This time of year, a unique little spectacle comes to life: African jumping beans start moving! (Some would call it magic)They come from the Tamboti tree (Spirostachys africana). Inside each seed is a tiny moth larva (Emporia melanobasis), and when it wiggles, the whole seed jumps—sometimes several centimeters into the air. On hot days, the tree’s three-lobed pods burst open, releasing these fascinating little “beans.” Here are some on a plate. | The Hidden Valley

Full of beans!!!! This is something quite extraordinary. Every year at a certain time the seeds of the Tamboti tree come to life. The fruit of this tree gets invested with a larvae of a small grey moth during its development. Once matured, the seeds split into segments and drop to the ground. At this point the larvae is at its final stage of development and causes this erratic dance of the segmented seed which looks similar to Pop corn. It was really fascinating to watch and listen to this natur

The magnificent trees that paint the landscape of Kapama show just how miraculous nature is, and the beauty that surrounds our unique Reserve. The Tamboti tree is sometimes referred to as the “jumping bean tree” due to a fascinating natural interaction with a small grey moth. The moth lays its eggs inside the developing fruit, where the larvae grow. Once the fruit drops to the ground, the larvae react to warmth by contracting and shifting inside the seed capsule, causing the segments to twitch a

Tamboti Trees (Spirostachys africana) are the one tree we do not braai (bbq) with as it is poisonous. The smoke from the wood can make humans very sick if you eat the meat from this fire. It is also known as the Jumping Bean Tree because its seeds become infested with the larvae of a small grey moth called the Grey Snout Moth (Emporia melanobasis) which causes the seed to jump around. The larvae of the moth enters the fruit/seed while it is still green. When the fruits mature it splits into 3 pa

The tamboti tree, Spirostachys africana, is a medium-sized (about 10 metres tall) deciduous tree with a straight trunk that is usually clear of lower branches. It belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae and is found in the warmer regions of Southern Africa. Although it is not rare, it can be a difficult tree to find unless you are in the right area and habitat. #lowveld #bushveld #naturegeek #wildnature #botany #botanizing #tree #trees #treesoftiktok #biology #nature #tamboti | Derek Keats
