- Bugscope Team ...
- Guest Hello!
- Guest hi
- Bugscope Team Hi!
- Bugscope Team Welcome to Bugscope!
- Guest hi
- Guest what is this?
Bugscope Team this is a super tiny walrus
- Guest Hello peoplez!
- Guest what is this anyway?
Bugscope Team it has eight eyes...
- Guest ssssss...
- Guest I am the first student!
Bugscope Team Congratulations, Niner
- Guest blah blah blah
- Guest BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Guest im not sure, is it a spider?
Bugscope Team um Yes
- Guest cool!
- Guest Super Tiny Walrus is what it says
Bugscope Team oh! someone was messing around
- Guest spider (:
- Guest i have a question what is that picture?
Bugscope Team the dome part is the top of the spider head
- Guest ant
- Guest wow that looks awesome. what is it?
- Guest thats reallyyyy itresting
- Guest What type of spider is that?
Bugscope Team it is a very small spider, maybe a house spider, hard to tell
- Guest What kind of spider is it?
Bugscope Team Niner we are not sure.
- Guest it is awesome
- 3:34pm
- Guest what part of the spider is this?
Bugscope Team this is the front of the cephalothorax
- Guest what are the bumbs
Bugscope Team those are the eyes!
- Guest the bumbs are eyes
- Guest Is this the spider's head
Bugscope Team yes
- Guest What are the fuzzy things on the legs?
- Guest is that really its color ?
Bugscope Team no the microscope collects images as signal, using electrons, which are smaller than color, so the images show up in greyscale -- in black and white
- Guest hair
- Guest the head
Bugscope Team with spiders the head and the thorax are one part
- Guest that looks like 8 eyes\
Bugscope Team it does
- Guest are the hairs sensors
Bugscope Team yes they are -- they are particularly vibration sensitive
- Guest no
- Guest how big is it
Bugscope Team it is less than a cm in diameter
- Guest oh ok thats nice to know also is that fur or something else? or hair?
- Guest it looks strangely creepy yet interesting. how big is it really?
- Guest Did you guys take these pictures?
- Guest it's small!!
- Guest buggggg
- Guest are the antennae on the sides of the head?
Bugscope Team no antennae on this spider
Bugscope Team those are palps which help it eat
- Guest this is a female spider, correct?
Bugscope Team I think it is because it has narrow pedipalps
- Guest it a sider
- Guest yes
- Guest Do spiders have mouths?
Bugscope Team they have fangs that both inject venom and suck up the insides of their prey like a milkshake
- Guest no me it is not
- Guest is the bottom right eye mutated?
Bugscope Team it does look that way but it's really 2 eyes mashed together
- Guest it's hard to imagine the body. it just looks way different up close.
- Student what kind of spider is it
Bugscope Team we are not sure so we call it a house spider; we are not very good with spider identification
- Guest spider sorry
- Guest is this spider alive right now or no?
Bugscope Team it is pretty much dead right now
- Guest 63
- Guest 63
- Guest its creepy but cool and asom
- Guest how far can you zoom it in?
Bugscope Team Creeper I just gave you control of the microscope
- Guest it says the spider's name in top right.
Bugscope Team haha Yeah!
- Guest 63x
- 3:39pm
- Guest oh wow that is sad i love spiders. and are there any alive right now?
Bugscope Team not in the microscope; that would be cruel
- Guest Are all spiders venomous?
Bugscope Team yes I am pretty sure they all are
Bugscope Team but they won't all kill you or harm you.
- Guest how long was it dead
Bugscope Team I think for a couple of months
- Guest What insects do spiders eat?
- Guest cool top right
- Student why are some of its eyes bigger than the rest
- Guest what is the stuff to the right of the spider?
- Guest so this house spider really 1mm or how big is it?
Bugscope Team more like inside of a centimeter
- Guest Domenic: what color is it really?
- Guest does the microscope um effect the spiders?
Bugscope Team at high mag we can burn it, in a way, with the electron beam
- Guest may i have cotrol of the micoscope
- Guest what is that things under his head?
- Guest why is it hairy its a spider
Bugscope Team hairs give the spider information about its surroundings, like temperature changes or are more sensitive to vibrations
- Guest wow poor spiders.
- Guest so is the house spider common here?
Bugscope Team very
- Guest is that an ant????
- Guest That can't be a baby rabbit.
- Student what is that
- Guest is thatan ant
Bugscope Team yes it is an ant on its back
- Guest im sorry but it looks kind of sad to see it dead
- Guest How does this microscope work ?
Bugscope Team the samples are in a vacuum chamber, and before we put them in we coated them with gold-palladium; with them in the chamber we beam electrons at them and get secondary electrons back that make up the images we see now
- Guest no its not its a babby spider emaly
- Guest Is it an ant?
Bugscope Team Got it!
- Guest poor ant
- Guest a spider
- Guest how big is the rabbit?
Bugscope Team you can see that it is about 2.5 mm long
- Guest it is not a rabbit!!!
- Guest what surface is it on
Bugscope Team it is on doublestick carbon tape
- Guest why does it say rabbit
- Guest what is this?
- Guest ahhhh there eggs
- Guest what is this?
- Guest I think all slides have to be dead.
Bugscope Team they're not exactly slides, though; this is live imaging -- you are controlling a $600,000 scanning electron microscope from your school
- Guest is there anyway for the fly to clean itself?
- Guest that ant looks pretty darn strange
- Guest Is that still an ant?
Bugscope Team this, now, is the compound eye of a housefly
- Guest or are they eggs
- Guest wait wait what are those like eggs?
Bugscope Team those are ommatidia
- 3:45pm
- Guest eye cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Guest It's an eye! Wow!
- Guest that is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!
- Guest awesome!
- Guest is that a bee hive
Bugscope Team they are hexagonal, but only because that is a perfect shape for stacking round things into a spherical shape
- Guest wait never mind hehe
Bugscope Team no problem -- the shape is the same
- Guest wow
- Guest fingernail!!!
Bugscope Team chitin
- Guest it looks like a finger
- Guest whoa. looks awesome. is it alive? if not, does it look different when it's alive?
- Guest the fly sees things as if through a kilidoscope.
- Guest SJ you rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bugscope Team Thank you, Steve.
- Guest Strange place for a mouth
- Guest your like, genius guys
- Guest how big is it
- Guest are u sure thats a flie?\
- Guest i mean that.
- Guest Is that what our hair is made from
Bugscope Team not quite
- Guest fly i meant
- Guest yes
- Guest Flies must see really strange.
Bugscope Team we think that they are able to process the images into a kind of panoramic view; compound eyes are very sensitive to changes in the visual field and can quickly track things that are moving
- Guest Whoa! Cricket claw!
- Guest is it broken
- Guest what is that a claw?
Bugscope Team yes it is, on the cricket
- Guest cricket claw
- Guest is it as sharp as it looks?
Bugscope Team yes but it is so small it would not be able to pierce your skin
- Guest Domenic: Does it hurt humans?
Bugscope Team not really
- Guest whats the hole?
Bugscope Team that is where the unguitractor is
- Guest is it really sharp
- Guest the joint
- Guest is this a claw
Bugscope Team yes it is!
- Guest i would be scared if it could pierce my skin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bugscope Team it would only be a little surface scratch
- Guest do crickets rub their back legs together to make noise?
- Guest what is a unguiractor?
Bugscope Team the unguitractor is a tendon-like thing that pulls and stretches to allow the cricket to open and close its claws
- Guest whats a unguitractor
- Guest yeah but i don't like surface scratches that much. but that's off topic. sorry\
- 3:50pm
- Guest the hole is where the joint is, making it easier to move.
Bugscope Team yes! the uinguitractor slides through that hole
- Guest ohh thanks sem
- Student what do they use it for?
Bugscope Team they use their claws kind of the same way we use our hands
- Guest Say, do the claws help make their unique noise?
- Guest bee head
- Guest What type of bee is that]
- Guest is that a bee head?
- Guest what is the uinguitractor
Bugscope Team it is a long thin fiber, like a tendon, that is connected to muscle, and it opens or closes the claw by releasing or by stretching taut
- Guest Head of a bee
- Guest what type of bee
- Guest Is it a drone?
- Guest or a bird
- Guest that looks like a rodent judging from its teeth
Bugscope Team those are called stipes
- Guest wahhh
- Guest Are the holes above the stipes nostrals?
