What goes up must come down - Biomechanical impact analysis of jumping locusts
Simon V. Reichel, Susanna Labisch, Jan-Henning Dirks
This study analyzes the biomechanics of locust jumps, finding that locusts typically crash onto the substrate without active impact reduction, but may use body bending and adhesive pads to aid recovery.
