Looking for cochineal
 

Hi y'all. I'm looking for cochineal infestations so that I can gather the
bugs for my fiber dyeing projects.

In years past I've had good luck finding plenty of bugs in town, but not so
this year. I've found only a few infestations, and they were scant. I'm
north-central, but I'll travel for good picking. Spineless cacti preferred
but again, I can't be too picky given how little cochineal I'm finding this
year...
