Shadow of a small camouflaged spider on the leaf of a prickly pear cactus (opuntia rufida) #286962181
Description
Opuntia rufida is a prickly pear cactus native to southwestern Texas and northern Mexico, where it grows on rocky slopes. The species makes up for its total lack of spines with a profusion of red-brown glochids. The common name blind prickly pear or cow blinder comes from the fact that the glochids may be carried away by the wind and blind animals.
