Abstract
Aerial locomotion of many insects involves jumping or dropping from elevated positions. Flight and aerobatic manoeuvring often follow locust jumps, while jumps from elevated positions can carry flightless grasshoppers several metres through the air. Leg postures and orientation movements associated with aerial locomotion have been studied in the flightless grasshopper, Barytettixpsolus (Cohn & Cantrall, 1974).Keywords
