- 4:00pm
- Bugscope Team sample is almost pumped down
- Bugscope Team we're starting setup a bit early
- 4:14pm
- 4:19pm
- Bugscope Team now we're making presets for today's session
- 4:26pm
- 4:32pm
- 4:40pm
- Bugscope Team hello Mr M!
- Teacher Good Morning!
- Teacher Or good evening in Illinois
- Bugscope Team yeah you could say Hello Yesterday
- Teacher How does it feel to be living in the past?
- Bugscope Team we're fine with it
- Teacher Great session yesterday. Kids were blown away
- Bugscope Team awesome
- 4:45pm
- Teacher Kids will be logging on in about 25 minutes after our homeroom class.
- Teacher So Scot, you and SEM are the same, right? The microscope is logged in as well. Some kids thought the SEM was a person :)
- Bugscope Team big pastry
- Bugscope Team yeah I am Scot and SEM and sj
- Bugscope Team SEM when I am sitting at the scanning electron microscope, Scot at the other computer in the SEM room, and sj in my office, in case the phone rings, if I hear it
- Teacher Haha. Ok. Wow talk about multi tasking
- Teacher Killer mold spore!
- Bugscope Team yeah it looks like a pollen grain but sometimes they do
- Bugscope Team it is with a bunch of fungal hyphae on that beetle leg
- 4:50pm
- Teacher I love he new interface. Especially, the labeled presets and the descriptive references to the size of items in the microscope viewer
- 4:56pm
- Bugscope Team not sure; it was disembodied
- Teacher Looks like a suction cup on top of that antennae!
Bugscope Team that is where the next section would have been, pretty sure
- Bugscope Team what family of beetle is this?
Bugscope Team it's a fur beetle, from Iceland
- Teacher A student brought it in from Malaysia even though I asked to collect bugs from Korea. The striped elytron is from the same beetle.
- Bugscope Team okay cool
- Bugscope Team that's crazy
- Bugscope Team that's the antennae?
- Bugscope Team yeah Joe this is all we have plus part of the elytra, which was striped
- Bugscope Team the elytron actually has these same fine fat setae on it
- 5:01pm
- Bugscope Team whoa, does it look the same as other dermestids? (assuming you've seen them under sem)
- Teacher Nice. Thanks for your help yesterday Joe. The kids loved it.
Bugscope Team No problem. It's fun.
- Bugscope Team ah. still really cool. beetles are so diverse. did I ever send you those made ship timber beetles with the crazy mouth parts?
Bugscope Team we have some critters in ethanol from you we haven't had time to CPD yet
Bugscope Team ah. yea the males have these crazy palps that are super-modified. it's something used in mating.
- Teacher I could send you a photo. I have the main body of it sitting here (minus the parts you have) :)
- 5:06pm
- 5:15pm
- Bugscope Team Hello Jiny, Emily, Subin, Lina, and Eugene
- Bugscope Team Hello Amy!
- Bugscope Team Hello!
- Bugscope Team hello SoCalStoker!
- Student Hi!!
- Student Hi!!
- Student Hi!
- Teacher Kids finally logging in
- Bugscope Team Welcome to Bugscope!
- Guest Hi!
- Student yes we kind of started late
- Student hi
- Student lol
- Teacher Please give control to Emily, please
Bugscope Team got it
Bugscope Team emily has it\
- Bugscope Team this is the head of the dragonfly; foreground is some setae on the side of the face, and in the background you see the eye
- Bugscope Team then the mantis wing, now part of a super radical beetle antenna
- Student coool
- Student Hello
Bugscope Team Hi Paul!
- Student Hey :)
Bugscope Team Hey Daisy!
- Student Hi
Bugscope Team Hello S!
- Student .
- Bugscope Team now we see where the tip is likely busted off
- Student Hi everyone!
- Student Hello :)
- Student Fun~
- 5:20pm
- Bugscope Team Hello Everyone!
