Answer 7

It's really knd of odd--the beans contain larvae of a moth who laid her eggs in a flower on a plant that turned into a bean. These larvae eat out the inside of the bean and when they move around, they make the pod move. Eventually they'll develop into moths and will chew their way outta' the bean.

Here's a good site that explains it better!
