Froghoppers are champion suckers


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Froghoppers are a type of insect found in North America and parts of Europe—they get their name from their ability to jump very long distances relative to their body size. They are unique in other ways, as well—encasing themselves in foamed-up plant sap in the springtime is just one example. They also have a butt catapult that throws their urine through the air to keep the bugs from being overwhelmed because they pee so much. And now it seems they are also champion suckers.