- Bugscope Team I don't think we've ever seen an antenna quite like this
- Student AWESOME :D :D :D
- Bugscope Team the background here is the carbon tape the samples are mounted on
- Bugscope Team yea, that's definitely pretty unique
- Student OOH-
- Student how does bugs reproduce???
- Student :)
- Student kk
- Student What is a 'carbon tape'?
Bugscope Team it is doublestick tape with carbon on the surface
Bugscope Team we use it to mount samples on so they stick well
- Student How does bugs reproduce (have babys)
Bugscope Team usually they lay eggs
- Teacher What are all those hairs for?
Bugscope Team well, my best guess would be to have increased surface area for chemical sensing.
- Student creepy shape ...:(
- Student It's kind of creepy.
- Student wow it looks like a group of bushes... what are those for?
Bugscope Team they are likely sensory, and perhaps chemosensory
Bugscope Team um as Joe said
- Student HOLA
Bugscope Team haha Hola NewBrian!
- 5:25pm
- Student HELLO
- Student hello!
- Student Oh, maybe not...
- Bugscope Team now we can see that the setae -- the hairs -- are striated
- Student WHERE IS THIS PICTURE FROM?
- Student molds
- Student is that dust on the strand of the antenna??
Bugscope Team yes it is!
- Student wierd
- Student they look like lice
- Student Haris on top of Hairs???
Bugscope Team well, more hairs on top of an appendage. The antennae are more like an appendage than hair.
- Student things on the hairs look like modls
Bugscope Team there are some pretty nice looking mold spores on these samples
- Student what is µm ?
- Student How much do you earn every day?
- Student I think it is some bacteria that kills other inscets ^^
- Student What does the 'bacterium' in the scale bar?
- Student Why are the hairs structured like that? I can see that they have curved surfaces?...
- Teacher Please give Eugene Sung control
- Student WHAT IS THAT MYSTERY SUBSTANCE?
Bugscope Team juju
- Student Oh
- Student what is does little clumps on???
- Student Why there are durit on the hair?
Bugscope Team the insect did not have a chance to get cleaned up before it died
- Student What is this?!
- Student Why do bugs need antennas?
Bugscope Team they use them for sensory functions. Mostly sensing volatile chemicals like pheromones, or smells from plants/food source.
Bugscope Team they also use it in contact sensing, ants use their antennae to sense whether another ant is a nest mate or not.
- Student what is that hexagon?
- Student How much do you earn
- Student this looks like a ball (eye)
- Student Hairs are coming out of a black hole.....?
- Student are those hexagons eyes....?
Bugscope Team yes they are -- they are individual facets of the eye, called ommatidia
- Student Do you like your job?
Bugscope Team yes I do
- Student I can see the hexagon! what is that?
Bugscope Team those hexagons are units that make up the compound eye. they're called ommatidia.
- Student I think this is part of the head between eyes
Bugscope Team yes it is Olivia, thanks
- Student Why there aren't many hairs?
Bugscope Team the hairs help tell the insect what is going on around it. They give them feedback like sense of touch or smell/taste. Their exoskeleton isn't has sensitive as our skin is
- Student Is that eyes?
- Student there are black spots on the head
- Student Your welcome
- Student I love bugs I go oh yeah when I look at it!!!
- Student it looks very scratchy
- 5:30pm
- Student There are lots of JUJU
- Bugscope Team you can see some desiccated mold spores on the shaft of the seta
- Student What's that berry looking things attached to the hair?
- Student I agree
- Student GROSS>>
- Student DO YOU HAVE A CERTAIN SOCCER CLUB THAT YOU SUPPORT?
- Student Is the round-ish thing we see right now juju too?
- Student how big is the juju
- Student the skin of the head section has curved surface?... Why is that?
- Student It looks ike a branch...
Bugscope Team that is the hair and the little gross balls are mold spores
Bugscope Team and there is some dirt as well
- Student Why does bug need a hair?
