I love watching grasshoppers jump. It’s so weird to me that they have no landing cares. Like imagine jumping like 100 times your height and when asked what your plan to land is:

“hit the ground, wtf kind of stupid question is that!?” -- leap --

Grasshoppers have wings and can choose where and when they land.

Also the cube square law means that falling isn't exactly dangerous to them, not even at terminal velocity. It's an inconvenience at worst.
