How does a Mexican jumping bean work?
Mexican jumping beans are not actually beans, but rather the seed capsules of a shrub. Inside the seed capsule, a larva of a small moth is present, and as the larva moves, it causes the bean to jump. The movement is a response to heat, which triggers the larva's muscles to contract, making the bean jump.

Can you plant Mexican jumping beans?
They jump because there is a moth larvae inside them. The moth lays its eggs in the flower, and the larvae then grow inside the bean, and eat the center out. They live there inside the bean and when they move, the bean moves. A benefit to the bean jumping is that when a bird is hungry it might want to eat the bean, but when it sees it jumping, it scares the bird. Then later they turn into moths that come out of the bean.

How do Mexican jumping beans jump?
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.
