A Novel Power-Amplified Jumping Behavior in Larval Beetles (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae)

M. A. Bertone, J. C. Gibson, A. E. Seago, T. Yoshida, A. A. Smith

This paper describes a novel jumping behavior in Laemophloeus biguttatus beetle larvae, suggesting the use of a latch-mediated spring actuation mechanism for efficient locomotion.
