Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A grasshopper’s hind legs function like miniature catapults. In preparation for a jump, the grasshopper contracts its large flexor muscles slowly, bending its hind legs at the knee joint. A special piece of cuticle within the knee acts as a spring, storing up all the potential energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Compared to many other insects, grasshoppers are large. Some are more than 4 inches (11 centimeters) long. Grasshoppers have long hind legs that are good for jumping.
