- 12:25pm
- Bugscope Team Hey Clarebear

- Guest Hi - glad that I was able to log on as a guest - what are we looking at?
- Bugscope Team this is a spider face -- a female spider of some sort



- Guest what kind of fly is this?
- Bugscope Team We're setting up for today's session, which starts at 1 our time.
- Bugscope Team this is a big kind of weird-looking housefly
- 12:31pm




- 12:39pm



- 12:44pm





- 12:49pm




- 12:55pm

- Bugscope Team We are ready to roll!
- Bugscope Team Clare you should be able to see the chat, and the list of names to the left of the image, the image itself, and the presets we just made, to the right of the chat. When we give someone control of the 'scope, that person can also see the controls, to the right of the image.
- 1:01pm
- Guest I can see everything, thanks.
- Guest hey
- Bugscope Team Hello Darksidesdestiny!
- Bugscope Team Welcome to bugscope!
- Guest Hello
- Bugscope Team Hello Ms Louise!
- Guest What's this
- Bugscope Team which I don't think this one is
- Student what am i looking at
- Student ?!?!?!?!?!
- Student hello!
- Bugscope Team this is one of the legs of a spider. all spiders are venomous, but some are worse than others, as Cate said.
- Guest What kind of spider is this :o
Bugscope Team we aren't very good at identifying spiders, but it was probably a wolf spider
- Student yea does it have venom
- Guest which spider?
- Bugscope Team we are looking at one of the legs, below the joint
- Student what are the pointy thingys?
Bugscope Team that's right the pointy things are hairs, or setae
- Student hairs
- Student hi
- Student sup jordan
- Guest a wolf spider
- Student its a spider
- Student lol
- Student look at this bug
- Student ??
- Bugscope Team the pointy thingys are setae -- little hairlike projections that help the spider sense vibration, and touch
- Student of which animal
- Student no
- Guest But what are it's characteristics
Bugscope Team it has a head and torso in one, called a cephalothorax, and an abdomen, and eight legs
- Student yea
- Guest hello
- Student what are the wholes>
- Student Hiiii
- Teacher please let amber drive the microscope
Bugscope Team amber has control
- Student stalker
- Guest what kind of bug is this
Bugscope Team we are still on the spider
- Student can it kill ?
Bugscope Team yes it can kill -- it injects venom into its prey, and the venom dissolves the internal organs, which it then sucks back up, like a milkshake. that is how almost all spiders feed
- 1:06pm
- Bugscope Team the cephalothorax is hardened, but the abdomen is soft and shrivels when the spider dies
- Student Do u kill animals
- Student too bad
- Guest What do those "hairs" do?!?!
Bugscope Team the hairs are sensory -- the help the spider sense vibration, touch, and sometimes smell
- Student what are the wholes in the leg of this spider?
Bugscope Team those are places where the setae (hairs) popped out



- Student what is this

- Student Do these hairs poisin uu
Bugscope Team some spiders also have what are called 'urticating hairs' that they release when you get too close -- they are irritating but not poisonous.
- Guest what is this bugs specalties

- Student look at this dinosour

- Student CAN IT KILL ANYTHING
Bugscope Team smaller insects
- Student yay

- Student So they dont kill uu
- Student THE SPIDRE


- Guest What else is in the image?
- Student now it looks like a leg


- Student friends

- Bugscope Team Amber you also have the ability to click on any of the presets to go to those other places on the stub.
- Student errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
- Guest which bugs does it eat
Bugscope Team they eat whatever they can. I am not sure, as was asked earlier, how they do against praying mantises
- Student errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
- Student rawhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
- Student errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
- Student What are these things that i am luking at scot

- Student what is this?
- Guest What is this?
Bugscope Team these are salt crystals fromw endy's
- Student What is that
- Guest what is inside of this
- Student wendy's salt??
- Student what exactly does this bug eat cate????
Bugscope Team this one doesn't but the spider eats insects like flies or small beetles
- Student what bug is this
- Student why r we lookin at salt

