    Scientists don’t know of a way to tell the age of a ladybug. It is only known that they live about a year.

    how do you tell how old a lady bug is? thank you! (:

  3. Absolutely! Make sure you work with your parents so you’re all in agreement as to what is allowed in the house!

  4. The Bhramin moth is famous for its larval form, rather than the adult moth, primarily because of its defense mechanism (it can inject a potentially deadly venom).

  5. Oh yeah and also, can I keep insects as pets to study them?

  6. is the bhramin moth caterpillar piousness? and why does it have those weird things on its head? Also, in the fall, we’ve had some problems with an invasive species that looks a lot like a lady bug. in fact we thought we were having an over lode of lady bugs in our house! But then we did found out that they are different. But I was wondering, how can you tell which is which? In other words, what is the difference between the lady bug, and this other beetle which looks a lot like a lady bug. And also, what is this lady bug-like insect?

  7. i can barely hear the audio. i have the volume all the way up onboth the video and on my new computer.
    how can i increase the audio?

  8. Regarding astronomy VS astrology: Astronomy is the branch of science that has to do with space and the physical interactions of objects in space. Astrology has to do with a belief that the movements and positions of celestial bodies have an influence over human affairs and the natural world.

    In ancient times, astronomy and astrology were all mixed together. But, in modern times, when talking about science, we use the term astronomy.

    Regarding your question about becoming an astronaut: One of the main requirements is the pursuit of studies in the fields of “science, technology, engineering or math”. Astronaut candidates must be well on their way to earning a Ph.D. in one of those fields. Alternatively, they must have a doctorate of medicine or doctorate of osteopathic medicine.

    Woops! I meant to put that under the “Classification” video. Sorry!

    I wasn’t sure where to put this question: in astronomy or biology. I’m more interested in astronomy, but I know if you’re going to be an astronaut, you would have to study things like biology, engineering, chemistry, robotics, astrology, and other scientific fields. So I’m not exactly sure where to start. (By the way, I’m in 9th grade). There are lots of different people on the ISS; some of them study the behaviors of insects, while someone else may work on operating the arms that astronauts are attached to when they leave the ship for repairs. That covers biology chemistry, and robotics. Maybe more! And then there might be people on Earth who are designing and engineering rovers that can do more, or spaceships with fuel that could have a longer endurance. That could include aeronautics, physics, and electronics. These are all things I enjoy learning and studying, but I wonder if I should study something specifically. Because everyone is needed when it comes to astronomy or astrology; I don’t quite know the difference between the two. Could you give me any recommendations? Thanks, Sasha

  11. I don’t have a thing for bugs, but I like biology, I really like marine biology but I wanted to take this class.

    Yay! I love dragonflies but I have to say I have a strange thing for spiders! Me and my twin sister once hatched a black widow egg sack it was amazing we also hatched these little yellow spiders too! We watched them scurry out of the dog bowl we hatched them in and scurry away across the concrete in our backyard insects are amazing!