Bugscope Team they need it because they do not have skin -- it projects through the cuticle and helps them sense their environment
- Student What's that pod-ish thingie in the background?
- Student What is that kind of dirt ?
- Student What is the job of JUJU
Bugscope Team to be in a place that they don't belong. Juju doesn't have a job. It's just what we call dust or dirt or other particles that aren't part of the insect
- Student Why did people choose to call unrecognizable stuff "JUJU"??
Bugscope Team it was easy; in Korean you have a similar word
- Student it looks like tundra
Bugscope Team haha Yeah!
- Student what is that hole?
Bugscope Team that is the pore that the hair pokes through. Underneath the exoskeleton the hair is connect to nerves to give the insect feedback
- Student ahh I see
- Student Wow
- Student "it was easy; in Korean you have a similar word" reply: whats the world call?
- Student What are those rectangular dark bits around the hairs?
Bugscope Team some of those appear to be small crystals of some kind of salt
- Student Why hexagons?
- Student that's a eye!
- Student Wow, it looks like eye.
- Student Oh may god!! Really?
- Student How does salt get on the bug?
- Student Why are the compound eyes consisted of hexagons? not pentagons?...
- Student Is it eyes?
- Student What is the niche of the dragonfly?
- Student Where does this bug live?
Bugscope Team it is a dragonfly, so they live all over the world
Bugscope Team and since their nymphal forms are aquatic, probably somewhere near fresh water.
- Student I can't see the picture well.. It's blurry
- Student Why are those eyes shaped as hexagons?
Bugscope Team that shape is seen quite often because it is the best shape for things that are essentially round to close-pack into a 3D structure like a dome
- Student did u guys watch seussical the musical???
Bugscope Team I missed it
- Teacher Please give KChung2018 control
Bugscope Team got it
- 5:35pm
- Student Excuse me, but How much do you guys earn per year?
- Bugscope Team there is a Korean word that sounds like gigi
- Student What are those lines?
- Student why is it so flat?
- Student Why is the eye damaged?
- Student what are those scratches?
- Student What is that scraches?
- Student why is it
- Teacher Please give KChung2018 control
- Student what is this bug? too blurry and not moving and zooming in
Bugscope Team this now is close up on the eye of the stag beetle, which must have been the size of an ocean liner
- Student What is that
- Student what is this?
- Student Why is the scratch on the eye?
Bugscope Team fighting with other beetle-type dudes
- Student Oh lol
- Student Daisy :) - Think we zoomed into the hexagon... not sure
- Student Are we directly on the eye? Why are there no hexagon shapes appearing?
Bugscope Team it has some sort of protective film on it
- Student Are those hairs that loks like a scratch?
Bugscope Team those are reall scratches
- Student Are those dust
- Student desert
- Student Can scratch on their harm its eyes or protect its eyes?
- Student So is there the hexagon shapes underneath this protective film?
- Student it looks like a land where the ground cracked :)
Bugscope Team yes it does
- Student Are those JUJUs?
Bugscope Team looks like there is some juju on it yeah
- Student I guess their eyesights are bad.. This beetle has too much damages
- Student on its eye
- Student COol
- Student What are the differences between bugs cells and animals cells?
- Student why does the eye have a protective film on it?
Bugscope Team they can't easily protect it and their eyes won't heal like ours do.
- Student That's cool
- Student It looks like that it has a beard
- Student This is the back of the head I think
- Student gross....
- Student How can the scratches on its eye harm them?
- Student What a big eye!
- Student I think that is an the bottom
Bugscope Team if you were to drive south, you would see the mouth -- the mandibles
- Student Where is the eye part?
Bugscope Team the outer portion we see now is all eye
- 5:40pm
- Student very weird
- Student Thins dragonfly has lots of hairs yuck!
- Student Is that furry part the mouth of the dragonfly?
Bugscope Team that is further south
- Student Is thier eyesight in color?
Bugscope Team they can see colour, but i think they can't see red? but they can see UV.
- Student interesting
- Student is that black thing mouth?
