What Lives Inside Mexican Jumping Beans?
🫘🐛
I got my hands on 5 to find out. And what we found inside was INSANE…so we did a little something with what we found.
These beans are found in Mexico and they’re small bean pods of a host flower of a plant. That bean hardens and then falls to the ground and then some magical circumstance makes these things pop on the floor. I’ve never opened one, so I got to work.
