What makes jumping beans jump ?
My little cousin came over for halloween to go trick or treating in our neighborhood. He brought some of those jumping beans and accidentally left them at my house and have been driving me crazy ! They have already caused me several headaches and bought a justin bieber cd using my credit card. Can you just explain to me how they work ?
The thing that makes these beans jump is a tiny moth larvae that lives inside the bean. The moth lays its eggs in the flower of the plant, and the eggs are incorporated into the seeds. The larvae then eat out the interior of the bean and live there. When the larvae move, so does the bean. Eventually, the larvae turn into moths that emerge from the beans to repeat the cycle.
Why Do They Jump?
What makes a jumping bean so jumpy is the larva of a small grey moth that has burrowed inside the seed pod and eaten the seed.
Once the seed is gone, this larva has a peculiar fondness for leaping about inside the empty pod, making its new home jump and roll from place to place.
These larva even rig up a network of silk lining inside the pod, to help transfer more jumping energy into the seed pod wall and make it hop and roll farther.
But, Why Do These Larvae Want to Jump?
Jumping beans tend to jump more when they are warmed up. In fact, the heat of your palm is enough to start that larva wiggling.
It’s quite possible that they jump in order to get their seed pod out of the hot desert sun–and into a shadow perhaps. After all, these larvae stay inside the seed pods for months, waiting to change into adult moths.
They may jump to avoid being roasted! A search on YouTube for “Mexican Jumping Beans” turns up many results, such as this one:
