Jumping Hoppers in SLOW MOTION!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Leafhoppers, treehoppers, planthoppers, and froghoppers are all insects in the order Hemiptera that are some of the fastest jumping animals on earth! They are also super-common, so I collected a bunch and filmed their jumps in slow-motion!

planthopper: kickflips itself
It looks like a tre flip.
LOL

"I'm Outtie 5000..."
More like a tre fr
Love how the hoppers don't even calculate the leap. They just shoot themselves into the air erratically until they attain balance
Full on Yeetbugs.
just send it bro
Right? Just like, “farewell. I must go.” *Sails nonsensically into the Void*
That's why they end up in my glass of water sometimes
It might be easier to escape predators that way. If they can’t predict where you’ll end up it’s harder to get caught.
The one dislike is a plant hopper who didn't like how undignified he looked in the video.
we all tend to be our biggest critics.
@@dero4378 most of the time dislikes on videos like this are from competing youtubers who are jealous, etc
@@NorvilleRogers-MYSTERY-INC I didn't ask but alright.
@Vicks VaporRub why tho?
No fall damage: Enabled.
Or wear Lucky Horseshoe
LOL
Lol imagine we could do that. I live in the 3rd floor and to go out would be as just as easy as jumping out the window lol
"Fall damage: disabled" would sound better
@@Aculusi :o
4:40 "stabilize and start flying" the little dude went down like a out of control helicopter
@Francisco Nieves ??
That was his plan 😂
Autorotation emergency landing.
when ur gyroscope gets damaged
@@zeorph dude look like he got hit by a ghost 😂
Why is it so funny watching them spin after they jump
Scientifically, their inability to gracefully move pulls out a primal amusement in humans that says, "Thank goodness, this isn't dangerous. We can feel safe around its stupidity."
Why isn’t anyone talking about the fact that one of the insects literally uses gears, that’s so cool
Yeah that was wild. Beyond sci-fi.
Because it loses them after time
God truly is the greatest creator
@@ryanmccue8180 stupid creationists everywhere
Exactly, evolution is amazing. I've never seen gear teeth in animal design before. Makes you wonder how nature gets to decide the how and why.
Perhaps there is a designer after all *wink
I love that some of them actually have a trajectory and some of them just cartwheel themselves out of the atmosphere
0:11 "They're all incredible insects, just watch what they can do..."
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Houston we have a problem!
Dude, I was not prepared for that. Nearly spat out all my food from laughing.
Do a flip
Ever since then, everybody calls him Giorgo
I think a less controlled jump might serve as an advantage when escaping a predator. Although a steady jumper has more accuracy, their movements are more predictable. For insects that are good at reading trajectories (like dragonflies) this would make for an easy mark. On other hand, prey with a jump that is more haphazard might be harder to catch.
Gymnast: I can do a double backflip!
Insect: 0:42
Underrated

Well, actually just hexapoda, not insects
@@italucenaz all of these guys in the video are considered insects, as hemiptera is an order within hexapoda
the tripikciqradrontakickerplipashit jump
these videos are SO beautiful! there's something really poetic and magical about the way you've framed them, so they seem to hop off into the air and out of frame. also, those planthoppers seem so brave to me! can you imagine being so small and spinning like that on takeoff?
Thanks for this, glad you enjoyed the images!
I agree, I really like the cinematography here, the only thing I would say though, is that with the subtitles on, you can't see any of the hoppers at the start of the video. 😅
The soundtrack needs the BOINGGGGG sound effect.
or the faster than a speeding bullet sound effect lol
0:14 Far right definitely yelled "YEET" as it jumped.
It’s really surprising to see the actual size of the bugs after watching your videos where they look so much bigger . It’s great to see their full beauty on the screen . Much appreciated
These are so neat! They're some of my favorite kinds of bugs to find because they're so compact and cute. The plant hoppers at the end are especially adorable.
I never knew spittle bugs were frog hooper nymphs! I actually thought they were 2 different animals. Like the ant lion which is known as a doodle bug but grows into a dragonfly/damsel fly like insect.
Thank you so much for doing this video. We read about froghoppers during our homeschool reading this morning, your video was a fantastic addition, had us all giggling over the bugs acrobatics!
