It might be easier to escape predators that way. If they can’t predict where you’ll end up it’s harder to get caught.

Underrated comment lmfao

I think a less controlled jump might serve as an advantage when escaping a predator. Although a steady jumper has more accuracy, their movements are more predictable. For insects that are good at reading trajectories (like dragonflies) this would make for an easy mark. On other hand, prey with a jump that is more haphazard might be harder to catch.

It’s really surprising to see the actual size of the bugs after watching your videos where they look so much bigger . It’s great to see their full beauty on the screen . Much appreciated

When the Treehoppers first jump...... “Ah, oh my gosh what’s happening, I’m dying....oh wait, I’m ok.” Great video.

The whole video in a nutshell: _WEEEEEE_

I like how he moderates out of a forest. It's something new and it calms me somehow

I never knew spittle bugs were frog hooper nymphs! I actually thought they were 2 different animals. Like the ant lion which is known as a doodle bug but grows into a dragonfly/damsel fly like insect.

Guys like this raise the collective XP level of Humans!

These are so neat! They're some of my favorite kinds of bugs to find because they're so compact and cute. The plant hoppers at the end are especially adorable.

How exciting that someone has come along to fill the void left by Louis Henri Fabre in entertaining us with fabulous facts about our incredible insect friends! Your commentary and photography are wonderful. Keep up this great work.

I'm so glad that I stumbled down the KZread worm hole last night and found this video. All summer I've been noticing more of the frog hoppers this year. I never knew what type of bug it was but I knew that it was harmless. They always hop on me and just ride along while I be cutting grass...😄. I've always thought of them as a cool little bug because of it's color patterns.

Thank you so much for doing this video. We read about froghoppers during our homeschool reading this morning, your video was a fantastic addition, had us all giggling over the bugs acrobatics!

Another great video!!!

Others: (Researching and observing about they jump) Hoppers: "Weeeeeeeeeee!"😏

Very cool! I love how the hoppers naturally sit at almost a 45 degree angle and when they jump, their legs push them strait out (sometimes) so they get maximum distance. Great engineering on those things!

I'm interested in seeing these hoppers land in slow motion as well. Especially given how turbulent many of their flight paths appear to be lol. I wondered if the armor on some of them played any role in softening the impact.

In addition to being completely adorable, those around my house seem to teleport to my naked eye. My daughter and I speculate about how fast and far they can jump, and, since they are hunting, how they control their landings instead of spinning out of control like so many other jumpers.
