I always wondered. If moths and butterflies have memories of being a caterpillar. If they even have memories like that. Does it remember the door it cut? Or does it just find it cause it's the only place to get out of a tiny seed pod?

R. I. P. to all the larvae that got stuffed somewhere and forgotten about. I used to have some of these beans, and even I don't remember where they went. That was in a different house many years ago, but still.

One time i opened a pea pod and one of the peas inside had a beetle eating its way out from the inside. As a child i concluded that this was the life cycle of the beetles. they grow from trees and then hatch out of pods.

My father told me about a lady at work who had some (in Australia. She said they hatched into moths. I wondered now if they affect Australias biosecurity laws but they only lived for 3 days.

Lol. When I was a kid in the 60's/70's and we went on vacation to Texas, every gas station counter was full of tiny cases of these things. Roadside trinkets to keep the kids quiet

Oh my God, it is such a relief to know the jumping beans I had as a kid lived their best life, I have carried the guilt of them not hatching for 30 years
Bless you

Mexican Jumping Bean = Shrub seed containing one moth larvae
I saw these in Looney Tunes or something like that. I always thought they were some kind of myth.

The fact it makes a circle with it's mandibles before it loses them is astonishing to me. Along with other behaviours it's a fascinating creature.

At first glance, I thought the seed was jumping on it's own but it was just the caterpillar dancing around inside to get away from the heat.

Okay but how does the jumping bean proliferate? It's not made clear. Is there still a seed left in the shell of the jumping bean?

Would the species be able to live without the bean plant? Its so amazing that they depend on a plant like that to live

If you eat a Mexican jumping bean, the effect on your brain will leave you mentally inferior and a ward of the state.

Atheists are surely lining up to explain how this evolved incrementally. Right?
Come on, someone educate us.

I dream of a world where beans can jump without having their motives questioned and ethnicities mentioned.
