Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Young planthopper insects (Issus coleoptratus) can jump about three feet (a meter) in a single bound. They employ gear wheels-complete with teeth that interlock with grooves-to coordinate their hind legs during high-speed jumps.
Detailed explanation-2: -A tiny insect called the froghopper, or spittle bug, has leapt over the flea as nature’s most powerful jumper.
Detailed explanation-3: -Locusts need such strong legs to withstand high-impact jumps and deliver defensive kicks-something else to fear if they take the world by swarm. See more ScienceShots.
