Student boy or girl
Student thats so cool
Student Does it smell bad???

Student nice ant
Guest heyy let the scientist talk!
Student how much legs does it have
Guest sheesh

Student it looks hairy
Student do they have hair???
Student Is it fun to be a scientist?
Bugscope Team it is super fun because we get to work with lots of people who are doing research, right at the cutting edge
Student that
Student yummy
Student how much legs does it have?

Student what is the pointy thing

Guest that sounds fun!
Student Good i wouldnt want you to get hur ive gotten stung before and it hurts!!!

Student can you tell me were you might this bug?
Student what are so other things you look at
Student can it hurt people
Bugscope Team Cate and I train grad students, mostly, to use microscopes, including the one you are using today, to conduct their research
Guest i didt know ants sting!
Bugscope Team the hairs are there to help the insect sense what is going on around it. It can't feel things through its exoskeleton, like we can with our skin.
Guest wowwww
Student is it fun being a sientist or no
Student do you like bugs???
Student whats that thing at the top
Student or re they yucky???
Student that image in the middle looks like a spine is it?
Student is it alive

Bugscope Team it is totally cool. of course things break and their are sometimes problems, but we are lucky to have this cool stuff to work with
Student why would they sting a person
Bugscope Team to defend itself or its colony
Student buuuggggggsssss
Student is it alive

Student this is weard

Student this is sssssooooo awsome
Student sounds cool

Bugscope Team in some cases, with some samples, you can see something
Guest :(
Student I used to think it was a spider
Student hello????
Guest what do germs look like?
Bugscope Team bacteria can be around 2 microns big and are usually rod shaped. That is what e coli looks like. We don't always see bacteria on insects. Viruses are even smaller in the nanometer range and are very hard to see with this microscope
Student is it bad to eat a bug
Student (:
Student do red ants bite?
Student Is that hair
Student Do you like writing to kids?
Student are those hairs feelers?
Bugscope Team yes and some also smell the air, and some sense hot/cold

Bugscope Team the TEM, and also the AFM -- atomic force microscope
Student is it ponty
Student OMGG
Student do you ever get hurt when your looking at a posin bug?
Student pinchy pinchy pinchy
Student how many legs does a scorpion have??
Guest once a bee stung me and i was just standing there! i thought they only stung when you bothered them.
Student why do they sting
Bugscope Team they sting when they feed threatened or if you get too close to their hive. They should leave you alone (unless you have food) if you leave them alone

Student One time I got stung on the tongue!
Student is it bad to eat a bug
Student do they eat cheese?
Student scot, what does the TEM and AFM go up to, times wise
Bugscope Team you can see things at the atomic scale, so in Angstroms, which are a tenth the size of nanometers
Student this is preety cool
Student thats awesome
Student does the hair hurt if you touch it?
Bugscope Team no, they just feel a little rough usually. Not very soft. Maybe almost like a brillo pad

Student are they vegitarians
Student Conor stop saying OMG we are asking science questions!!!
Student are bigger scorpians worsethan little scorpians??????
Student thats cool scot

Bugscope Team Thank you, Sophie!
Student Can I have contorl 4 a while please???
Student are small scorpians worse than big ones????
Student When you are looking at germs under the micropscope do you ever get sick?
Bugscope Team we usually look at fixed cells when using electron microscopes. But if someone brings in something like live e. coli you have to be careful to wear gloves and not touch the sample
Guest oooo thts a cool pic!
Student did you ever eat a bug
Student thats a cool picture
Student do do do

10:15am
Student Can moths lose skin???
Bugscope Team they lose scales, for example when they fly into a spider web. but that helps them escape. they don't really have skin like we do

Student ooh yummy yummy

Student woooaaahhh

Student is it a living thind?

Student This picture looks kind of like a spider covered covered in spider web
Student What are those swirly lines???
Bugscope Team that is the carbon tape. it sometimes has little designs that it makes
Student LOL

Student do bees or wasps sometimes leave their stingers underneath the skin

Student it looks like a tornado

Student there is alot of fat
Student thats grose

Bugscope Team the campus goes through 2 cities. We are actually in the Urbana part

Student what are those cracks]
Guest why does the tape have lines on it?
Student O ok it must be really big!!!
Student what is the hair for
Student looks like a plant
Student A re any of the bugs you inspect dangerous?
Bugscope Team sometimes we look at scorpions, and sometimes bedbugs, which are hugely annoying more than dangerous
Student Do you like playing with bugs Scot???
Student Do you inspect any poisonous Bugs?
Student what larva is this
Student can you explain what this is?
Student is it dead
Student how do you get all these pictures and samples of bugs
Bugscope Team well we are getting pictures as we look at the insects. You are seeing live images as you control the microscope. The insects we either find ourselves, or someone else sends them to us
Student those r just broken lines
Student what is the hair for
Student thats so cool how do you find these bugs
Bugscope Team after doing this for awhile people have started bringing them to us
Student So do, bedbugs ever escape and annoy you!