- Student Umm thanks scot and im nicole
- Teacher please let angela drive
Bugscope Team angela has control
- 1:11pm
- Student who's wendy?
- Student y r wi lookin at salt
Bugscope Team this shows that we dont have to look at only insects in the microscope and that this in particular is special because it looks like it is aztec
- Student thats scott and by the way im tatyana diaz
- Guest In THIS image why are these salt crystels cubes
Bugscope Team salt, which is sodium chloride, forms cubic crystals; compare it to sugar, which does not naturally form into tiny cubic crystals
- Student ????????????????????????????????????????????????????
- Guest Scot whats inside of these
- Student Iss it in the stomach
- Student okk thank you cate
- Student :)

- Student WHAT IS THAT
- Guest whats this
- Student Is that the hair


- Student IS IT ALIVE
- Student what bug is this
- Student What is that
Bugscope Team we were on another similar spider and looking at its eyes

- Bugscope Team the salt from Wendy's has this cool incised appearance like Aztec sculpture.

- Student IS IT ALIVE
Bugscope Team none of what is in the microscope today is alive

- Student IS IT A SACK
- Student iu just changed mine
- Bugscope Team now this is on a moth
- Guest what is this
- Student mold spores on moth eyes
- Student i was tatyx3
Bugscope Team cool so you are still Tatyana...
- Guest What are those patterns
Bugscope Team those were the dots that make up the surface of the compound eye

- Student THANKS ARRAN
- Student So are u doing these things right now or u did this long time ago
Bugscope Team we mounted the samples on a stub and coated them with gold-palladium, and we put them in the 'scope today; then we found these cool places for you to drive to, but you can go anywhere you want
- Student looks like a human
- Student IT LOOKS LIKE A HUMAN
- Student yes
- Guest Scot what is this
Bugscope Team this is a ladybug larva

- Student what is this
- Student what Is this is it a insect fighting
Bugscope Team nothing it probably just ended up drying in that position, but it did like to eat aphids when it was alive



- Student Is it lyke a red ladybug
- Bugscope Team this is what ladybugs look like when they are young, before they turn into beetles
- Guest What part is this?!




- Student IT LOOKS LIKE A MONSTER

- Guest can larva look different from its parents







- Student :B

- Teacher please let arron drive

- Teacher sorry aaron
Bugscope Team aaron has control


- Student why does it look so different than a ldy bug ????(cate,scotj,scot, and chaos
Bugscope Team it is a larva, like a caterpillar compared to a butterfly; it's what they look like before they metamorphose into little beetles -- the ladybugs
- 1:16pm
- Guest What's this?
- Student Whats this
- Guest its a moths wing
Bugscope Team it's a scale on the moth wing-- one scale

- Student Are these things found on the land or somewere else
Bugscope Team on the land or in the air, although some insects have a phase in which they in the water
- Guest its amazing
- Student what is this
- Student Is that vits eyes
- Guest a
- Guest COLLOLR WILL THISS REFLECT
Bugscope Team I am not sure -- I think this was a brown moth, so not so interesting
- Guest isnt this a moths scale, Scot?
Bugscope Team yes it is! one of the wing scales
- Student what is this
- Guest What is this incect? What part?
Bugscope Team this is a single scale from a wing
- Guest NO CO MENT
- Student hii again itz tatyana
- Guest it looks scaled
- Student i keep chnging mine because it keeps signing me outt
Bugscope Team yeah I am not sure why it is doing that; we will have to check
- Student Taty go away
- Guest it lookzz funny
- Guest this bug is cool
- Guest it looks like a net

- Guest HI
- Student okk
- Bugscope Team scales are also the same stuff that rubs off on your fingers when you touch their wings- the powdery stuff
- Guest Is this a beetle?
Bugscope Team they are called hemipterans, although they look like beetles
- Bugscope Team this is not very well preserved, but you can see its proboscis, much like a bedbug's
- Guest what bug is this?
- Student it was tatyx3
- Guest what bug is this
Bugscope Team scott things this is a bed bug, and it could be
- Student what bug is this??
Bugscope Team it's some kinda true bug, and it looks like a bedbug
- Student (cate and scotj)
- Guest Hi im a bug reashcer
Bugscope Team cool!
- Guest true bug?
Bugscope Team yes it's a type of bug that resembles a beetle and has a long proboscis it uses to drink from plants or other insects
- Student ilee
- 1:21pm
- Teacher please let taty drive
- Student what is a true bug
- Guest What of hemipteran is it
- Student can a bug that is not posonist give u a infection
Bugscope Team mosquitos are the deadliest insect because they can give you many different diseases and ticks carry stuff too
- Student what is a true bugg
Bugscope Team true bugs are called Hemiptera, and they all have piercing/sucking mouthparts like this one; they also have half membranous wings
- Guest Can a bug raise from the dead
Bugscope Team we can freeze them sometimes and they will wake up, but they didn't really die
- Bugscope Team Taty is the supreme ruler now.







