6:30pm
Student WoW

Student what is that hair needed?

Student ㅇㅅㅇ

Student yamade

Student is that something like hair of spider?
Bugscope Team those hairs, or 'setae,' definitely belong to the spider

Student What are the dots?

Student Stripes?

Student What is that hole?

Guest Entomologist the hairs on the spider sense its environment, specifically air movements so that it can detect prey and predators

Student why is that hair needed?
Bugscope Team insects and comparable arthropods don't have skin with nerve endings in it -- they have a kind of shell. which is the exoskeleton. so they use those setae to sense their environment

Student It looks like wood
Student What is that thing on the hair?
Student there are things that look like spikes
Student cool

Guest Entomologist they do so by sensing the changes in frequencies
Student What tdoes the hair do? Does it keep the bug warm?
Bugscope Team in some cases it does -- it can help with thermoregulation
Student What is this part?
Student These look like human hair

Student I was trying to type gizmo
Student hair?
Student why are there something like saw tooth?

Student Is that like the spike in the hari?
Bugscope Team yes!

Student yew
Student This is Chadwick International

Student Hi
Student oㅅo

Teacher Please give Jaeho Kim control
Student look weird

Student If the spider doesn't have the hair does it mean that they couldn't sense something?
Bugscope Team yes it would be difficult. they also sometimes have urticating hairs that they let loose that get into the nostrils of a nosy dog, for example, to discourage it from bothering them.
Student what is that
Student yeah very weird
Student Does it have 4 eyes?
Student If the spider doesn't have the hair does it mean that they couldn't sense something? sjyes it would be difficult. they also sometimes have urticating hairs that they let loose that get into the nostrils of a nosy dog, for example, to discourage it from bothering them.
Student How many eyes do spider has??
Student HUH?
Student where's teeth
Student Why does it need many eyes?
Student Does the hairs for catching their prey?
Bugscope Team the hairs help them sense vibration
Student Why do they have so many eyes?

Student The eyes look like a ball
Guest Entomologist yea the hairs can help the spider catch its prey, in that other than with its eyes, the hairs help the spider locate its prey
Student ewhh
Student Why does spider have so many eyes?
Bugscope Team it's a means of seeing as far around the head -- the cephalothorax -- as possible

Student lobster
6:35pm
Student What is this animal?
Student What is that round thing
Student Why does spider have so many eyes?

Student oh
Student Could we zoom out?
Bugscope Team you can a bit more
Student Jae ho can we zoom out?
Guest Entomologist that's a good question, spiders are secondarily visual hunters, the hairs are most important for its senses.
Student How can we figure out what the juju is?

6:40pm
Student How Mantis eats?
Student Why is the fur on the teeth kind of thing?
Bugscope Team that is a palp, which is used to help taste prospective food
Student Why do they hve hairs even in their mouth?
Student Why are their mouth so complicated?
Guest Entomologist palp is an appendage near the mouth usually used for sensing and feeding.
Student what is it?
Student Are the two gabs are for pull the prey inside the mouth?
Student What are the palp for?

Student Why are the insects eye hexagon?
Student so many juju
Student Hexagon again

Student Juju- junks, dust
Student How can they see with this hexagons? I don't think those are transparent
Student Why there are some bumps on eyes?

Student juju- things you can't recognize

Student there are bumps in the eye ;;
Student What is this?

Student HAIR
Student What are those hairs?
Student Is that fur?

Student What are the bumps?
Bugscope Team they must come from something underneath, maybe something that happened after the PM died
Student fish

Student What are those hairs?
Bugscope Team they help the PM sense things that are touching it, and they also help the PM sense if it is moving some of its own body parts

Student What is PM???
Bugscope Team praying mantis
Student What are thay some black dots?
Student what is that black things?
Student Are we inside a mouth?

Student they have hair
Student Are those hairs using for same as spider's hairs?
Student Why is it so dirty and hairy?
Student Why they have hairs on their mouth?
Bugscope Team it helps to filter out juju so they don't eat the wrong thing, and they are also likely sensory
Student what does it eat?
Student Are we inside a mouth?
Student What are dark parts on mandibles?
Student What are those furs for?
Student What are those furs for?

