    It might be a bit niche, but I'd love to see more insects being pinned - the process for pinning a butterfly or moth is a bit more involved, so a nice instructional video would be really cool.

    Wing venation can be pretty key to differentiating species within a genus. That's why sometimes you'd want to avoid damaging the wings, and why it would be worthwhile to spread them apart.

    I really love seeing ladies having fun doing science. I always enjoyed biology in high school but didn't keep up with the sciences because of my less than stellar math grades, so I really enjoy the educational aspects of the brain scoop, as well as how much fun you and the other people on the show seem to be having. It's science without being "this is super serious" so it's approachable. I think it's really great for younger women and girls out there to see the variety in the kinds of jobs and the kinds of women who go into scientific fields, especially one as hands on as the brain scoop shows.

    To preface, this video is terrific and helped me a lot, these are not complaints, just silly little semantic things I thought were funny, mostly to do with the "chapter" names.
    "how to collect insects:" tells you where they collected the insects from. No mention of capture tools/techniques, storing, or transporting strategies. "Drying Insects:" tells you how to re-hydrate a bug if you find one that's dried out lol XD

      Actually, spiders can't be pinned; they have to be preserved in alcohol. Insects are the only arthropods whose exoskeletons have the right composition - they harden when they dry out, whereas spiders fall apart.

      Really, it's whatever you take an interest in. Some insects will be easier to find than others, naturally - and make sure you've got a permit or permissions if you're collecting on public lands. I've always wanted my own millipede collection because they're so diverse and can be easy to find under logs and at night!

    I never saw the yearly "dog day" Cicadas when I was little but I heard them during every summer vacation. Since the noise over my head seemed to be moving up and down the street I figured it must be coming from the only thing I could see, the wires on the telephone poles. In my early teens I happened to walk alone through a field of 17 years Cicadas. Suddenly surrounded on all sides by a truly deafening and unfamiliar noise I did the sensible thing and ran like hell.

    Great subject for a video. Anyone remember back when kids, and grandparents, and people in between used to do this as a hobby? I just wonder how many people out there still do this as amateurs. And of course that makes me wonder if the Field has any collections of insects that were donated by amateur back yard collectors. I remember going to the county fair as a kid and seeing some fantastic displays of butterflies and beetles and other things that various people brought to show off. I didn't think of it at the time as science, but one of the things I've learned from the Brain Scoop is that collecting specimens is a critical part of science.

    Once you've pinned an insect, does that mean you are going steady?
    Seriously, once the insect is dried, it stays in the position you pinned it? right? So you don't need the vellum or ALL the pins for final display, am I correct?

    • @HonageMaximus
      @HonageMaximus 10 лет назад +11

      Yes, you'll notice the only pin actually in the insect is the one in the thorax. Once its dried it retains that position. The labels with information like species (if known), date, location and conditions of its collection are stuck on the central pin underneath the insect and its then stored.

    • @LaughingGenius

      Once it's dry, you can remove all the bracing pins and just leave the 'handle' through the thorax. I usually leave mine for several days though, just to be sure.

      Ha - look into how little the most challanged actually can learn, and how mean and egoistic many people are, and you will probably change your mind. About the gender thing, I really don't think, that you need to anything but back them up in "anything" they want to do. I am absolutly not a feminist, but it always makes me happy, when a woman has succes in a field, where we usually would expect a man. The same when I clicked on this video, and I don't think, your daughters believe, that there are "any" doors closed for them, that are open for "all" boys/men. I bet you can get one of your daughters to design that badge, and probably sell a bunch of them too, if she flashed them online. Kids/teens can do "anything", if there's a good reason to do it.

    You should do a video on how to pin butterflies. I have always wanted to start a collection and have found some really pretty ones but don't know how to preserve them so the wings don't degrade.

    I used to do that all the time when I was about 9-13 years old! Sadly I have lost my collection though, but I might start again someday..

    Nice video, but you guys left out the next steps: How long to let them dry after they have been positioned, and then different options for either storage, or display. Also where to affix or pin the labels, etc. There's actually a lot of other insect pinning videos on RUclips, so I know the answers, but for others, this video could have quickly recapped some of the other details. You could always go into that in your next Q&A segment, or if there's another follow-up video.

    when i was younger, my mum and i went trekking. come evening, we were getting ready for bed after a long day, and i opened a window to breathe in the fresh air. and there, on the wooden window sill, was the most beautiful moth i'd ever seen.
    i reached out, expecting it to fly away, but it didn't. i took the insect and it perched on my finger. its white wings were bigger than my childish hand, and one of its wings was torn - it was apparent that the moth couldn't fly at all. i must have spent hours absentmindedly switching it from one hand to the other, until my mum told me to go to sleep. i put the moth back on the window sill, but before i'd closed the window i changed my mind.
    i pinned the insect, large as it was, with my thumb. it started fluttering uncontrollably. then i crushed its thorax, thinking i was being merciful, my whole hand sticky with its insides.
    sometimes i still wonder if it would've lived, but something tells me i would've ended its life either way. it's certainly something to think about.

    I live in Phoenix and every summer the cicadas come out and are SOOOO LOUD! Then they all die and litter the ground with their little corpses. I still love them though (:

    17 year cicadas are so cool! We have them in Northern Illinois, and I've seen them twice now, and I find them fascinating! The last time was just a few years ago, though, so you won't see them soon, Emily. P.S. Your hair is really cute in this episode!
