Yes, grasshoppers have full control over their jumps. The jump is effected by contractor muscles in the bulkier, stronger, upper parts of the hind legs and by lower leg muscles pulling tendons back and putting spring-like knee cuticles in position to launch 10 to 20 times body length horizontally or vertically and is similar to the spot-on Archery of the best manipulated bow and arrow. It requires no assistance from two sets of shorter forelegs that instead contribute to holding prey and walking paces.
