A flea can jump up to 200 times its body length. That is like a human jumping 365 metres. Even Jonathan Edwards with a hop skip and a jump and a following wind only managed 18.29 metres. High speed footage has shown the flea uses it hind legs as multi-jointed levers while large spines near their feet grip the ground for extra traction.

Would be amazing to see at their scale first hand. Making me itch now.
Perils of writing this blog - I itch A LOT! ;)
That flea looked fairly anxious when you jump that far you never know what your getting yourself into :)
If you listen VERY carefully you can hear the flea's terrified scream! ;)
No that was me !
It could land anywhere like these pesky satellites. If you are near the expected landing site you may want to flee - sorry!
