 Good morning. It's the show on KJZZ 91.5. I'm Mark Brody. Coming up, connecting the desert with dessert. A local pastry chef talks about her culinary craft in the desert. But first, if you have paddle cactus in your yard like prickly pear, you may have noticed a white, almost web-like substance on the surface. But what you can't notice, at least just by looking, is that the web conceals a type of bug that's played a critical role in the textile world for a long, long time.
