope Team more distal

• Bugscope Team portion

• Bugscope Team w some plant fiber

• Bugscope Team busted off tip

• Bugscope Team going toward the head...
• Bugscope Team (south)

• 8:15pm

• Bugscope Team hamuli

• Bugscope Team this is a prehistoric insect

• Guest scott, it's confused again, can you restart rxl?

• Bugscope Team this is the sad pseudoscorpion

• 8:21pm

• Bugscope Team lacebug wing

• Bugscope Team ragweed pollen

• Bugscope Team this is the tongue of the wasp

• Bugscope Team mandible above

• 8:26pm
• Bugscope Team the wasp tongue is like those large flat cloth ribbons at an automated car wash

• Bugscope Team this is the leading edge of the hindwing
• Bugscope Team with hamuli
• Bugscope Team on the wasp

• Bugscope Team this is a martyred insect
• Bugscope Team with a palm frond on it
• Bugscope Team like a painting of a saint

• Bugscope Team disguised as a bee

• Bugscope Team this is a very old sample, from George Washington's time, when they used to make their own insect pins.
• Bugscope Team like cut nails
• Bugscope Team you can see where the square cut nail/pin pierced the thorax
• 8:32pm
• Guest so who gave us this sample?
• Bugscope Team Cate had it.
• Bugscope Team I think it came from Annie's collection.

• Guest so they're really that old? Where'd she get them?
• Bugscope Team sorry I was jokng because the hole in the thorax is square

• Bugscope Team this shows you that we're looking at a fly
• Bugscope Team rather than a bee, that this resembles

• Guest scot, can you give chas control please
• 8:38pm
• Guest how long does this go?
• Guest i have a radio show at 10, and i need to feed my cats, and i need to take out beef stroug from the slow cooker