- Bugscope Team bees have branched setae that help them collect pollen all over their bodies
- Guest whos niner
- Guest what do they do with stypes?
Bugscope Team I believe they protect the glossa -- the tongue
- Guest are those teeth?
Bugscope Team they're stipes
- Guest no
- Guest oops. sorry about the it comment. its a female
- Guest Are the holes above the stipes nostrals?
- Guest our those his teeth?
- Guest Domenic: What are the teeth like things?
Bugscope Team that is the glossa, which is like a tongue
- Guest it is a bee head
- Guest how small is a bee's tongue?
Bugscope Team it is perhaps 1.5 to 2 mm long
- Guest so this is a bee
Bugscope Team yes it is
- Guest ok
- Guest Do all bees sting?
Bugscope Team no. All the females have the capability to sting, but I know there are species in other countries that leave humans alone altogether
- Guest is it a
- Guest Are the holes above the stipes nostrals?
Bugscope Team those are places where the mandibles are not closed
- Guest is it a regular bee? like a honeybee?
Bugscope Team this is a honeybee
- 3:55pm
- Guest yes EVANATOROTHIRMYTHICAS
- Guest Domenic is my friend
- Student what are mandibles
- Guest do all bees like pollion?
Bugscope Team they like nectar; I am not sure if every bee species likes pollen
- Guest Domenic: Do insects live off oxygen?
Bugscope Team yes they do. They have little ports along their sides that are like nostrils to us
Bugscope Team yes they do, and water and food
- Guest are those nostrils??????
- Guest eww whats is a mandibles ???
- Guest mandibles
- Guest 106x magnified
- Guest Can bees be anosmic then?
- Guest is that its eye?
Bugscope Team no the eyes are like the compound eyes we have already seen examples of, but they are more hairy
- Guest what are mandibites
Bugscope Team mandibles are jaws
- Guest Domenic: What do bees eat?
- Guest its still hard to see that its a bee. i swear that looks like a rodent
- Guest Mandibles are jaws
- Guest Mandibles are jaws, right?
Bugscope Team yes they are. humans have a mandible and a maxilla
- Guest The eyes are on the side of it's head
Bugscope Team exactly
- Guest or nostroles
- Guest it kinda looks like a walrus
Bugscope Team haha
- Guest or a happy bever
Bugscope Team hahaha
- Guest 802x magnified
- Guest is that a claw or something else???
- Bugscope Team here you can see the tenent setae that help the fly cling to the ceiling
- Guest house fly claw
- Guest I never even knew flies had claws
Bugscope Team lots of insects have claws, but they are so small
- Guest its gona scrach us us
- Guest are the claws able to pierce the skin? probably no............... but.....................
Bugscope Team they would feel like you are rubbing against velcro at most
- Guest what is that semi-circle spike?
- Guest do flies use claws to eat
Bugscope Team this kind of fly uses its sponging mouthparts to dissolve and suck up food
- Guest claw
- Guest Cleaning them?
- Guest ya it does
- Student the middle looks like a venus flytrap
Bugscope Team that is the part with the tenent setae
- Guest clean what?
- Guest Why do flies rub their feet/ claws together?
Bugscope Team they are cleaning off their legs before they go to clean their antennae
- Guest Anosmic: It means no sense of smell, can bees be anosmic?
Bugscope Team no; they can smell
- Guest 732x magnified
- Guest Do you know what flies do when they rub their front legs together ???
Bugscope Team try to start fires?
- Guest its claws look deadly up close
- Guest why do flys rubb their feet
- Guest Domenic: what do the houseflies use their claws for?
Bugscope Team they use them in a way similar to the ways we use our hands
- Guest for grooming
- Guest How can flies fly so fast?
- 4:00pm
- Guest 2928x magnified
- Guest whats the tenent setae
Bugscope Team those are hairs that help the insect walk on vertical surfaces and sometimes even the ceiling
- Student whats the tenent setae
Bugscope Team they are sticky-tipped setae ('hairs') that help them cling to surfaces
- Guest what are the bumps?
- Guest ahhhhh
- Guest Not as sharp up close
- Guest i love bugs
- Guest What do flies eat?
Bugscope Team they like things that dissolve, at least this kind does
- Guest cool
- Guest really scot wait is that true?
