Size: little less than 1 in
So the Aussies have made it to Arizona - Eric Eaton found some a while ago - not sure which species he saw. Strangely, I found this one on tumble weed, in an area with nothing but cotton, desert broom, and mesquite. I'm afraid the closest Eucalyptus trees are the ones on our property, about 6 miles south.
