No, it is not, I don't think. Maybe President Bush is on Yahoo's Questions and Answers, maybe he'll read this and answer it.

Real jumping beans get their movement from a grub that grows inside the bean, therefore importing parasitical insects is illegal in the U.S.

I would say no, because if the seed has a worm inside, or lets call it a parasite, then the seed will never grow.
The worm uses the seed for its home and food.
There is no chance the seed will grow. The worm may come out of the seed, but they can cross the border with no passport anyway, so whats the difference?

I have seen them sold in stores but I think it falls under the category of plants so probably yes it is illegal. (they are actually little worms n the middle of a seed).
