MEXICAN JUMPING BEAN

[isntthatabummer]

That's pretty cool, but I still hate them... because I find them super creepy, and I would like to torch one.... For whatever reason. Hmm.... harsh.

[hotmama5717]

Now I don't want a jumping bean the moth kinda freaks me out lol

[TrollMaster5]

I wonder who the original mexican was who thought that these were actual beans and decided to eat them

[TheCheriLife]

I made a video about jumping beans too! :D

[picklemonman]

that is freaking awesome!!!

[firegoddess619]

why are they still moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hannahcro15]

To tell u the truth, I personally think that it's absolutely gross. And it looks like something my 12 year old cousin would have. (FYI, she likes to have bugs as pets!!!!)

[Jessymay91]

Thumbs up if Karl bought you here!

[milkymoo35]

[D3mine]

[MrFu210Cur]

so everybody is looking at this because of "An Idiot Abroad"?:))

[awesomeoneXD]

My mom said that if i get one and it hatches that i have to kill it with fire. : (

[SuperSenescence]

Lol nice music

[Haley24x7]

lolol my brother convinced my mother into buying jumping beans at the dollar store and i just showed her this and she's like "when they hatch they're gettin the fuck out of my house!" xD

[LIMEANATORS2011S]

I understand that the egg laying is done in the flower, when polinization takes place the eggs end up inside the baby bean pods.

[dandna2000]

@LIMEANATORS2011S that is absolutely correct! It seems that the eggs are layed on the ovules of plant and the larvae enter the bud and in hardens around them!! FANTASTIC!! Our students cannot believe how much we've been learning about these little phenomenas!!

Karl Pilkington brought me here.

[minimartin3]

This was really interesting =)

[nybellisima1999]

I spray my jumping beans with a water bottle every week or so. Is that too much water for them, or is that alright? Also, I know that the time a bean hatches may vary, but when does an average bean hatch?

[AngelicOblivion90]

Mexican jumping beans are actually from the Mexican desert, NOT rainforests. But you did get the most of the facts right though.

[dandna2000]

@AngelicOblivion90 Hi there! Thank you for not only watching, but being observant and catching that...I love when my students find these little mistakes!! Number one it exemplifies the amount of misinformation that exists and also displays human error! It also encourages us not to take everything for face value but to INVESTIGATE and RESEARCH and draw our OWN conclusions!! We are never too old or too young to LEARN!! Thanks again and keep learning!! :)

@resolona2007 I got my jumping beans at the dollar store

[TheMizzprincess1991]

How long does it take to hatch?

[dandna2000]

@TheMizzprincess1991"The larva may live for months inside the bean with varying periods of dormancy. If the larva has adequate conditions of moisture and temperature, it will live long enough to go into a pupal stage. Normally, in the spring, the moth will force its way out of the bean through a round "trap door", leaving behind the pupal casing. The small, silver and gray-colored moth will live for only a few days." via wikipedia

[resolana2007]

were did you get it cause i want to buy some

[chrizzjizz]

isnt it amazing how these little guys know exactly what to do...i mean, they were born inside of a enclosed bean with no light, no sound...Nothing!...yet, they know to repair cracks with silk if broken, and to follow all the processes needed to become the moth ...i love life and all its mysteries...

[dandna2000]

@chrizzjizz Our natural world/universe never ceases to amaze me and that's why I am the luckiest in the world to have a great job investigating all this phenomena!! But the great news is thats what we all can do!! THANKS AND KEEP LEARNING!!!

[JugglingForCake]

@chrizzjizz ...just like our babies know they have to breastfeed ^^ but its true they're not close to knowing how to build their own house haha

[1dubgal]