- Student yay mee
- Student What is this
- Student IS THAT A WHOLE?
Bugscope Team yeah it is a broken area in the thorax

- Student thanks
- Student so its dead right
Bugscope Team yes all of these are dead
- Student what if we were froze would we cme back jus like bugs
- Student whats inside of the whole?
- Student ???
- Student so does it given the bug a problem
Bugscope Team yeah it won't live with a big hole in it
- Guest what about the abdomin Scot?
Bugscope Team the abdomen is a little further south, a little more to the bottom


- Student will the bug die now thatit has a whole?
Bugscope Team it had a hole in it because a student stuck it to a board for their project at one point and then later donated it to us
- Student so does it die right away'

- Guest WHY that area is broken though it's the 3rd segement that's soft enough to break?



- Bugscope Team so it has been long dead
- Guest is any thing wrong with its abdomin?
- Student kwho donated to uu
- Student i didn't kno it had claws where are their claws?
Bugscope Team they are at the end of their legs.. insects have them at the ends of each of their legs too
- Teacher please let msjuicifruitdrive
Bugscope Team they have control

- Guest Is the claw that big thing in the middle of those hairs
Bugscope Team yes it is!
- Student even daddy long legs have claws?
Bugscope Team DaddyLongLegs have sort of wimpy little curly tips to their legs, but they have pincers on their heads
- 1:27pm
- Guest Is the claw sturdy
- Student what it thiss
- Student ????

- Guest What's that?
Bugscope Team this is sugar, which does not form cubes, not naturally
- Student is the sugars different from the salts
Bugscope Team yes. sugar isn't really cubic, they can be more rectangular or have more sides than that. Salt will always be cubic
- Student what is this image
- Guest How are the salts and the sugar different?
Bugscope Team they are made of different chemicals, of course, and they form different shapes -- so these are like dodecahedrons or something -- they have many facets
- Guest Why not naturally?
- Student does the sugar help the insectsa
- Student what if we were froze would we cme back to like like bugs do???( cate or scotj)
- Student isnt it salt?

- Teacher please let rainbow drive
Bugscope Team rainbow has control
- Bugscope Team here are the spider eyes
- Guest does this salt attract bugs
Bugscope Team I am not sure if salt attracts bugs, but sometimes water does


- Student WHAT DOES SUGAR HAVE TO DO WITH BUGS?
Bugscope Team nothing, just thought it would be fun to look at :)


- Bugscope Team this is the face of the moth
- Guest why does water attract bugs
Bugscope Team well some insects like mosquitoes lay their eggs in it, and some insects want a tiny sip of it; if they do not have any water at all they may not live
- Bugscope Team yeah we wanted you to be able to see what salt and sugar look like up close
- Student ohh okay...ho0w many lenses does it hav?
Bugscope Team i'd estimate hundreds, if not more. Too many for me to count!, maybe you can later
- Student so when the eyes look at one oint does when hey hear something do they get scared or sdo they fly away
Bugscope Team they can sometimes feel with setae that are on their eyes, and sometimes they do have any automatic 'run away!' response.
- Student what if we were froze would we cme back to like like bugs do???( cate or scotj)
Bugscope Team I hope not.




- Student IS THAT A MOUTH?
Bugscope Team the in the middle is the sponging mouth of the fly

- Student thankss
- Guest what is this
- Guest what are those things in the sponge part
- 1:32pm
- Student what insects mouth is this??
Bugscope Team this is a housefly, and that is its tongue

- Student Well thanks scott i have to go now i hope u have fun with the other kids byeeee:):]
Bugscope Team Thank You!
- Teacher please let mountain dew drive
Bugscope Team got it!