Bugscope Team what did I say -- it is not true about starting fires
- Guest The claws must help the fly grip the surface where we will soon smack them.
Bugscope Team haha yeah
- Guest no
- Guest What do flies eat?
Bugscope Team anything. a lot prefer sweeter foods
- Guest do flies use claws for gripping? because that would seriously be hard
Bugscope Team they use them to grip small things
- Guest no scot no
- Guest Bacteria?
- Guest what is that
- Student whats the biggest type of fly
- Guest What are those tiny bead things?
- Guest what is this?
- Guest whats the biggest type of fly
Bugscope Team maybe one of the tachinid flies, not sure
- Bugscope Team can you let me drive for a sec?
- Guest I'm guessing it's pollen on a bee
- Guest those dots are bacteria? they're bigger than i thought.
- Guest 17920x magnified
- Guest yeah sure i guess
- Guest whats your favorite type of fly
- Guest 35840x magnified
- Guest are thos eggs or germs or dust????
Bugscope Team those are brochosomes. they are nanoparticles that only leafhoppers make
- Bugscope Team thanks, Creeper -- I am at the microscope controls
- Guest Brochosomes are produced by leafhoppers, am I correct?
Bugscope Team awesome yes!
- Guest this looks cool
- Bugscope Team these are usually 250 to 400 nm in diameter
- Guest so is a leafhopper like a cricket?
- Guest ASSASSIN!!! whos that?
- Guest i have no clue what you said can you reword that diffrenetly please
- Guest wouldn't this die really quickly or is this already dead?
- Guest what is a brochosome
- Guest how far can this thing magnify?!
Bugscope Team we can go higher, but for Bugscope we are limited, a bit, because we keep the microscope at a long working distance
- Guest ahhhh
- Guest i don't know
- Guest 17920x magnified
- Guest i am assassin
Bugscope Team you are self reflective
- Guest 35840x magnified
- 4:05pm
- Guest 4480x magnified
- Guest A brochosome is made by leafhoppers
Bugscope Team that is true. sometimes they are not round but oval
- Guest 560x magnified
- Guest thanks sem
- Guest Yeah. Brochosomes are intricately structured microscopic secretory granules produced by leafhoppers. (thanks Google)
- Bugscope Team Creeper as you go down in mag everyone gets an idea of how small the brochosomes really are
- Guest gbrddbfffffffffgb
- Guest so brochosomes are...
- Guest are those legs to a grasshopper?
- Guest what is going on
Bugscope Team we are looking at the beginning of the proboscis on the leafhopper. the proboscis is the mouthpart
- Guest vd
- Guest when it's zoomed out it looks like powder. who's me? that's a weird comment
- Guest whats mag
- Guest 560x magnified
- Guest is he pooping
Bugscope Team no but it is true that the brochosomes are said to come from the Malpighian Tubules
- Guest 140x magnifie
- Guest should this thing be green?
- Guest 70x magnifie
- Student bug bug bug
- Guest baww
- Guest ohhhhhh it is a grassshopper i think.'
- Guest what is that?
- Guest its on a bug, right?
- Guest That's a leafhopper.
- Guest hey do you have bee pictures too
- Guest So, this is a zoom in on it's "Mouth"?
Bugscope Team they are true bugs -- Hemiptera -- so they have piercing/sucking mouthparts
- Guest 38x is as far as it goes
- Guest that is very cool
- Guest is that a baby grasshopper?
Bugscope Team it is a leafhopper; they are often quite small
- Guest Leafhopper? Is that like a Katydid?
- Student is that a dead fly
- Guest he looks dead
Bugscope Team that is true
- Guest 38x is as far as it goes
Bugscope Team yes it is, kind of odd, huh?
- Guest improved ant head?
- Guest what the...
- Guest 302x magnified
- Guest Domenic: Can you zoom in all the way?
- Guest that looks like a head of something ......
- Guest What is the hole beneath the eye?
- Guest What type of ant is that?
- Guest ant head
- Guest is that a fungus on top of its head? no wonder it died\
- Guest is that his HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Guest yes
- Guest what are malpighian tubes
Bugscope Team they are sort of like kidneys but part of the excretory system, I think
- Guest Leafhopper? Is that like a Katydid?
