Oh, I almost forgot! Froghoppers, also called spittlebugs, have a hidden superpower. They can jump 70 centimeters high—that’s the height of a dining table—relative to their tiny 6mm bodies. But they do it slowly, taking two milliseconds to accelerate. Compare that to a flea’s one millisecond. It’s like the difference between a Ferrari and a Honda Civic—both get you there, but one is a show-off.
And guess what? Froghoppers produce cuckoo spit—that foamy stuff you see on plants—to hide while they grow up. So they’re jumpers that also live in a bubble bath. Living the dream, honestly.