- Student why is it so hairy
Bugscope Team the hairs help it taste, feel, hear, and sense hot/cold
- Student ???
- Student so...
- Guest is thi its mouth
- Student does it have teeth?*

- Guest Do they haw jaws
Bugscope Team some of them have jaws, but not flies -- flies have sponging or sucking or slashing mouthparts
- Student ohh

- Student Wait i have another question doo someone or something tell them too run away
Bugscope Team sometimes they have automatic nervous responses to something touching them, for example -- they may run without thinking about running

- Student no bugs have teeth?
Bugscope Team a lot of insects have a pair of hinged jaws they use to bite into other insects, and then sometimes those jaws have serrations on them that make them more like a steak knife

- Guest What are those circle things
Bugscope Team those are the facets of the compound eye, also called 'ommatidia.'
- Teacher please let epikknezz drive
- Student is that a bee hive?
Bugscope Team nope this is the compound eye of the fly



- Student OHEW
- Student what are those hears near the compound eyes
- Guest What are those hairss

- Guest What are the hairs next to the compound eye?
Bugscope Team those are called the 'vestiture,' which means they are kind of the 'dressing' of the head. they are usually sensory, collecting information
- Student hairs? neeer the eyes!?!
- Student i mean eyes
- Teacher these students are going to sign off now, and I am going to bring a second group
Bugscope Team ok sounds great!
- Student i mean hairss

- Guest bye
- 1:37pm
- Guest bye
- Student can you answer my question because i have to go
- Guest We Have To leave Now
- Guest Bye! Thank YOu
- Bugscope Team thanks everyone!
- Student okay bye scotj and cate thanx for the answers~!
Bugscope Team Thank You!
- Student good byee...thanks you guyss
Bugscope Team Bye! Thank You Tatyana!
- Student hello what type of bug is this
Bugscope Team this is part of a ladybug larva, and it is actually a bunch of bacteria
- Student what university do you work at
Bugscope Team we are at the University of Illinois
- Student hey what is this i am looking at
Bugscope Team this is a glob of bacteria and other stuff
- Student is this how the baby lady bugs look like or is this the inside of the egg
Bugscope Team when you see this at a lower mag it will make more sense; this is very close up

- 1:42pm





- Student what kind of bacteria? where is it cominq from
Bugscope Team the bacteria come from spores in the air, among other places

- Student what is dis?
- Student wow this is very interesting.
Bugscope Team it looks much like a caterpillar
- Student What is aphids?
Bugscope Team they are agricultural pests, maybe you dont see them too much up in new york, but they can get very annoying over here where they will fly in swarms and hit you and stick to you
- Student what is this a picture of
- Student Oh very unique is there any reason it is gray?
Bugscope Team we are using a scanning electron microscope, and the images that come from it are signal that does not have color, just gray scale -- black to white
- Student it does
- Student what is this
- Student dis look like a mini microscopic rino
- Student what is this
- Student do you know why some animals eat their mates
Bugscope Team probably because they are hungry and need the protein to be able to lay their eggs
- Teacher please let rubyboy drive
Bugscope Team they have control
- Student yo wat up
- Student wow that sounds cool
- Student what is the background is that vains in the back
Bugscope Team the background is double stick carbon tape

- Student Why do they stick to thingings
- Student What is this thing?
Bugscope Team this is the head of a larva of a ladybug



- Student why do they stick to things
Bugscope Team they can secrete this sticky juice that ants actually farm
- Student what am i lukin at
- Student what are the little things stickinq out
Bugscope Team those were palps, which are accessory mouthparts much like little arms that help the insect feed and taste its food


- Student what do spiders do with their claws
- Student what do they use there claws for
Bugscope Team they use their claws kind of the same way we use our hands


- Student how long is a spider claw in total
Bugscope Team we can see that this one is about 80 micrometers (80 microns) long.
- Student Are all spider claws hairy
Bugscope Team I think so. Spiders are very hairy, they use those hairs to shoot at other things to deter them, or to feel vibrations coming from their webs

