Grasshopping

More important than the symbolism is the grasshopper itself. It can jump over 500 times its own height and 20 times its own body length. That's the equivalent of a human jumping over a 300 story building (that's two Empire State Buildings and a fifty story building stacked on top of each other!) Grasshoppers are able to do this by slowly charging their jumping mechanism and then releasing it in one quick explosive leap. This is known scientifically as a quantum leap.
