A Roach With the Reach of a Grasshopper

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/13/science/leaping-cockroach-discovered.html?ref=science

Summary: In South Africa in the Slivermine Nature Reserve in the Table Mountain National Park. It acts like a grasshopper but looks like a cockroach. It can jump up to 50 body lenghts in a single jump and it just four-tenths of and inch long.

Critique: If I found this on me I think I would freak out. It would be cool to have this animal in biology but not as a pet.

Impact: Probably one of the most weirdest animals that I know so far.
