If you’ve ever been up close and personal with a cactus, you (ouch!) know that (yeow!) it takes a pretty tough critter to crawl all over one. Permit me to introduce you to the fig beetle. Not only does it like to do the cactus crawl, it also munches on them. This one’s chowing down on a rabbit ears cactus…
