Then, I attended to the usual suspects, probably Boxelder Bugs, Eastern Boxelder Bugs (Boisea trivittata). Generally, they hang out on the garage foundation and wall, but this time I caught some on the prickly pear cacti:

Robert, It's looking pretty dismal here too insect wise, and I'm only an hour southwest, not much difference in climate--CHILLY now. Box elders are unstoppable and would survive a nuclear blast I have a Boxelder tree and one year there were literally thousands of them. Luckily it's further from the house but they still get inside the windows for warmth.

"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
