The ecosystem of the prickly pear attracts bugs -- cochineal insects, gathered for the carmine dye they produce, thrive on the nopalea cochinillefer; black widows, walking sticks, bees, swallowtail butterflies and leaf-footed bugs gather their food or make their homes among the spines. No Nordeste brasileiro, são cultivadas predominantemente duas espécies, a Opuntia ficusindica Mill e a Nopalea cochenillifera Salm Dyck, principalmente as variedades redonda, gigante e miúda, as quais são variedades sem espinhos. |
