Did you know that the worms inside Mexican Jumping Beans weave a silk wall if their beans are broken? Or that they avoid light and heat? Or that they taste horrible in a burrito? Learn all this and more in this video from the BBC and then head over to MyPetBeans where they sell a tin of beans for $10. I just bought some for my kid(s).

I never heard about the silk repairs but we always used heat to make them jump when I was a kid.
Did anyone else find this video oddly creepy?
Definitely, that wooden dummy reminded me of the one from that old Twilight Zone episode.
