CATDOLL : CATDOLL: The function of locust's hind legs

As a result of adapting to different living environments and lifestyles, they have specialized into structures with many different functions. The hind legs of locusts are mainly used for jumping.

Based on my experience I can conclude:

1 Jump, obviously.

2 Use the hook and strength to counterattack the attacker~

3 Be able to help it swim if necessary.

4 Some species of locusts can use the friction between their wings to make sounds to attract females.

When it is a larva, it mainly plays the role of jumping. After becoming an adult, it has an additional function, which is to help it fly, that is, it needs to jump when taking off.

Because locusts can fly. When they are young, they cannot fly yet and have to rely on their hind legs to jump forward. When they grow up, their hind legs still have the function.