This channel is so important!! I love the idea of making scientific footage much more accesible to the public, thank you!
During every one of your videos I exhibit a grin/smile from ear to ear! I cannot get enough of the miracles before my eyes...Thank you Doctor Adrian Smith. As a Physicist, how they derive their calculations would be fascinating to discover and understand!
I'm so glad that I stumbled down the UA-cam worm hole last night and found this video. All summer I've been noticing more of the frog hoppers this year. I never knew what type of bug it was but I knew that it was harmless. They always hop on me and just ride along while I be cutting grass...😄. I've always thought of them as a cool little bug because of it's color patterns.
I like how he moderates out of a forest. It's something new and it calms me somehow
WoW...I wish I had studied entomology as a young man. Never knew insects were so beautiful and interesting. Thank for your informative videos. Maybe some kids will benefit from your work and inter into this discipline.
You can always start studying! The world becomes a much gentler, more interesting place when you learn to notice all the littlest creatures around us ♡
I'm just a young entomologist, I hope to get my degree in the next couple decades
The whole video in a nutshell: _WEEEEEE_
This is some pretty great footage
You should upload some compilations with just footage/music with an outer and a link to this video
Very cool! I love how the hoppers naturally sit at almost a 45 degree angle and when they jump, their legs push them strait out (sometimes) so they get maximum distance. Great engineering on those things!
0:15 "sv_gravity -100"
Lol, Source engine
This is of a much higher and informative quality than it needs to be. Very engaging, thanks dude.
Others: (Researching and observing about they jump)
Hoppers: "Weeeeeeeeeee!"😏
On a quick glance, i thought it was a burnt shoe on the thumbnail. Lol
Love this channel! I wanted to be an entomologist once upon a time, still always want to learn more. Keep it up mate!
Normal bugs: Flies with purpose and grace
Plant hopper: *YEET!!*
I'm interested in seeing these hoppers land in slow motion as well. Especially given how turbulent many of their flight paths appear to be lol. I wondered if the armor on some of them played any role in softening the impact.
Kudos, great presentation, great teacher, thank you. Please continue. It’s clear how much work went into putting this together. Shorter presentations may be less of an impediment to realizing these gems. 🕊
It's awesome to know you're doing something you're passionate about for a living. Keep up the great work, dude! ✌
So that's what they are!!! I always call them "saddle bugs" because they look saddle shaped and usually land on me or my canine brother 's back on a walk, or "grass bugs". I could feel the force as they take off my finger tip! I always see the tiny bright green ones with smooth bodies. I love seeing them jumping all over the summer! Thank you for this video!
Who is here escaping political ads in 2020 & loving these videos?
Now here in 2021 escaping non-stop pandemic panic & depressing world events coverage...🦗🦗🦗
Just use 3rd party software and have no ads at all, it's even better 👌
These critters are so precious! Love them so much.

Your channel brings a lot of joy to my life 💕 its like deep look but specific to my field of interest. Explaining The mechanisms of what you film is especially useful
This was super awesome to see and your passion was so infectious! Thank you for sharing!
Next time, design some grip tape for bugs and make a rippin pro-texture launch-pad for optimal take-off.
My mom found some candy striped leafhoppers in our garden last summer! We oohed and ahhed over how beautiful they were. Such amazing creatures!!🥰
the way that they just spin in the air like 1989 times just to move it’s so cute
UA-cam won't stop recommending this video.
That first guy with his own controllable, just, I'm out of here spring is my spirit animal for the day
Please don't use the phrase spirit animal if you are not indigenous
@@pumpkinhills7611 we are all indigenous. We all come from this Earth. Not just one race. Stop acting like native Americans are the only humans that come from this planet. Now read my joke and lighten the f up My spirit animal everyday is the pecan tree. You see, it takes about 14 years to mature and drops quality nuts for the next 400.
I love these little cicadas, they're so cute
That spring tail bug jumping and spinning around like that reminds me of Sonic the hedgehog jumping 😂
Ant Lab is such a UA-cam gem! I can't believe I didn't find this sooner.
"Just watch what they can do." *does a 360 spin flip*
0:15 He didn't even try he just ascended into another world.
Now I know how these little guys have the amazing ability to hop directly into my nose when I'm in the garden.
