One study looked at several species of flea beetles, including the Altica cirsicola species, and described the jumping mechanism of these beetles to be very efficient. [4] This study even applied the knowledge gained from the flea beetles to create a preliminary design for a bionic leg that can jump. [4] Flea beetles can also walk normally and fly.
