Description
These insects really are quite incredible jumpers!
These little animals are able to leap in the air over 115 times the length of its body (around 70cm), which to put into perspective just how impressive the froghopper’s hop is, it is equivalent to a human jumping around 200 meters! Taking off with a velocity that exerts a force that is 400 times its own body weight (G-Force 400) (an astronaut rocketing into orbit experiences a G-force is around five) which is all really quite incredible!
