Thats a lot of cactus. I didn't know there were different types of prickly pears. The fruit is very interesting. The only fruit I've heard of people eating is the prickly pear but I guess it makes sense that people would figure out a use for every variety. Instead of snug as a bug in a rug, it looks like the cactus bug are pretty comfy and safe just don't rhyme.

Yeah pretty much every species of cacti has a different prickly pear. Many of them are edible and kind of sugary sweet. I looked for the white cactus bugs that are used as red food coloring in various drinks but didn't find any. If you squish the scaly cactus bug it is bright red, perfect for coloring ruby red grapefruit juice lol, "all natural".
