Grasshoppers have muscles attached to their exoskeleton that allow them to walk using three pairs of legs, with three for body support and three for moving forward. They jump by flexing their rear legs with flexor muscles then relaxing those muscles while contracting the extensor muscles, straightening the legs suddenly and propelling them upwards, similar to flexing an arm against a wall and then pushing to extend it backwards.

Grasshopper Muscles • Grasshopper muscles are attached to the exoskeleton of the grasshopper, like ours are attached to our endoskeleton (bones) Grasshopper Legs • Grasshoppers have 3 pairs of legs • 3 are used for body support during walking • Other 3 are used for moving forward • Rear legs are bigger for jumping How Grasshoppers Jump • Grasshoppers have flexor and extensor muscles • Before jumping, flexor muscles are contracted and extensor muscles are relaxed, legs are fully flexed • During jump, flexor muscles relax and extensor contracts suddenly, causing legs to straighten Similar Example • Try this: flex your arm so that your hand is close to your shoulder • While arm is flexed, place palm of hand on a wall • Push the wall with your hand, extending your arm • Feel the push backwards? That is how a grasshopper jumps. FIN = END = HABIS Stop reading this, you.