Bugscope Team no the mouth is further down on the head
- Student Why there are a bunch of thread in its mouth?
- Bugscope Team there is the mouth
- Student ...which part is the mouth?
Bugscope Team you're looking at the dragonfly from below the "chin"
Bugscope Team oops, i meant from the front.
- Bugscope Team we are getting some lag because we have such a large group on today. but it seems to be working alright
- Student Why is their fur near the mouth?
Bugscope Team it's most likely mechanosensory- like sense of touch
- Bugscope Team The eyes are those two gigantic domes in the back with the tiny tiny hexagon shapes
- Bugscope Team Dragonflies have excellent vision, as they are diurnal (day active), and are visual hunters.
- Student there are two things sticking out on each side of the head
Bugscope Team the eyes
Bugscope Team the eyes
- Student How does the dragonfly eat?
- Student My account is lagging
Bugscope Team yeah, sorry
- Student How does the dragonfly eat?
Bugscope Team you can see its mandibles, almost at the bottom
- Student Thank you Joe:)
- Student What is that rectangle structure right bottom of the eye?
Bugscope Team which part?
- Student is these balls (Eye) and is it damaged?
Bugscope Team the big round things on either side of the head are compound eyes and they have little scratches on them but aren't very badly damaged
- Student Does dragonfly have nose?
Bugscope Team no it does not; it smells with the chemosensory setae -- the things that look like hair
- 5:45pm
- Student The dragonfly's mouth looks like human's mouth
- Student What are those furs on the mouth part for?
Bugscope Team for hor/cold sensing, taste, and touch
- Bugscope Team sorry hot/cold -- thermosensing
- Student Why do they need hair around their mouth?
Bugscope Team the hairs there are probably gustatory (helps them with tasting), and possibly mechnosensory as well, (sensing movements, wind speed/directional changes, etc..)
- Student Why are there three layers of what-I-think-is-mouth?
Bugscope Team insect mouths are quite complicated; when you see them eating, all of those parts move up and down and sideways
- Student there are white hair as well as black ones
Bugscope Team they may be black in real life -- we are using electrons to collect these images, so there is no real color
- Teacher Please give control to Daekyu
Bugscope Team got it
- Student What are those little holes all over its mouth?
- Student The dragonfly's mouth looks like human's mouth
Bugscope Team maybe it that person had a mustach and instead of their mouth moving up and down, it moved side to side
- Bugscope Team this is one of the mandibles
- Student that looks like a cave
- Student Is there special reasons in on the mouth par?
Bugscope Team Olivia I am sorry I don't quite understand
- Student where is the reproductive system of the bug I want to knowk'."
- Student What are those little holes on the surface of the mouth?
Bugscope Team those holes might be where there used to be hairs (setae)? not really sure.
- Student where is the reproductive system of the bug I want to knowk'."
Bugscope Team Dude it is at the other end
- 5:50pm
- Student This is Mr. Miller. Can you give control to Daekyu please?
- Bugscope Team dragonflies mate in the air, and they have to be careful so their heads don't fall off
- Bugscope Team Daekyu has control. There is a lot of lag because so many people are on.
- Student where is the reproductive system of the bug I want to know
Bugscope Team it is not in this area; it is at the back of the abdomen
- Bugscope Team Dragonflies have a pretty unique mating system. The males and females form what is known as a mating wheel. The males use clasps at the end of the abdomen to grasp females by the thorax (their neck), and the females curl their abdomen around so that it meets the male's thorax underside, where the male sexual organs are.
Bugscope Team *accessory organs
- Student where is the reproductive system of the bug I want to know
- Student where is the reproductive system of the bug I want to know
- Bugscope Team that is how you get deleted
- Student How much is this microscope?
Bugscope Team it cost about $600,000 in 1998
- Bugscope Team they cost about the same now
- Student Dirty cave
- Student What is that circle thing?