- Guest it is so cool
- Guest it have big eyes
- Guest 76x magnified
- Guest 38x magnified
- Bugscope Team Cate the ant smasher
- Guest poor ant, he lost a leg
- 4:10pm
- Guest IT MERDER
- Guest awwwwwwwwww it looks sad. i know its an ant but still.
- Guest ):
- Guest where are we?
Bugscope Team we are on the right side of the stub, above the earwig
- Guest yes
- Guest YOU KILLED IT AHHH
- Guest okay! who's steve?!
- Guest what is the stub?
- Guest Are those multiple ants?
Bugscope Team yes they are so very small it is hard to put them cleanly on the stub when we make the Bugscope sample
- Guest 152x magnifie
- Guest you should say it is murderd, and you spelled murder wrong
- Guest Leafhopper? Is that like a Katydid?
Bugscope Team no a katydid is more closely related to the grasshopper. The leafhopper is more closely related to the cicada.
- Student why are their legs detached
Bugscope Team because Cate is so fierce and smashed them
- Guest yep he's DEAD
- Guest what does an ant do if it loses all its legs?
Bugscope Team rolls
- Guest What is the hole beneath the eye?
Bugscope Team actually I think that is the antenna base
- Guest cate smased the ant!!!!!!!!!!!!! poor ant at least it is in a good place now.
Bugscope Team haha. i smashed it gently with a paintbrush. they are tiny
- Bugscope Team there is a tiny hole in the front of the face called an anterior tentorial pit
- Guest poor ant
- Guest are all the legs from 1 ant?
Bugscope Team no an assortment
- Guest in winter what does an ant colloney do?
- Guest but you still smashed it. is it a fire ant or a black ant?
- Guest everything looks stranger up close. is it infrared light that makes the difference?
Bugscope Team the images from the electron microscope are odd -- what looks like a shadow is not a shadow the way we normally think of them'
- Guest he has HAIRY legs gross
- Bugscope Team i think they were just black ants
- Guest so are fire ants always hostile?
- Guest where did you get the insects from
- Guest mite colony
- Guest If a paintbrush can smash them, then why do they perform such amazing tasks like holding multiple times their body weight?
Bugscope Team when they die their bodies decay and are much weaker although they look intact
- Guest that's gross but strangely cool
- Guest its water rite
- Guest good to know good to know and what is that thing???
- Guest Domenic: Admin, Can you zoom in all the way?
- Guest nuke! cockroachs live.
- Guest is mite short for termite?
Bugscope Team mites are arachnids, like spiders
- Guest no TAYLOR + BEKAH
- Guest are those spikes?
Bugscope Team yes
- 4:15pm
- Guest its mouth looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Bugscope Team I am sorry the mite colony has a lot of juju on it
- Guest it's fine
- Guest really
Bugscope Team they are tiny bristles
- Guest 252x magnified
- Guest im not sure what words to use to describe this...
- Guest ohhhh they are thats cool!!!
- Guest Disturbing is one word
- Guest What is juju?
Bugscope Team it is what we call the unrecognizable fluids and bits of debris
- Guest please
- Guest 1008x magnified
- Guest Domenic: How do you change the controller?
- Guest 9400x magnified
- Guest Bristle up close?
- Guest Scale of a Moth
- Guest 1175x magnified
- Guest can ants swim? or drown?
Bugscope Team most likely drown unless they can get out of the water soon enough
- Guest moth scale
- Guest that is cool
- Guest I never knew moths had scales
- Guest can any insect swim? or no?
- Bugscope Team this is the moth wing
- Guest ';p'
- Guest yes
- Guest I thought they were furry
- Guest if moths have scales... what do they use them for?
- Guest do butterflies have scales like moths?
Bugscope Team yes they look very similar
- Guest MOTHS HAVE SCALES
Bugscope Team yes, also silverfish, butterflies, mosquitoes, some weevils, and few other insects
- Guest X
- Guest yno
- Guest Are the moth scales on the common moth that we see roaming around our porchlight?
- Guest oops sorry
- Guest is that wood?
Bugscope Team these are the individual scales
- Guest ttwasn't us .
- Guest Why are moths so squishy when you try to kill them?
- Guest because it really looks like it it does.
