Mexican Jumping Beans are actually beans which contain the larvae of a specific moth which resides in Mexico. Jumping Beans only need two things to survive: An occasional drink of water, and exercise.

To give your bean water, lightly mist it with lukewarm water once a week. Allow the water to soak into the bean, and after 5 or 10 minutes remove any excess water with a paper towel. Don't leave water on the bean because it may grow mold, and then cause them to die.

To give your bean exercise, give them some light and/or slight heat to get them active and jumping. Don't expose your beans to extremely hot temperatures like your car, or in cold places like your refrigerator.

Allow your beans to rest, because they do get tired. Don't shake them violently, or drop them on the ground because that could kill the worm inside.

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.
