Yes, desert bugs eat cactus plants.
Specifically, arid, dry, hot climates are home to bugs as well as to cactus plants. Bugs such as aphids, leaf-footed bugs, and mealy bugs enjoy desert life, where they will attack cactus plants. They will be joined by arachnids such as spider mites and insects such as the cactus moth in its larval stage as a plant-devouring caterpillar.

What types of bugs eat cactus plants?
Bugs are small insects. The two main bugs that attack a cactus plant are mealybugs [Pseudococcus spp] and root mealybugs [Rhizoecus falcifer]. Mealybugs feed on the cactus plant's precious juices that are found in the above ground shoots. Root mealybugs feed on the water and dissolved nutrients that the cactus takes in through its below ground roots. Either way, Both sets of bugs are taking away the fluids that the cactus most needs to survive.