- Guest sorry ME
- Guest so are the scales used for protection or something?
Bugscope Team one thing scales do is help protect insects that have them from getting caught in spiderwebs
- Guest Is that an exposed part of the moth?
- Guest what is that
- Guest Are the moth scales on the common moth that we see roaming around our porchlight?
Bugscope Team yes they have them as well
- 4:20pm
- Guest 1175x magnified
- Guest typo,that wasn't use
- Student what are those
- Guest are those fethers
Bugscope Team they function in a way like feathers
- Guest its fine but thanks for answeing my question
- Guest that's part of a housefly!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????
- Guest sponging mouthparts?
- Guest This is the mouth
- Guest mouthparts? looks like a arch with spikes
- Guest SPIKY
- Guest is there any diffrent between female and male insects?
Bugscope Team yes. sometimes we cannot tell from outside
- Guest what are the spikes made of?
- Guest "Sponging" what exactley does it mean by that?
- Guest is that DNA?
- Guest no
- Guest sponging mouthparts?
- Bugscope Team Assassin with flies, the females' eyes are often far apart, whereas the males' eyes are close together
- Guest what part of the mouth is this??
Bugscope Team the main part that laps up the liquids
- Guest DNA is a little small
Bugscope Team much smaller than we can see with this 'scope unless it is in a bundle
- Guest it looks dead.
- Student what do they use those for
Bugscope Team the mouthparts? to suck up foods as liquid
- Student cool
- Guest it is furry
- Guest What exactlet does it mean by "Sponging"?
Bugscope Team they kind of sop up food that has taken a liquid form
- Guest DNA can't change size!
Bugscope Team but you can collect it as a kind of bundle of a lot of DNA at once
- Guest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Guest are the mothparts unique in any way?
Bugscope Team some flies have mouthparts like this, and some have slashing/cutting mouthparts
- Guest moth head
- Guest cooool
- Guest what if dna is mutated?
Bugscope Team it depends when, of course, and how badly it is mutated
- Guest where is it zooming in at?
- Guest what happens if you fuse two DNA life forms together?
- Guest Does it have a probiscus?
- Guest are those horns on the moth's head
- Bugscope Team Cate I have a tour...
- Bugscope Team BRB
- Guest what is around the head
- Guest what are the bumps that look like bubble wrap
- Guest weird background...
- 4:25pm
- Guest what are the things nest to it?
- Student what is that
Bugscope Team the main thing in the middle is a tiny moth. the rest is carbon tape. carbon tape often looks like a lot of bubbles
- Guest i mean next
- Guest reply?
- Guest it looks like feathers
- Guest TAYLOR+BEKAH that other picture the thing did not have horns
- Guest This is all interesting, and suprising how different bugs look up close
- Guest Is that a probiscus?
Bugscope Team we may have been able to see the proboscis. I'm not sure
- Guest whats an earwig?
Bugscope Team they are those beetle insects that have pincers at the end of its abdomen
- Guest is that a beetle
- Guest i like this picture
- Guest it kind of looks like a crab...
- Guest So many madibles
Bugscope Team it have one set of mandibles and 2 sets of palps, which are mouthparts used to taste or move around food
- Guest cassie,sara,emma it is an earwig
- Guest could we see a misceto?
Bugscope Team there are no mosquitos on the sample set today
- Guest ok
- Guest i knew that befor i just wanted those people to answe it for me
- Guest cate or sv. how do i give someone else control?
Bugscope Team let us know who you want to have control given to and we can do it
- Guest why are there pincers on the back?
- Bugscope Team I am back...
- Guest what is an earwig?
Bugscope Team they have pincer tails and like damp and dark places
- Student are those eggs
Bugscope Team those are ommatidia -- the eye facets
- Guest EVANATOROTHIRMYTHICAS
Bugscope Team they have control
- Guest that is a lys eye. well eyes
- Guest why does so much stuff look like that
- Student cool
- Guest i meant fly
- 4:30pm
- Guest whats an ommatidia?
Bugscope Team that is what the eye facets are called; singular is ommatidium
- Bugscope Team hamuli
- Guest what is this?
- Guest what is that
- Guest Fasten your seatbelts, Evanatorothirmythicas is driving.
- Guest ha ha hamuli