- Student wat uis this

- 1:47pm
- Student is*
- Student what was that
- Student what is that
- Student What is this?
- Student So what is this picture?
Bugscope Team this is a moth's compound eye, up close]

- Student excuse me but what is this picture of?
Bugscope Team here we are looking at a few facets of the eye of a moth, and you could also see mold spores
- Teacher please let poloboy drive
Bugscope Team poloboy has control
- Student kiwi askin da same q's
- Student are those things eggs





- Student how many eyes are in a compund eye (on average)
Bugscope Team there may be 10 or so, or none at all, on an ant, and they may be a hundred on an ant. some insects can have several thousand

- Student what is this
- Bugscope Team the mag is now too high...
- Student what is this?
- Student hewhy is it to high
- Student so what are we looking at
- Student what do bugs eat
Bugscope Team they eat almost anything that is edible, and it depends of course on what kind of bug they are
- Student where are ladybugs mostly located at
- Student what so moths eat?


- Student Where else do coaco roaches live beside people houses
Bugscope Team they can live fine outside when it is not too cold


- Student So what is this?
Bugscope Team this is the edge of a moth compound eye
- Student what is this




- Student What is this?
- Student they look like lil fish eggs not a bug closeup
Bugscope Team yeah that is true

- Student is this part of a bug
- Student Oh, why does it look like that up close
- Student is thism the eye
- Student what is that in the ba
Bugscope Team the background has double stick carbon tape with some silverpaint that helps the insects stick to the sample stub
- Teacher please let jenna drive
Bugscope Team jenna has control
- Student what's
- Student ewwww is this a fly???
Bugscope Team this is a moth
- Student what's this picture?
- Student where did you study entomolgy
Bugscope Team I started at the University of Kansas and took a class called 'Insects and Man' from a famous entomogist. But mostly, now, we read about insects and ask questions.
- Student what is the difference in a moth and a butterfly
Bugscope Team the main difference are their antennae. Butterflies have a club at the end of their antennae, while moths have feathery looking antennae or just straight antennae but no club at the end


- 1:52pm
- Bugscope Team in the background we see silver paint and doublestick carbon tape
- Student what is the difference in a moth and a butterfly?
- Student ewwwww
- Student it looks like a birds feathers
- Student what is on the abdomen, it loks like little hairs

- Student i want to know why do bugs have little hairs on there body
Bugscope Team they have an exoskeleton, which is kind of like if you were wearing a suit of armor all of the time - like a shrimp shell. so they need those tiny hairs to project through the shell and allow them to sense what is touching them, or to smell it , or the gauge how hot or cold it is.

- Student it looks like hieroglyphs
- Student what is this/
Bugscope Team this is a single moth scale
- Student ?
- Student what i8s that
- Student why do you study bugs
- Student wat is this


- Student is that a bug
- Student what is this
- Student it looks like he is ready 2 fite
- Student What is the difference from a ant and a lady bug?
Bugscope Team ants are related to bees and wasps, and ladybugs are a kind of beetle
- Student it looks lke it is broken somehow
- Student why is this shaped like that
Bugscope Team most likely it dried that way, but it does look like it's in a fighting stance or something. They eat aphids and actually has a couple stuck to it
- Student yeah


- Student how strong is your microscope
Bugscope Team we can take the magnification up to more than 600,000x, but we get meaningful images at no more than 200,000x]
- Student What type of microscope is this?:
Bugscope Team you are using a scanning electron microscope
- Student do bugs have eyes
- Student dis is tough

- Student so it has its food stuck to it



- Student What is this?
Bugscope Team this is a leg on a spider
- Student Ok so what do ants and bees have incommon?
Bugscope Team they are both in the order hymenoptera. Same as wasps


- Student hary legs why
- Student das nice
- Student What are the things sticking out of the thing?
- Student that is so cool
- 1:57pm
- Student why do dey hav hairy legs

- Student i am very educated
Bugscope Team cool!
- Teacher please let hinda drive
Bugscope Team got it!
- Student ssshheeeeeeeeeeesh

