Thanks Bruce.........it is painful...been hit more than once by this. Husband won't go near it. Fun part is I always hide the easter eggs there for our 15 year old....its the only way he will still do the easter bunny routine.

Thanks Onie. My son gave me this plant when it was 2 inches tall for mother's day before he left for the service. It is now over 8 feet tall, I can tell you it has stopped the kids from pulling up on the lawn!

~~GRIN~~ The title got me also... Very clever and funny to boot Marlyce...:)
The cactus doesn't go by the name *Vlad* does it LOL... if so, the bee didn't stand a chance...
Dad had a smaller variety in the drive way of our family home, right beside the side gate to the rear yard... Colin, husband of 34 yrs, but boyfriend back then, said he was sure it was there just to jump out at him each time he called... ~~GRIN~~ I was forever, with tweezers in hand, searching his legs to pull those vicious needles...
Nice detail in this...:)
Onie...

I think you could use this as a sewing needle if you could drill a small hole for the thread....oh a photo op.........the needle next to regular sewing needles. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks Michele. The needles sprout out small and grow. I took one of the needles to work one day, showed the girls that work with me. I took a pair of levi and folded them over 5 times and put the needle straight thru the jeans. SHARP is an understatment.

Thank you AJ. I tired taking from a different angle, but I lost the spears through the body. The cactus is about 8 feet tall and about 12 feet across...this was a close as I could get and not end up like the bee and still show the impalement.

WoW Marlyce.... You have some dangerous Cactus ! Poor Bee.... that is an amazing shot you got. Do the needles sprout out long like that? I wonder if the Bee just managed to get tangled up by itself ? Great macro shot!!!

Oh, nasty buggy thing! Can't make him out that clearly, but can see that he's been well and truly speared! Very careless!
