Insects are recognized by their hard skeleton on the outside; compound eyes; three identifiable body parts as a head, thorax, and abdomen; three pairs of jointed legs; and two antennae. Their members are among the pests and stressors of cactus plants. Examples of cactus insect pests include cactus or nopal moth caterpillars[Cactoblastis cactorum], cochineal insects [Dactylopius coccus], mealy bugs [Pseudococcidae family], pussy willow backed cactus thorned caterpillars, root mealy bugs [Phylloxera spp], and vine weevils [Otiorhynchus spp].