Student O.K
Student How fast can it eat with that mouth???
Student This looks like buldog
Guest Entomologist dragonflies are also not poisonous
Student high
Guest Entomologist hmm if stewie is a dragonfly, then its niche is most likely near a source of water it preys upon other insects, both as an aquatic nymph and as an adult
Bugscope Team Stewie is a praying mantis, but this now is a dragonfly
Student Why there are some wrinkles on the mouth?

Student What are mandibles?
Student mandibles are mouth
Student The is that stinking thing?
Student What is this part?

Student Ah
Student ???
Student What is this?
Student What is this??
Student butterfly wing
Student This is cool
6:51pm

Guest Entomologist oh sry, my mistake. praying mantises live in a variety of places, some even feed on small vertebrates like lizards birds and rodents
Student Butterfly wing
Student what are those?
Student I looks like leaves.
Student What is that small things?
Student wow this is cool!!

Teacher Be patient, students. There is only one of SJ to go around.
Bugscope Team Joe is also helping, and he is from the entomology department
Student It looks like sea shells on a beach.
Student show me the money
Student It looks like duck's feet stuck on the wing or the leaves stuck in the wing
Student they are fur right?
Student I reminds me of house roof

Student black sheep wall

Student Is is stripes on the chip kind of things??
Student I think this is the why butterflies scatter around their pouders when they fly
Student Can we zoom in?
Student What is the role of the small pieces
Student What are those lines?
Student dksrnwjdghk

Student What is the role of the small pieces?
Student dkwrnwjdghk
Student As we get close, this reminds me of a person's fingertip.
Student why do they have stripes on it?

Student Why is there blank spot?
Bugscope Team scales fall of easily, and that helps when a butterfly flies into a spider web -- it may be able to slip out and leave its scales
Student What is that dust on the wing??

Student Why does the butterfly wing have scales?
Student Why is there strip in the wing?
Guest Entomologist the stripes you see are microstructure on the scales, that gives the wings their colours
Student EW
Student I can see blank spots
Student What are those holes?

Student It is so detailed
Student spider web
Guest Entomologist the colour given off depends on the way light interacts with it
Student this is like a fiber
Student What is the role of small pieces?
Bugscope Team they help the butterfly escape from spider webs, they produce color, and they function kind of like feathers do in a bird

Student It looks like a complicated ladder.
Student It looks there are many chambers in the wing
Student LOL
Student wow ~ looks like tile
Student How can it fly if there is holes in the wings??
Student OMG
Student why are the holes in the wing?
Student What is this thing? Why do you want whole in your wing?

Bugscope Team scales also help with thermoregulation -- keeping the insect the right temperature

Student Is that string like things are sticky?
Student Like a spider web?
Student hihihii
Student Why are those holes in the wings
Bugscope Team the holes may hold pigment granules, and the general shape of the holes and ridges can also produce structural colors

Student are they sticky?
Student ㅓㅕㅓㅕ
Guest Entomologist no the scales are made of chitin, what the insect's body is also made of
Student juju

Student Inside the wings, is that juju?
Bugscope Team some of it is pigment, producing color

Student some holes are closed
Student juju

Bugscope Team there can be color from pigment or from the dimensions of the ridges in the scales
Student their structure is pretty smart

Student What are those black part?
Student What are those parts inside these lines/
Bugscope Team if you see small round things, those may be pigment granules

6:56pm
Student Can we look other things?

Student What is the part between the wings?
Bugscope Team I am not sure -- I think it is the carbon tape we use to stick the specimens down
Student Is their fur on the wing?
Bugscope Team not really fur, but sometimes there are setae
Teacher Please give control to Young eun

Student can anybody do dragon fly wing next time?

Student In some part of the wing, the holes are covered. Why?
Bugscope Team that may be the way they grew; they are so small

Student spikes
Student what are those pointy things?
Student Why does it have spines?
Student What is the sharp spikes?
Student What is those spinal thing?
Student Is that the spike on the shpe?

Student Why is there spikes?
Student what are those spikes?
Student Why are there spikes?

Student Is that scratches?
Student It looks like ice rinks
Student Also, wha is the scratched things on the shape??
Student Can we zoom in?
Student What are some scratches on the wing??
Student Not a perfect hexagon..

Student What is that pointy things?
Bugscope Team they are bristles or spines on the wing veins
Student Why are there spikes?

Student I like it

Student Doesn't dragonfly has holes on it?
Bugscope Team not in the wings, but they are transparent
Student I think the shapes are different.
Student broken spikes? why are they broken?

