I figured if you'd ever hiked off-trail in the Chihuahuan desert through a patch of lechuguilla, you'd remember them. A common name is "shindaggers".

Actually, i most enjoy hiking mountain trails. . . unless it's the Grand Canyon. I can enjoy the desert--but not for hiking. . . as rarely as I get to it any more. Thanks for your kind replies.
