 ===== Community Discussion & Citations =====
 The community discussion centers on identifying the cause of localized flesh damage on cactus tips. The consensus strongly points to slugs and snails as the primary culprits, noting their tendency to target soft apical growth during wet weather. Some members discuss the ecological ethics of relocating versus killing the pests. Alternative diagnoses include earwigs, birds (specifically thrashers in Arizona pecking Lophophora), and mites.
