Jumping Plant Lice: The Fastest Front-Flipping Insects
Jumping plant lice, or psyllids, are the fastest front-flipping insects, but not many people know about how amazing they are! I set out to film the high-flying flips of these plant-feeding, often thought of as “pest”, insects. They are hemipterans in the superfamily Psylloidea and are often referred to as “psyllids”. Most of the shots, unless other with labeled in the video, were captured at 3,200 frames per second.
If you want to read more about how they jump, the research study I mentioned in the video is this:
Jumping mechanisms in jumping plant lice (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha, Psyllidae) by M. Burrows (2012) Journal of Experimental Biology 215: 3612-3621; doi: 10.1242/jeb.074682
