The newly discovered leaproach, which looks like a cockroach but acts like a grasshopper, is described in the journal Biology Letters.
The insect was found in the Silvermine Nature Reserve in the Table Mountain National Park in South Africa. It lives in grasslands and feeds on grasshopper droppings.
Just four-tenths of an inch long, it can jump up to 50 body lengths in a single jump.
This is what I want to do for a living, nature photography.

I usually loathe insects, but the Das Racist quote caught me off-guard.