Student Is that dust or juju??

Student Can we zoom in?

Student Are thsoe small white things juju?
Bugscope Team I think we are seeing very fine features on the surface of the chitin that the wing is made of
Student It looks like broken branch

Student Wow what is the spikes made of ?
Bugscope Team they are made of chitin as well
Student what is that scratch and long stick thing?

Student So that way is veins why do they need veins in wing?
Bugscope Team they may hold hemolymph, which is what we call the 'blood' of an insect

Student It looks like a volcano!
Student what is that
Student ?
Student It looks like mountains

Student What is it?
Student That's like volcano
Student oh beach

Student elephant
Student goò êłêphāńt

Student What are the things sticking on the stripes?

Student it's got lots of bumps
Bugscope Team true bugs (Hemiptera) have piercing/sucking mouthparts

Student kind of look like rotten carrot
Student why those are not smooth?
Student This part reminds me of elephant nose
Bugscope Team it is quite like one, and it is also called the same thing -- a proboscis
Student hêłp
Student What are those bumps?
Student Do true bugs make sounds?
Bugscope Team some of them do, like cicadas

Student Can we go to the antennae of the bug?

Student is that bone? why are there wholes on it?
Student ś
Student What is this part?
Student DO they have how many of eyes?

Student Is this that the mouth?

Guest Entomologist no, those holes look more likely to be sensory rather than for breathing
Student It looks like face.

7:11pm
Student What are those wholes?

Student Why does it have so long nose?
Bugscope Team weevils are sometimes called 'snout beetles'
Student Is the tip of long nose moving??
Student What is that thing looks like cutting food?
Bugscope Team that is the part that it chews with
Student What are these..

Student do they suck foods through the nose/mouth
Bugscope Team I believe so

Student WHy are there furs??

Guest Entomologist this is actually their mouth, they use it to cut up seeds, twigs whatever, to make a notch to lay eggs in the substrate

Student Could we zoom out?
Bugscope Team whoever is driving can do that
Student why are there furs on antena?

Student Why are the furs on antena so~ long?
Student What are those connected parts?

Student Are those senses well developed?

Student Wow............
Student keratin??

Student or juju?
Student why are there strips on the anten?
Student What are the more detailed things on the hair?

Student Why do they have stripes?

Student Is strips sense things??
Teacher Do those stripes help increase the surface area for better sensing?
Student And what is that plum-looking part?

Teacher Please give control to Eunah Jung

Student What are these stripes?
Bugscope Team those are ridges in the setae that make them more stiff; some are chemosensory, some are mechanosensory, and some are thermosensory

Student oops my bad
Student It looks slimy...
Student Jimmy........OMG
Student Why is it so complicated?

Student what did I do?
Student What is that(part with holes)?
Student hook worm
Student Crazy~

Student That looks like baby

Student what is in that hole?
Guest Entomologist yes they have an exoskeleton

Student Can we go inside?
Student what is inside the hole?
Student Is their skin hard?
Bugscope Team it's like a shrimp shell

Guest Entomologist the hairs or setae used to come out of these holes, most likely the setae fell out/broke off from transport, or just other damage
Student platyhelminthes
Student phylum platyhelminthes
Student phylum playthementhis
Student platehelmenthes
Student Phylum of PlanariaPhylum of PlanariaPhylum of PlanariaPhylum of PlanariaPhylum of PlanariaPhylum of PlanariaPhylum of Planaria

Teacher Please give control to DongMin

Guest Entomologist flatworms?
Student ah zz

Student .......................
Bugscope Team we see only in black and white because we are using electrons rather than light to collect images, and the electrons that give us the images show up as signal, in grayscale

Student :(
Student oh rope
Student stripes
Student What is this strip?
Student :)
Student ppplanaria
Bugscope Team some of the people we work with here study planaria

Student Wow we did lab about planaria a week ago
Student Stripes are for what?
Bugscope Team the stripes often give certain setae a little more flexibility and strength
Student sea water that on the beach

Student CHADWICK SPIDER!
Student similar

Student '

Student < it is so blurry >

Student Could we zoom out? The screen is kind of blurry.

Student More focus

Student It looks like a paper plane!
Student it looks like leaves

Student See Usage None Grey Boom Usage Might not appropriate
Student It looks really sharp!
Student Many scales seams to be gone
Student reminds me of leaves again!
Student '

Student Why moth's wing looks triangle?

