Fig. 6. Complete trajectory of a forward jump. The position of three points on the body are plotted [front of the head (diamonds), tip of the abdomen (triangles) and the same position on the thorax as in Fig. 5 (squares)]. Selected frames from the sequence are shown at the times indicated. The cartoon in this and subsequent figures shows Timema at the start of the jump to emphasise the position of the hind legs.
