Bug Dye

This is awesome. My friend just asked me if I’d like to help her turn the bugs that are infesting her cactus into yarn dye. From her description, I think they are scale bugs and I’m trying to remember where I read an article about them. I will need to find it! But not tonight as it’s late and I have to get up earlier than usual to finish packing for my 2 day trip to San Diego to see my college roommate.