Student It looks like duck pedal
Student stripe??

Bugscope Team when you stroke a butterfly wing and the fine powder comes off, the powder is scales like this
Student it looks like surfing boards
Bugscope Team yes!
Student bamboo

Student It looks a bit like triangle

Student How can the wings be broken easily?
Bugscope Team if the scales come off easily, when the moth flies into a spider web it can save itself
Student ohlll

Student I never thought that a moth is artistic!
Bugscope Team haha Yeah!

Student rmfpspdlem
Student It is very clean compare to other bug
Student oop

Student I learned butterfly has geometric shape on the wing
Student Insect' s scales were really cool
Student Iliked it
Student either
Student neithe
Student Thank you for answering our questions.!!
Student Thank you for answering our questions.!!
Student I learned insects uses there hair to sense things
Student BB
Student The most interesting part was the pattern of moth and butterfly. Also, butterfly wings are very interesting to me too! This was my first experience to observe organism in eletronic, and I think its really cool!
Student b
Student I learned that a lot of insect's cells have hexagon shapes today and Thank you for replying
Student I learned that hair is for the sense and insect do not have teeth. Thank you.
Student I learnt how the wings are like!!
Student I think every bugs were interesting Thank You!!!
Student I learned about the hexagons shapes in the insects!
Student I learned how bugs' body look like and I really liked it

Student Thank you for answer the question
Bugscope Team Thank You, Minjae!

Bugscope Team scales are considered modified setae as well
Bugscope Team so Mr Miller do we have another class coming in to work with us?

7:42pm

Bugscope Team Hi Sharon!
Bugscope Team Sharon where are you?
Bugscope Team where are you from?

Bugscope Team this is one of the weevil's claws

Teacher Kids are coming in now. Getting them logged on.
Bugscope Team Mr M what's this about Ms Crew?

Student What is that line's?
Bugscope Team we are looking at the ridges on the weevil claw, and a lot of dirt
7:47pm
Bugscope Team probably plant material
Bugscope Team Sharon this connection is with a school in South Korea.
Teacher Haha. She is my wife and she works here at Chadwick teaching 7th grade also (Math) The kids have here too and she came in to check out the session. They made a joke.
Bugscope Team awesome, so they were really being sweet
Student Wow...This is cool...
Bugscope Team Hi Leo Koo!
Bugscope Team we are looking at a single claw
Bugscope Team the micron bar reads 50 microns, or 50 micrometers
Student Great....
Student This is awesome..
Bugscope Team bacteria are about 2 microns long usually

Teacher Please give control to Leo Koo. Thanks.
Bugscope Team Leo Koo is the supreme commander
Bugscope Team so anyway if there were bacteria here we would see them

Student This is so cool!!!

Student WOW
Bugscope Team now we're looking at just a few of thousands of scales on a butterfly wing

Student Awesome

Student This is awesome!!!
Student oh

Bugscope Team some of the scales have fallen off

7:52pm
Student Yes..I can see that..

Student I've never seen these. This is so cool
Student I didn't know that the wings would have some scales like flower petals
Student True bug's Head s great
Student Hello, I'm Terry !!
Bugscope Team Hi Terry!
Student Yes...

Student It's cool !!
Student Hi
Student Awesome
Student This is awesome

Student Wow
Bugscope Team the scales that look very bright are charging up with electrons
Student Yes it is
Student dd
Student The butterfly wings are like flower petals
Student They have electrons?
Bugscope Team so we want to look at the darker ones up close
Student Hi~~ nice to meet you!!
Student Yeh...
Student Dah
Student Reminds me of roof tile
Bugscope Team yes! exactly!

Student reminds me flower petal

Student Hi
Student looks like a roof tile
Student Hmm.. I wonder what this is..
Student What is that?
Student This is SO~~ COOL!~~~~

Student why is the picture in black and white?
Bugscope Team we are using electrons rather than light to image the samples, and electrons are very small. what we get from the sample is signal, in grayscale, so there is no color
Student It looks like tree bark

Student It reminds me of a roof top and a flower petal
Bugscope Team yes!
Student Wow!! that's so cool!
Student Wow
Student Wow @!
Student WOW..
Student I thought there was a word on it
Student looks like a net

Student they look like a net
Student great
Student Wow ^^
Bugscope Team I am sitting at the microscope, so I can tweak the focus by hand from here
Student Wow!! so cool

Student what is the thing sticking in there?
Student It looks like a net..
Student What is this?

