The winner will be crowned this weekend Lincolnshire
A professor at the University of Lincoln with a passion for jumping insects has seen one of his flea videos used in a new Disney film called Chang Can Dunk.
He believes the best flea videos that exist are the ones he took for the Journal of Experimental Biology which is why people, and Disney, often ask to use them.

The filming was used in episodes of Attenborough’s Natural Curiosities with bees in ‘Shocking Sense’ in February 2014 and fleas in ‘Amazing Feats’ in February 2015. The bees episode included Gregory’s research on ‘How bumble bees use their body hairs to detect floral electric fields’. Fleas, froghoppers, grasshoppers, mantis shrimp, and trap-jaw ants “all generate these extremely fast movements by using special latch/spring devices within their bodies,” he adds. He gets the fleas from St Tiggywinkles hedgehog hospital in Buckinghamshire.
A high speed video camera can go up to 10,000 frames a second and as Gregory points out he is “looking at things that take place during the blink of an eye”. He said a grasshopper jump is a third of an eye blink.
