Thorn devils all right. We have prickly pear over here too. It was introduced many years ago and is now considered a noxious weed. It once took over millions of acres of prime agricultural land. In the end it was defeated by a grub. There are memorials to the "
Cactoblastis" grub in several Queensland towns. Some folks still grow it for the fruits and decorative purposes.
who would of thought an insect would defeat the mighty cacti. Thanks for the link Bruce, turns out insects are farmer friends.