Student this looks like a net
Student Does those holes affect the animal to fly?

Student It looks like a net
Student Holes
Student There is a hole
Student THIS IS AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!! 2

Student So many holes
Student Why are there holes?
Bugscope Team they make the wing lighter in weight, and they also help it produce the colors we see
Student Incredible
Student Why do butterfly wings have holes in their wing?

Student Lagging !!
Student What is sticking there?

Student So butterfly's wing is full of holes?
Student it looks like window pane

Student or prisons
Student but why are there holes?
Bugscope Team they are super tiny holes. a scale is kind of like a feather, like a bird's feather, and those are kind of holey as well

Student Omg
Student ew

Student Holes getting bigger
Student OMG~~!!!!
7:57pm

Student what are the holes made from?
Student wow

Student This is kinda...... freaky. thinking that it full of holes
Bugscope Team this is now too high to focus properly -- the electrons are charging up the sample

Student lol
Student Scot is having a hard time replying to us lol
Bugscope Team that is correct!
Student 144908!!!

Student fuzzy
Student how big is that hole?

Student How does the pattern of the holes made?
Bugscope Team they form when the scale develops

Student Record: 144927x
Student I think there is a fur !!
Student I can't focus it...

Student that is very fuzzy to see;;
Bugscope Team this should be better, dude

Student getting bigger
Student too blurry
Student Is something on the hole?
Student It looks like a skeloton!
Student Now see a bunch of holes
Student This is better than blurry pics.
Student guys stop sending
Student I like this

Student Wow, what are these grey structures?
Student why are there holes in the butterfly wings?
Bugscope Team they keep the scales from being heavy; these are on the wings, not in the wings

Student Joshua stop asking the same question
Teacher Please give control Joshua Han
Student I like how they look like a prison cell
Student wow +_+
Student (why are there holes in the butterfly wings?) asking same question ㅡㅡ
Student What is the differnces between moth wing and butterfly wing?

Student Wow
Student wow>_< It looks like a beach
Student wow
Student Wow
Student Tree roots?
Student Starfish?
Student Wow its like a plant...
Student it looks like plant
Student Why the hole is not same size?
Bugscope Team they are close to the same size -- there are tens of thousands of scales on a single wing

Student Are these like hair or tree roots?
Bugscope Team this is the antenna of a male moth

Student Cool ~
Student Uh... I lost the command
Bugscope Team Dude I gave it to Joshua
Student What is the root looking this for?
Student What is that? Is there dust??
Student What are those scale shaped on the surface of the antenna?

Student What is the hair sticking out?
Bugscope Team they are kind of like hairs, and they're called 'setae'
Student So, is it like antennas on top of antennas..?
Student This is currently near the moth antenna-awesome
Student It looks like sea plants
Bugscope Team yes it does
Student Scot where are you from?
Student It looks very sharp
Student ew
Student EWWW...
Student it looks very disgusting
Student Spider mouth
Student I thought spider has only few fangs
Student Why are antennas so furry?
Bugscope Team they help pick up chemical scents in the air
Student Oh my god!! Does it brush his teeth? lol
Student Why does it have crumbs in it's mouth?
8:02pm
Student It's pretty dirty it has some things on the mouth....
Student Are those small fangs or teeth?
Student It's dirty !!
Student so messy ㅡㅡ
Student How many fangs does a spider have?
Bugscope Team two fangs, and lots of toothlike elements that help hold the prey while it bites
Student Gross
Student Why are the spiders fang crisscrossed?
Student it looks as if it has dirt on it
Student do they eat preys with those fangs or do they paralyze or poison them with poison?
Student ㅇ
Student What are those sharp dager like structures?
Bugscope Team those are what help the spider hold its prey while it penetrates it with its fangs and injects venom

Student Are the sharp things are the spiders' teeth???
Student Scot where are you from?
Student What are those fur-looking thingys in the head
Bugscope Team they're called plumose setae
Student What is this leaf looking thing?
Student what does it do???
Student So is plumose setae like antenna?
Student OMG
Student ^^ !!@~

Student What are does big things that are behind it's teeth?
Student That was error
Student Um...... getting grosser and grosser
Student No private conversations sorry
Student Oh my gosh...
Student Looks like big trunk

Student Wow
Student ^^
Student are those food or something
Bugscope Team it is really hard to tell, even for me, and I do this often
Student So what's a spider's favorite diet? Since it needs all those fangs and venom.
Student Whats are those moss like things?
Student What are does leafy kind of things?
Student those look like bacterias;;
Student The spider should brush it's teeth
Student It doen't look very oranized...

