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.

I do this to live insects and then interrogate them for the location of their Queen.

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've had the same experience of being nibbled on the head by a horse while trying to do biology in a field in Sweden! I never realized it was a regional problem.

Right… “quirky”

The structure and format of this episode, its title cards and accompanying music, and other such details - polished, professional, and completely charming. Well done, Brain Scoop. Loved this particular topic. PS. Emily, your hair is lovely in that braid. It's a beautiful look for you.

I always have to listen to the end and make sure "...It still has brains on it." hasn't been editorially removed.

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.

I love the conversation and little facts shared while carefully pinning the insects! Its cool to see the insects returned to their lifelike poses.

Where can I get a "Women in Science" badge? Having daughters, it is a cause that I certainly support. I honestly believe that ALL of the problems in the world can be solved with more education.

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.

Really, I love you, this is exactly the kind of video I've been waiting for since the trip to the field with the enthomologist!

Such a lovely video! Im so excited to try this out for the first time with this one bug that I have. Thank you.

Great video. Will pass this on to all of our insect pin customers!

How to pin an insect is our favorite video on this channel. We love this channel for everything cool! We met Emily at the field museum in Chicago and talked about how to pin an insect - thanks for being so nice! From chicagoians . . .

yay! I was so in the mood for a new episode. Very interesting.

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.

I had a rather extensive moth, spider, and "other arthropods" collection as a kid. My 2-year-old sister ate and/or scattered bits of them all. I never started over.

GAH! I wish this video came out a year ago during my 6th form biology project. We had to collect, pin & preserve insects from 10 different orders. I punctured a hole in each wing of the winged insects to spread them and most of them ripped. )): Anyhoo! Will pass this video on to my biology teacher. Thank you, The Brain Scoop!

I had to do a project in high school which was collecting and correctly pinning & labeling 50+ bugs of at least 15 different orders. I don't remember everything I learned from that, but I do remember enjoying the things I learned from it.

oh my god I've been waiting my whole life for this video

More bug videos please! I like the dynamic between you two!

I adore your hairstyle today Emily!

ahhh thank you I've always been curious about how people have been able to pin bugs!

I personally like specimens in resin blocks , but this can also help if i wanna know how to get the right position before its set in the resin.

Loved this video thanks for your efforts in online education!

Thank you, learnt a lot as usual. Great video keep up the good work!

This makes me want to start my own collection. I find bugs very interesting. Thanks for such a good way for anyone to get exploring their surroundings.

Ahhhh love thebrainscoop. Wish I knew where Emily got her necklace. I collect and pin insects in my spare time and I'd love to have it.

I think it's really cool that both of you have an artistic background but are working in science because I also love art but I am also really interested in science and don't really know what I would like to study or even do for a living :)

You can also use an old, or used crock pot set on low to rehydrate the insect. I have a wire rack with foam set up above water. I fill it up with water and keep the lid a little ajar. Have to add water only once. Works great.

thanks Gracen, it was so inspiring

VERY CLEAR AND GREAT TIPS. THANX FOR TAKING THE TIME

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.

Any tips on starting private collections, what specimens to look for?

@thebrainscoop

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!

awesome! i love all the work you do to try and better the content found on youtube.

Great video! Also Emily, your hair was on point.

That was cool, I hope we see Grace again sometime.

Very nicely done video. Thank you.

Completely unrelated to insects..but your lovely hair braids have inspired me to start braiding my hair more often, Emily. :)

Gasp! This is awesome! I've been wondering how to do that. I have a small collection but I didn't really know what to do with them.

Go Gracen! Suddenly the insect net and pinning block I'm buying off of you have become pop culture artifacts.

One of my greatest fears the summer of 8th grade was the looming possibility of needing to create my own bug collection for 9th grade science. I just couldn't imagine coping well with capturing, freezing, and pinning a whole bunch of insects. Fortunately for me, I didn't go to the school that required the collecting, and I still don't think I could stomach it today!

This channel makes me even more determinate to work in a museum! This was very interesting although I am not a big fan of insects ;)

the wes anderson influence on the brain scoop lately is overwhelming :D

I'm studing biology in Science University of Oporto, Portugal and we had an assignment for invertebrates class where we had to make an insect collection And we had to pin them and indentify them. It was so much fun :)

This channel is great!

This was really cool - thanks!

"It's like bench pressing" 😂 I laughed so hard. Thanks for the education and comedy!! Great tips

Great video, never stop scienceing.

Emily is so goofy, I love it.

Yay Brain Scoop! I gotta visit the Field Museum the next time I'm in Chicago!

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.

Just watched this with my 4 year old daughter. I have no interest in insects but she wants to be an entomologist. She loved this and now wants to start her own bug collection. She got a bug catching kit for her birthday.

Another super cool episode! What do u do outside of the museum for fun? Or do you secretly sleep there? :) because I would.

Please be less adorable. You adorable science girl, you.

Very nice! Thank you!

I know it would be waaay off topic on this channel, but I would love a hair tutorial for the hair you have in this!

Wow thanks you two! This awesome!! SCIENCE, SCIENCE, SCIENCE, SCIENCE!

So my dad had collected beetles from his youth and had passed down his collection to me. The specimens are roughly 20+years held in a box of cotton and glass. They are very brittle and can break from moving the box. Will the steam method of relaxing the beetles be of any use?

@sirblue5586

2 жыл бұрын

Probably not since they are so fragile that just moving the box damages them.

cicadas are my favorite insect because when I was a kid I used to run around outside collecting their shells. I piled them all over my room and would just stare at them for hours. Playing with their little legs, the ridges on their back, their little eyeball domes. Creeped my mom out.

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!

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.

this was so helpful! Starting my own collection of local specimens is something I've always wanted to do. Do the insects need to be preserved in alcohol beforehand or can you just pin them without putting them in the alcohol first?

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..

Vellum is also important because it 'typically' is acid free. This allows the material it is touching to not be degraded over time by the acids in the material holding it down. Important step for archival :)

Now I feel the urge to search for these pretty green beetles I always see in my garden :D

I loved this!

OH MY GOD! You ladies are awesome! If I had met you two in High School I totally would've studied science in college. Back then all the science majors I met were really not nice older men.

Gracen is cool! Would be nice if she was featured in another episode

This is totally unrelated to the topic, but I love your earrings, where did you get them? (And, like, a hair-tutorial would be cool too...)

This came in handy this summer

I didn't know you could re-hydrate them! I always thought that once they're dried up, that was it.

i needed this video in my life. now i know exactly what to do the next time i find a dead insect.

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 KZread, 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.

Today I learned from The Brain Scoop what I have in common with dead, dried insects: I find saunas relaxing.

No way! So if I died tomorrow, I could be outlived by a cicada?

I enjoyed this video a lot. I'm very new to all of this, so learning how to relax the bugs and where to pin them was super helpful. Unfortunately, the dead beetle that I found, relaxed, dried, and pinned, came back to life after a few hours. It wasn't pretty. So uh, can beetles survive a pin through their backs? Thanks.
