  3. Are mexican jumping beans alive? Yes they are alive. The larvae will live in the bean for about 3 months and come out as a moth.

  4. Why do mexican jumping beans 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.

After all, these larvae stay inside the seed pods for months, waiting to change into adult moths. They may jump to avoid being roasted!