Student is just cool
Student ㅡㅡ
Student ㅡㅡ
Student ㅇㅅㅇ wow!
Student junks are looking bigger now
Student wow
Student OMG can you guys stop that ㅡㅡ this is not about making emoticons
Student wow2

Teacher Please give Dohun Lee control
Teacher Could you tell us what the setae do?
Bugscope Team some are chemosensory -- for tasting or smelling; some are mechanosensory, like cat or rat whiskers, and they can also sense wind; and some are thermosensory, for sensing hot/cold
Student What are these?
8:07pm
Student = =

Student I want to control !!

Student >----
Student What kind of bugs do spiders like this one eat?
Bugscope Team they like anything they can catch except things like Monarch butterflies, which taste bad
Student they have eyes, but can they see through the eyes?
Student How do you know so well about these?
Student Thermosensory? What's that?
Student ^-^ \
Student What is the teeth made of?
Student No emotion !!
Student How can we know that if this spider is poisonous or not by looking at this?
Bugscope Team we can't tell if it is poisonous to us or not, unless we know its pattern'
Student stop typing emoticons

Student Why don't the spiders catch Monarch butterflies?
Bugscope Team Dohun has control now.
Student What are does straw looking things?
Student How do they eat food?
Bugscope Team they suck it up as a liquid

Student Does the moth antenna have fur, Chaos?
Student Oh
Student This looks furry

Student A little freaky
Student I think it is kind of furry
Student What is the furry things??
Student that looks like a pea plant from jack and the huge pea plant
Student Those line looks like noodle
Student They suck up the nutrients in the liquid form huh?
Student what does it do? The furry things do?
Student It is very cool
Student Agreed..
Student hi
Student They catch the food with the fangs I guess..
Bugscope Team and they hold it with those toothlike elements while they bite it
Student It looks like tube
Student Very slippery noodle
Student looks...weird
Student Noodles..... haha
Student What are these 'noodles' for?
Bugscope Team those are likely chemosensory setae
Student What is inside of tube??

Student I wish I could touch those things..
Student What is the role of the furry things next to the straw looking things?

Student What are the furs for?
Student Where are these noodles going in?

Student It looks like it's connected

Student Looks like carpet
Student What is the fur looking thing?

Bugscope Team moths and lots of other insects can smell very weak scents in the air. sometimes they sense pheromomes, which are like perfume
Student Wow its spiky now

Student OMG I have a phobia of this;;;;;
Student what those the fur do?

Student It looks like rubber
Student the fur looks like spikes
Student What is that?
Student How are these shapes created?

Student Why are there so many of these things?
Student Why are they not smooth?
Student What are these?
Student are those little finger things to sense
Student ?
Student Huh? It's co

Student It's cool
8:12pm

Student What does the fur do?
Bugscope Team this is the fine structure of the antenna, and I imagine that it helps pick up very weak scents in the air
Student Do those help them to sense things? Do those help them sense things? Do those help them sense things?
Bugscope Team yes!
Student Hi Cate
Student Microseate??
Student Do those help them sense things?
Bugscope Team Yes either touch or chemical things like smell or temperature
Student what if the moth's antennaes are pulled? what would happen Scot?
Student HI!!
Student There are big noodles on top of thousands of tiny noodles..
Bugscope Team The bigger noodles are the big fronds you can see on the antenna. The smaller ones are microsetae (small hairs)

Student Hi! Dr.Cate~~

Student HI CATE!
Student What does the carrot do?? Next to the finger looking thingies??
Student Ew
Student What is this part?
Student Do butterflies have antennas like this too?
Bugscope Team the males often have ornate antennae in moths, but butterfly antennae are not so fancy

Student That looks like human arm
Student it looks like human arm
Student Hello Dr.Cate
Student What does the carrot do????
Teacher Hey Dr. Cate, nice to see you again.
Bugscope Team Hello!
Student Hello Cate~ nice to meet you

Bugscope Team oh wow we are so high it's no wonder we cannot see anything
Student What is the difference between the attenna of the moth to the atenna of the butterfly?
Student Cool ~
Student it looks like carrots buried deep into the ground
Teacher Please give Terry77 control
Bugscope Team got it!
Student wow............