Bugscope Team is a mold spore
- 5:56pm
- Bugscope Team once insects die, mold moves in quickly and starts to decay it
- Bugscope Team now you can see some of the fungal hyphae
- Student Hello, I can chat.
Bugscope Team Hello!
- Bugscope Team this is a friendly little praying mantis
- Student oh
- Student This section looks like a soft cushion! What are those holes on the surface for?
- Bugscope Team see the mandibles?
- 6:01pm
- Teacher we are all disconnected here
- Student The internet is disconnected for most of the people
- Bugscope Team the connection should be back now
- Bugscope Team I killed the server for a second
- Student the dragonfly's face is wide.
- Bugscope Team we have more than 40 people on and usually have problems with more than 25 or so
- Student the dragonfly's face is wide.
- Student the dragonfly's face is wide.
- Student the dragonfly's face is wide.
- Student the dragonfly's face is wide.
- Bugscope Team Hi Stella!
- Student Hi
- Student I am connected
- 6:06pm
- Student connected!
- Student Hi
- Student Connection is back!
- Bugscope Team totally cool
- Bugscope Team we were doing well with so many people, but that may be why we were getting that big lag -- I'm sorry
- Bugscope Team this is a closeup on the mandibles of the praying mantis
- Bugscope Team Paul Nam has control now
- Student Yay!! I'm back
Bugscope Team Yay!
- Student Yay!! I'm back
- Student I am connected. Sorry, our class were all disconnected.
- Student What is that wiggly area?
Bugscope Team that is the sharp part of the mandible where it cuts into the prey
- Student The internet keeps on disconnecting
- Bugscope Team the jaws, or mandibles, open and close from the sides like a gate
- Student Disconnections everywhere
- Bugscope Team I am sorry.
- Student What are those big parts called?
- Bugscope Team it is coming and going
- Student I am bacjk 2
- Student We don't have stable internet connetion now.

- Student I am back!
- Student I am back!
- Student cool
- Student I am here
- Student Yay we're back!!
- Student who's connected???
- Student we are having trouble connecting to Bugscope web
- Bugscope Team tenent setae are sticky setae that are found on something called a pulvillus
- Student Connected!
- Bugscope Team they help insects stick to surfaces, like when a fly walks on the ceiling
- Student What is the name of that bug?
- Student What are these rocky looking bendy things?
- Student I am back
- Student we can get internet but cant connect to bugscope
- Student me~
- Student http://bugscope.beckman.uiuc.edu/interface.html
- Student I'm back
- Student I'm back
- Student I'm back
- Student Connected!]
- Bugscope Team this is on the pulvillus of the beetle from Malaysia that had been included in the specimens you sent
- Student what extreme..
- 6:17pm
- Student sorry I clicked enter too many times
- Student I'm back
- Student :D
- Bugscope Team I am sorry -- this is not working here now
- Student this looks cool
- Student We're getting connected and disconected every 5 seconds....
- Student yeah
- Bugscope Team it is so slow
- Student It looks like a skeleton
- Student It looks like a skeleton
- Student Hey, the internet connection at our school is being weird, and not a lot of us can get on.
- Student What is this???????
- Student It looks like part of ribcage

- Student hello
Bugscope Team Hi Chris
- Student Yay
- Student ..
- Student Are those bones?
- Student where is this part?
- Student hello
- Student What are those leave kind of things?
- Student Looks like bone.
- 6:22pm
- Student I'm connected again
- Student This works now!
- Student What are those little white spots on the long stick-looking figures for?
- Student is this the reproductive system or dna??
Bugscope Team this is part of the hand
- Student Hello!
- Bugscope Team Ashley has control, finally...
- Bugscope Team But I am not sure if we can sustain this, with things being so slow
- Bugscope Team some mold spores for you, so pretty
- 6:27pm
- Bugscope Team you all I am sorry -- I am going to have to shut down now
- Bugscope Team I am sorry for all of the delays, all of the lag.
- Bugscope Team But it was so very nice to work with everyone today.
