Adult froghoppers jump from plant to plant; some species can jump up to 70 cm (28 in) vertically: a more impressive performance relative to body weight than fleas. The froghopper can accelerate at 4,000 m/s 2 (13,000 ft/s 2 ) over 2 mm (0.079 in) as it jumps (experiencing over 400 gs of acceleration). [ 8 ]