Student It looks like the alligator's teeths

Student How many bugs do they eat everyday?
Student Sharp teeth they are

Student What are does fur on the leg??
Student It looks like teeth
Bugscope Team Those teeth are spines that help hold the praying mantises food
Student I never thought It was that sharp
Student what are those furry things?
Student It looks like crab hand2

Student how do you compare male to female?
Bugscope Team it depends on what we are talking about. sometimes they look exactly the same. in flies, sometimes the male eyes are close together and those of the females are far apart. in spiders, sometimes the females are huge and the males are quite small. in moths, the males are often the ones with ornate antennae'

Student Something is on these furry things
Student wow

Student looks sharp.....

Student Why are there cracks on one of the spikes?
Student They are all broken up....TT
Student It looks like it's going to break someday the sharp things
Student They are sharp!!! I heard that they kill each other once they finish mating..Why do they? I can't understand why the wives are killing their husbands....
Bugscope Team it's because they are hungry
Student It looks like its crumbling down.
Student Does the bug gets holes when the mantis catches its prey???
Bugscope Team Bug exoskeletons can be pretty tough but those sharp spines might help with cracking them open
Student ah..... thanks scot!!!!^^
Student Looks very sharp
Student Spikes are starting to fall off
8:17pm

Student LOL
Student IT's black
Student Wow I'm blown away by what mother nature can do.
Student It returned

Student Let's go to weevil!!!

Student Why the shape looks like it little bit teared off?
Bugscope Team it is brokne, a bit

Student Wow.... why is it kinda furry?
Student Wow there are little wings inside!!

Student I once read a book, that when praying mantises reproduct, the female eats the male. Is that true scot? Why?
Bugscope Team sometimes that happens; the female just gets hungry and wants food for her young
Student It looks dirty...

Student Very
Teacher Please give Irene control

Bugscope Team easily...
Student Why the structure is not flat??
Student how sharp is the claw?
Bugscope Team really it is just sharp enough so it does not get stuck or break easilt
Bugscope Team got it
Student What are all those things on the claw?
Student That looks like a half circle
Student *smooth
Student Juju!!
Student Where does the juju come from?
Student chris just...
Student They are from different parts of insects
Student Same here
Student I agree with Hyeseong
Student Or some other dusts from somewhere over the rainbow I guess
Student 1````1111
Student Chris park, slow down !!
Student Does weevils climb up human skin?
Bugscope Team they can but they don't really care for humans; they mostly like grains
Student What's juju?
Student Scot is having hard time responding !!
Bugscope Team that is right, I am sorry

Student What is the part that is cutted?
Student What is the thing in the middle?
Student yeh...
Student The palp?
Student What is that broken piece of block in the middle?

Student Whats a palp?
Bugscope Team It's a mouth part hat helps with tasting or moving food around
8:23pm
Student Oh~~
Student This look like a tree...
Student Is there limiting factor for bugs?
Student It looks like the surface of the moon...
Student What's that white lines??
Student Somethng like tongues, eh?
Student What does the palp surface have a bunch of bumps?
Bugscope Team the bumps are often like tastebuds on your tongue
Student That looks bumpy

Student Why are their many holes on the surface?

Student it is
Student Why is it cut?
Student Are they something like feelers?
Bugscope Team yes they are food feelers that help the insect taste and also move its food into its mouth

Student what is that??
Bugscope Team like a lotus
Student What does flower things do?
Student It looks like a bananas....
Student That looks like flower patels
Student Why is it cut
Bugscope Team I'm not sure what it was. But when insects die they dry out which tends to lead to body parts falling off easily
Student It looks like Lotus flower
Student i HATE lotus
Bugscope Team sorry Dude
Teacher Please give control to Eugene Hwang
Student What is that long straw in front of that leaf thing?
Bugscope Team It does look like a lotus or bananas
Bugscope Team I believe these are sensory setae on the praying mantis's palp
Student ha ha chris
Student Yeh
Student I like lotuslol >_
Student Don't write nonsense !!
Student Are they something like setae again?
Bugscope Team Yes just different kinds
Student this is cool

Student Wow...... What are thoes

Bugscope Team close! it is wood
Student It looks like a cactus!!>_
8:28pm
Student are those really fiber?
Student NOw really looking like a wood
Student What is this?

