Jumping without Using Legs: The Jump of the Click-Beetles (Elateridae) Is Morphologically Constrained
To return to their feet, inverted click-beetles (Elateridae) jump without using their legs. When a beetle is resting on its dorsal side, a hinge mechanism is locked to store elastic energy in the body and releases it abruptly to launch the beetle into the air. While the functional morphology of the...
