Look at Room 11 enjoying the microscopes to explore the details on a spider (alive), a fly, a daddy-long-legs and a weta (all dead). It was a girl weta and we could see the tube that she lays her eggs out of (the ovipositor).

I wrote down some of the comments, so you can picture what we saw: "It's creepy"; "It's BIG!" (the fly); "Come and look at this guys" (the weta); "Woo-ooooo" (the weta); "I don't think it's creepy";

"I can see the patterns on the legs (of the daddy-long-legs)"; "It's soooo hairy" (the fly); "Look! Look! It's moving!" (the spider) "I like it" (the weta); "There are 6 eyes" (the spider).

It was hard to take turns when there was so much to be see.

We need to get better at taking photos down the lens. We hope Room 8 were excited to see it today.
