Description

The native Prickly Pear cactus of the northeastern United States is found in great abundance in parts of the Sandy Hook, NJ Wilderness areas. In winter they look awful, purple and deflated along the ground. Here in late spring they are plump, green and loaded with gorgeous golden blossoms.

The open flowers are filled with beetles of various types, contently lazing deep among the stamens. I didn't see any large bees except among the honeysuckles that share the habitat.
