Found this bee stuck on a cactus needle a few days ago. I didn't really think too much of it as I had seen bees stuck like that before. Kind of weird - I mean, did it not see the cactus? was it evading a predator? Did the wind blow so hard as to impale it on a spine?
Then today I was trimming up a cholla and saw this leaf hopper stuck on a needle. It was still alive! At least the legs were still moving a bit. I don't think it was terribly happy to be alive being stuck by its head and all. But again, you have to wonder how it got there? And how long had it been there??
