I notice they jump around a lot after watering them with a light coat of water. This made me question if I'm being cruel to them. After reading this article I feel very sad for these poor creatures.They should simply be left alone...now that I have a few with me, I will care for them like I would care for any other living being. I hope they hatch out and complete their life cycle. One thing I'm curious about though, why is the water making them jump? Do they like or not like being watered? Is it good for them if they are jumping are not jumping? I want to make sure I do things to make them comfortable rather than cause them harmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14844325307054077216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397911622564132859.post-72444659452746254882016-09-14T11:07:39.471-07:002016-09-14T11:07:39.471-07:00Agreed!

I was fascinated listening and watching a whole display of them. But when I got home and started thinking about them, hearing them click away on the sides of their 'cage', I felt uneasy. I discovered that the larvae inside are avoiding the heat/warmth - and that is why they 'jump'. I now think it is cruel to keep them. I researched to find anyone like-minded and found this blog. I think like many mindless, unthinking acts of cruelty to humans and animals, we are hurting these larvae. I get the sense that we are kinda 'torturing' them. That they should stay in their environment to get food when they hatch (the plant is only found in their region) and to be allowed to reproduce. Even if they live for only a few days, that's their business. Let's be humane.

I'm not sure if the larva suffers from being shipped and sold, perhaps some of them hatch out and come to infest whole new landscapes they never would have found had they been left on the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397911622564132859.post-32063640949282183102008-01-19T18:44:00.000-08:002008-01-19T18:44:00.000-08:00We didn't have Thrifty and Discount Drug in the Mi...We didn't have Thrifty and Discount Drug in the Midwest, but we did have the Mexican Jumping Beans.
