- Bugscope Team Thank You!
- Bugscope Team Hello! Welcome to Bugscope!
- Bugscope Team let us know when you have questions about what you're seeing or how things work
- Bugscope Team Hello Frank!
- Bugscope Team the classes have just changed, and we have a new group of students
- Guest Hello
- Bugscope Team hellp kharper
- Student hello!!
Bugscope Team Hello KHarper!
- 11:42am
- Guest Hola
- Guest Are the fuzzy things hair???
Bugscope Team yes they are! We are looking at a few segments of a wasp antenna
- Bugscope Team presently we are looking at a wasp's antenna
- Guest Thatnk you r poland
- Guest We are looking at the antenna.
- Bugscope Team there are a variety of sensory setae on the surface of the antenna
- Guest what
- Guest Ewwww its eye
- Guest That is cool!
- Bugscope Team they look like hair but we are supposed to call them 'setae,' which is pronounced see-tee
- Bugscope Team you can see the compound eye to the left there
- Bugscope Team and one of the legs beneath the antenna
- Guest Yes the scientific name is Setae.
- Guest Are these hair
Bugscope Team the hairs serve different purposes. Since they don't have skin like we do, it's harder for them to feel things. The hairs are connected to nerves underneath the exoskeletons, allowing the wasp to sense things, taste/smell, feel changes in temerature, etc
- Guest ewwww look at the eye
- Bugscope Team you can also see the edge of one of its mandibles -- one of its jaws
- Student idk
- Guest what are thoses dots to the left of the eye
Bugscope Team those are setae (hairs) that are just showing up brighter
- Guest tis looks really fluffy
- Guest how big is the eye
Bugscope Team if you compare it to the micron bar, below, you can see that it is about a millimeter or less in diameter
- Guest what is that are the mandibles seperated
- Guest What are the things that look like holes by the eyes?
- Guest This is cool that you can see te mandibles!
Bugscope Team they open from side to side like a gate, unlike our mandibles
- Student oh my gosh that eye is giant
- Guest I lllllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you Clara Ann
- Bugscope Team here you can see the crossed forelimbs
- Guest that eye is really big
- Guest are those the wings in the background?
- Student i dont know?!?!?! :)
- Guest Is there a scientific name for the parts of the legs?
Bugscope Team the final several segments are called tarsi; the other segments have names you'd recognize, like femur
- 11:47am
- Guest No I think you are looking at the mandibles SSINGH.
- Guest I don't know what a good question :p lol
- Guest What are the flaps on it's mouth?
- Guest i think its like that
- Guest dig?
- Guest yea baylee tat wuz my wuestion thank-u
- Guest wats under his mouth
Bugscope Team those are palps-- they help taste/move food. They kind of look like the wasp is eating something else
- Guest To be able to see the head of a wasp is great.
- Student what do its claws do?
Bugscope Team the claws help the wasp grasp things, similar to how our hands work for us
- Student idk what that is under the mouth
- Guest what is that under its mouth
Bugscope Team the tongue, or proboscis, plus four palps that help the wasp taste and manipulate its food
- Guest i meant queston not wuestion
- Guest are the claws dor defending itself or to tear and dig?
- Guest for not dor
- Guest why do they have curves on there legs
Bugscope Team I'm not sure I understand -- you mean why are the legs curved?
- Guest hi
- Guest do they even have tighs
- Guest hi taryn
- Guest What is on the abdomen on the wasp?
- Guest ya
- Guest how big are the wings
Bugscope Team the wings on a larger wasp like this may be more than a centimeter long
- Student hi
Bugscope Team Hi TK!

- Guest what are at the bottom
- Guest What are the things on its leg that look like knees
Bugscope Team those are where the leg segments are connected by a ball and socket joint- like our knees
- Student soorry some girl put 1
- Bugscope Team the portion of the leg nearest the body is sometimes called a condyle
- Guest did taryn put 1
- Guest they are so flexible
- Student yes i did
- Student HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Guest cool y r u some girl to him
- Bugscope Team wasps and bees have four wings, whereas flies have two
- Student who knows
- Guest This is cool that we get to look at all these bugs.
- Bugscope Team when wasps and bees fly, however, they hook the fore- and hindwings together
- Guest watare we looking a

- Guest What is a halteres?
- Guest is the hair stuff setae?
Bugscope Team yes and microsetae, which I believe do not connect to nerves
