A flea can accelerate faster than a space shuttle. Flea jumps reach breathtaking heights - 8 centimeters per millisecond. Each jump gives the flea an acceleration that is 50 times the acceleration of the spaceship. Parasites especially use this method of movement in case of danger, jumping so quickly that a person sometimes cannot even understand: fleas are jumping or crawling. Such a unique ability is also necessary for insects to search for prey.
