What if you were very small?
Jumper
Smaller than a cat or a dog, a bar of soap, or a bottle cap.
Jumper
As small as a bean.
Jumper
What would your world be like?
Jumper
That is her world. She is hungry and ready to hunt.
Jumper
She walks along the garden fence. Her tufted feet let her hook on to its surface.
Jumper
A line of silk shows where she has been.
Jumper
Imagine walking not just on the ground but on the walls and ceiling, too. You wouldn’t need to be afraid of heights with your own built-in safety line.
Jumper
That is how she moves.
Jumper
The corner garden is a jungle, where she can find and stalk her prey. But she also faces dangers of her own…
Jumper
What if you could sense tiny vibrations through your elbows and knees? You wouldn’t miss a bug’s soft steps, or the rush of beating wings.
Jumper
That is how she feels.
Jumper
She hides from the Carolina chickadee just in time.
Jumper
She climbs among the beans. A grasshopper is warming in the sun, and she would make a tasty meal.
Jumper
The grasshopper is big and strong, but she is a gifted hunter.
Jumper
Can she clear the distance?
Jumper
What if you could jump five times your body length? You could cross a whole garden without a running start.
Jumper
That is how she jumps.
Jumper
But she is not fast enough today.
Jumper
Down, down, she ventures deeper into the garden, still searching for prey.
Jumper
Meanwhile, the drone of wings grows in the distance …
Jumper
You detect sound using tiny hairs in your ears. What if your whole body was covered in these hairs, and you could hear through your arms and legs?
Jumper
That is how she hears.
Jumper
She scoots to safety, hidden from the parasitic wasp.
Jumper
Quiet comes again to the garden.
Jumper
She walks through plants that seem tall enough to reach the clouds.
Jumper
But what will she find to eat?
Jumper
If you close one eye, the world seems flat. Imagine if you had eight eyes instead of only two. Then you could see in every direction at once…above and behind and all around.
Jumper
That is how she sees.
Jumper
A shadow passes overhead. She turns her dark eyes to the sky. There are other things in the garden.
Jumper
