Flapdoodle,
You're MARVELOUS!!! This HAS to be it, even though it's said to
feed exclusively on 'Opuntia' Cactus, (Prickly Pear Cactus). Mine is a Parodia, species mammulosa ssp. brasilensis, according to Davi.
There's exceptions to every rule, right?
This website you sent me focus' on the Las Vegas and surrounding
Mohave Desert. What's better than that?

Flapdoodle, Thank you SO MUCH for going the extra mile for me and
taking a second look. Even though Cactus pests are not your forte,
you FOUND it!
Some people just have a knack for locating information on the web
and else where. Maybe it's your inquisitive nature in nature....

I know you've seen it, but here's some photos from that website that
your viewers might enjoy.