Student It looks strange.. How can their body do something in this dirty situation?
Bugscope Team Irene this is a wooden stick
Student It looks very bumpy...
Student Please, people..Let's not type unnecessary things...
Student It is cellulose fibers !!
Bugscope Team so we are looking at cellulose fibers
Student Exactly
Student this look like a wood

Bugscope Team Cellulose is pretty much any plant material
Student golf ball
Bugscope Team whoa big compound eye
Student wow
Student golf ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Student Wow
Student It looks like golf ball !!
Student Golf ball
Student Golf ball
Student IT looks like a ball
Student It looks like golf ball
Student Those have shapes
Student A golf ball!
Student egg!
Student why is it so big? what does the balloon do?
Bugscope Team the round thing with the hole in it is an antenna
Student golfball
Student And that straw looking thing?? What is it?
Bugscope Team Here is a big compound eye
Student It's plumpy
Student What is that golf ball looking thing?
Bugscope Team one of the praying mantis's eyes
Student Why are there those pattern?

Student What's that tube?
Student What is that pipe thing?
Student How can those hexagons help them?
Student What does that tube do??
Student That is one HUGE EYE BALLS!!!!!
Student wow so messy eye

Student It is a hexagon!!!>_<
Student a tile
Student it's crazy how they fit together~!!!!!!!!!!!
Student Beehives

Student Hexagons!
Student Those little hexagons help them to see in many angles, right?
Student Its like a beehive..!!!
Student Very good pattern, looks good
Student How can be the shape same??
Bugscope Team it is a kind of naturally derived shape

Student How are they so perfect??
Student How does nature make this perfection?
Student Math invovled everywhere
Student These are so perfect just fit right together...!

Student how many vision can the mentis see...?
Student What are does white sprays on the eye??
Bugscope Team some kind of juju
Student Because it should be Terry
Student is that white thing juju again?

Student there is no gaps.
Teacher Please give control to Yusuf
Bugscope Team got it!
Student NATURE POWER~!!!!!!
Student what happens if the shape doesn't match?
Student Ms.Crew is excited because of the hexagons..
Bugscope Team is Ms Crew here now?
Student YES!!
Student yeah ms crew is here
Bugscope Team Hexagons fit together so well for round things which is why beehives and this compound eye have them. That way they can maximize the number of lenses it has or in the case of the beehive- compartments
Student It would be funny if it wasn't hexagon, but instead TRIANGLES!!!!!!!!!!
Student yeh
Student This doens't look like an eye now.
Bugscope Team in real life sometimes you can see into the hexagons

Project Title	Comparative study of insects and arachnids by anatomy and habitat type.
Insects To Study	Dragon flies, spiders, robber flies, grasshoppers, butterflies, wasps
Project Description	Hey Bugscope friends. This is Aaron Miller, long-time user and advocate, now located outside of Seoul, South Korea. I'm still teaching 7th grade science in an international school with an American style curriculum to mostly Korean students. It's been quite an adventure and I've only been here 4 weeks! I would love to continue using Bugscope for students to develop questions about insect and arachnid comparative anatomy and function along with comparisons of insects among a range of habitats. We will be collecting insects throughout the year for a long-term ecological monitoring program we will be implementing around the local area. Therefore, I am flexible about the timing of the session. The climate is actually similar to Illinois so this is a very productive time but we will have preserved specimens for use throughout the year. I would love for all 4 of my classes to participate. We have a 70 minute block period on Wednesday (2 classes) and Thursday (the other 2 classes). Looking at your map of historic sessions I see that none have been in Korea. Let's change that. I know this may be a pain in the butt for you with the 14 hour time difference now and a 15 hour difference after you go on daylight savings time. The times for you wouldn't be too crazy but would mean staying late (for example, my 10:55-12:05PM class would be 9-10PM for you before daylight savings time and 8-9PM for you after). I see that you have done other sessions in China, Australia, etc. in the region which is the only reason I'm bugging you (no pun intended). Let me know if you are interested. We are a very high tech school with a 1-1 laptop program and a very fast internet connection (100mb/s) so I know we would have a very productive session. The kids here don't get outside too much but love learning and oddly enough many love catching insects so I know they would be into it. Thank you for your time, Aaron
