The rabbit flea Spilopsyllus has a mass of 0.45 mg. It can jump vertically to aheight of about 3.5 cm. Biologists have hypothesized that the energy for the jump is most likely derived from the elastic potential energy stored in the resilin pads ofthe two rear legs of the flea. Each pad is estimated to have a volume of about and its strain typically reaches a value of 100%. The elastic modulus of resilience is about . Is the hypothesis plausible
