They prevent movement during elastic loading by placing two regions covered with microstructures against each other, which likely serve as a newly described adhesive latch. ![]() They store elastic energy by forming their body into a loop and pressurizing part of their body to form a transient ‘leg’. We examined the kinematics, energetics and morphology of long-distance jumps produced by the legless larvae of gall midges ( Asphondylia sp.). ![]() Jumping is often achieved using propulsive legs, yet legless leaping has evolved multiple times.
