nino and leopold brazillian jumping bugs. Nino and Leopold are handheld wire and plastic ''Brazilian jumping bugs'' that make great small gifts for all ages. Press the suction cup onto a table or the floor, wait for them to spring up and try to catch them or just surprise your friends. Designers Chico Bicalho and Isabella Torquato got the inspiration for Nino and Leopold from the small, brightly colored bugs in the rainforest in their native Brazil.