I grew a weed plant one time that hosted a family of plant hoppers. It was cool watching them mature and the plants didn't seem to mind.
I’m high asf stared at the thumbnail for 30 mins tryna figure out what I was looking at
You were high.
"just watch what they can do"
planthopper: A S C E N D
I always thought they're one of the derpiest insects, and this video did a great job of not changing my mind. Gotta love 'em all the way
All fun and games until a hopper hops to your skin and sucks blood. Yes, I’m talking about FLEAS!
Dude could film insects all year and I'd watch all of them
They are all amazing insects just watch what they can do:
Insects: Yeet!
LeafHopper - straight jumping, gracious
TreeHopper - disbalanced jumping
frogHopper - *YEEET*
Just glad I found this channel
Ant lab: look at how cool these insects are, you can find them just outside your house
Me: moves to a bunker immediately
2:13 Up Up and Awayyyyyyyy..... So cute!!
Seeing those legs in action directing their course LOVE IT
Keep doing what you do! All of it was amazing to see. You are a terrific teacher!
I see froghoppers in my yard all the time! They land on my fingers and when i blink, gone, its so cool.
As an animal artist this is bleeding edge reference in animal locomotion. Thank you for your hard work.
I LOVE these videos, and I love hoppers. They're fascinating and amazing little creatures! Thank you for sharing!
I have always been fascinated with hoppers... every time I see one I put my finger behind it to watch it jump... extremely fast.
Man, I'm so amazed by what you doing. When I was 7 years old, I want to become an entomologist. Now I'm Ph.D. in biology but in the nano-bio field. Yet everything connected with insects inspires me. I always wonder how these hoppers move so fast, looking like teleport. 550g OMG. And thanks for the links to the papers, they are spectacular.
You make the world better with this footage. This is like the best stuff I've ever seen. So inspiring.
I like the little flick you feel when you toch then and they jump away from you, I used to play with them a lot when I was a kid.
these videos are fascinating man, I really enjoy them.
Imagine how terrifying it would be if snails could hop like that
Men like you made this planet better
This channel is awesome, can't believe i never saw any of your videos
Superb video and very informative! Thank you for taking time to film these tiny yet so very important creatures. Insects totally rule!
The planthoppers look like they just forget how gravity works and just float off in these slow-mos.
I didnt know they could be so cute!
Hoppers are one of my fave groups of arthropods.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Amazing. These are some of my favorite insects, too.
I'm just one state over from NC, so I've probably got the same leafhoppers that you have in your yard. Every summer the little guys manage to find their way inside my house and back into my room (along with fireflies and moths). I love watching them hop around, they're so cute. Always have to catch them and put them back outside pretty quickly though, otherwise they end up jumping into my lamp and frying themselves.
Treehoppers are some of my favorite insects. It's so exciting to videos about them on youtube!
The frog hopper
at the beginning 😂😂😂😂
- For God's sake Adrian! dinner is ready!!! 😠
- YEAH I HEARD MOM!!! I'm calculating how many Gs a planthopper is getting !!!!😡
Had a black leafhopper on my finger, and when it jumped off, the force on my skin felt incredibly strong. I was curious what they looked like in slo-mo. The hilariously chaotic takeoffs did not disappoint.
What a cool dude to make such a great video as this one. A budding young Entomologist.
This insect absolutely love doing kick flip, barrel roll, and fly like superman
Pretty cool video nerd I’ll subscribe cause you’re actually informative and not annoying at all
That plant hoppers flight is similar to the moment when the edibles hit.
😎😄
Beautiful creatures! It’s nice to see them in action since the only ones that I’ve seen are the ones encased in amber that lived 50-100 million years ago! Wether alive or frozen in time, they’re amazing! Thanks!!
Plant hoppers are officially “team derp”
I used to see these when I was a small boy. I used to wonder what they were. And then, over the decades, I forgot they existed. Until now.
The plant hopper jump made.mt.laugh so hard it just flips out of there
No one:
Plant hopper: *Yeets itself violently*
Great video. I made experience with fleas in my house. My cats brought them in. Oh man....there was a lot of hopping going on. 😫
Synchronizing gears in the legs 🤯
Awesome video.. been amazed with hoppers since i was a kid..
I didn't know there were so many Hoppers! Or really how colorful they were