- Student i
- Student ha


- Bugscope Team this is a silverfish, which has scales on its exoskeleton like moths, butterflies, and mosquitoes
- Student what are the


- Student sorry for there inconvience

- Bugscope Team oops and this, now, is a true bug
- Student what is a true bug
Bugscope Team it's an insect that uses its long proboscis (mouth part) to stab into other insects or plants to drink from them, and also also resembles a beetle
- Student what are you using to go close up on the bug
Bugscope Team we put the electron beam (actually you are doing it when you drive) in a small area, and it makes electrons from the coating on the sample come back from that small area. those secondary electrons give us the image we see
- Student this looks like astabbed bug
- Student why is there a hole?
- Student that is nasty
- Student y is there a big hole in the bug
- Student is that hole where they give birth

- Student what happened
- Student Oh ok. Why are ants under the colum of beetle?

- Student why is there such a big hole in the bug
Bugscope Team it was stuck with a pin and pinned on a board for a student's project, who later donated it to ys
- Teacher please let waviboy drive

- Student this is a spider's head
- Bugscope Team *us
- Student is that its fangs
- Student are there any vegetarian bugs
- Student is it a spider
Bugscope Team this is a spider yes
- Student ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
- Student what is this a picture of
- Student after a bug dies does the exoskeleton dry out and break or is it as hard as if it was alive\
Bugscope Team it gets more brittle, less flexible
- Student whyare bugs so hair
Bugscope Team the hairs help them sense their environment much like the nerve endings in our skin do, but they hairs (setae) can also, some of them, smell the air, or taste things, for example.
- Student Oh ok. Why are ants under the colum of beetle?
- Student hairy
- Student after a bug dies does its skin dry out
Bugscope Team insects have a hard exoskeleton, which when the insect dies and dries out keeps from shriveling up. That's why insects are so fun to look at using this microscope
- Student About how many different species of bugs are there?
- Student ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????//what is this ????????????????????
- Student >:)

- Student what is that
- 2:02pm
- Student wat is this
- Student is this sugar cubes for feeding the bugs
- Student :$
- Student are these sugar cubes
- Student how many elements are in salt
Bugscope Team two: sodium and chlorine
- Student what is wendy salt
- Student it looks like a rubics cube
- Student Do bugs have more hair than the human body?
Bugscope Team they seem to; I'm sure it depends on which bugs
- Student why does it look like that
- Student only NaCl
- Student are bugs handicap
- Student is there a special reason there are holes in the salt
Bugscope Team we think it is because there is some kind of anticaking agent added to the salt
- Student i love bugs
- Student Thanks
- Student why is it a cube
Bugscope Team the sodium and the chloride crystals form that shape naturally. compare that to sugar, which forms a more complex crystal
- Student About how many species of bugs are there?
Bugscope Team Estimates of the number of insect species in the world range from about 750,000 to one million.
- Teacher please let kiwistrawberry drive
- Student how many bugs does it take to change a light bulb
- Student why does salt have a whole in it
- Student can bugs eat salt

Bugscope Team they can be allergic, and they can get diseases
- Student this is so fun
- Student can bugs eat burger king
Bugscope Team heh. yeah

- Student are they fat

Bugscope Team the goliath beetle is one of the largest and heaviest, but some walking sticks are said to be perhaps 15 inches long

- Student can they drink soda in litle droplets
Bugscope Team yes!
- Student is there such a thinq as an overweight bug
- Student what is a the smallest bug
Bugscope Team the smallest is a fairyfly, which is actually a type of wasp with a very painful sting
- Student how many bugs can live in a single tree

- Student can a fly be yellow with black dots
Bugscope Team yes I'm sure there are some like that
- Student are insects mamals
Bugscope Team no they are invertebrates, meaning they do not have backbones, or any bones at all...
- Student I think it look like a crows foot :|
Bugscope Team it does look like a bird's foot
- Student why is this black and white
Bugscope Team the images we collect using the scanning electron microscope come to us as signal from 2ndary electrons, and there is no color.


- Student it looks like a bird's law
- Student can bugs be rich or like they get what they want
- Student how can an insect be a mammal
Bugscope Team they are not mammals, don't worry ;)
- Student humans+bugs=????????????
