Inside Mexican Jumping Beans looks like tiny worms, but they are actually moth larva. Female Jumping Bean moth called Laspeyresia saltitans lay her eggs on capsules of a desert shrub native only to Mexico, and after they are hatched, they will eat its way inside the flower's capsule. Over time the capsules turn brown and hardens. Once trapped inside these capsules, these larva/worms eats the developing seed inside the shrub's capsule moving for food for several months, until it become still or dormant as the worms/larva begins to spin a cocoon inside the capsule during their metamorphosis state, until a moth emerges.

∙ 12y agoThere are two they can die. Jumping beans need to be soaked in chlorine free water twice monthly. If you submerge them in the water, they will die. They need only be soaked for 3 hours at a time. Left in heat, such as the sun, or hot lamp, they will also die.

How HIGH can the best jumping spider jump How FAR can the best jumping spider jump?
Jumping spiders can jump horizontally about 25 times their body length. The average jumping spider is about 10mm or less, so that's really not that far (about one foot). That distance is only achieved when they are fleeing something, though. Most regular, non-pressured jumps are just a few centimeters in distance. (source: Biology of Spiders by Rainer Foelix)I'm not sure how high they can jump, though. Can't be that high...
