The highest jumping insect in the world
In the summer time, we humans walk outdoors on the roads of fields and mountain passes. From time to time, we will see a pile of white foam on the road positions, and this foam is the nest of the foam cicada. Froth cicadas, also known as bubble blowers, are very common in rural areas and are a crop pest. There are very many kinds of foam cicadas, they have a very common skin color and live mainly on plant leaves. Usually they like to spit bubbles when they have nothing to do, why they spit bubbles, because this bubble can protect them. By absorbing the sap of plants, digested and produced by their abdominal peristalsis. This bubble is so viscous that the larvae hiding in the nest can also suck up the plant stem sap's.
Bubble nests are very comfortable and also very warm, and at the same time they can avoid enemy attacks very well. Although they look very insignificant, with an average length of only 6cm, they can jump very high, reaching a height of 70cm, making them the undisputed high jump champion of the insect world.
We humans are very curious why such a small bug has such a strong bouncing ability? Well because the foamy cicada has very well developed muscles in its hind legs and there are many muscles. The back muscles are like a slingshot that can release muscle power within a millisecond of time. The gravity borne when jumping is about four hundred times, we all know the rocket, the rocket to the sky is only 6 times to 7 times the gravity borne.
Since, frogs have a very strong ability to jump high, it can help frogs very well to escape from some birds and insects. And it is also difficult for us humans to catch them, so this skill also becomes a tool for them to protect themselves.
