Abstract
We consider the space of generic complex 5-degree polynomials. Critical values of such polynomial, i.e. four points in the complex plane, either are vertices of a convex quadrangle , or vertices of a triangle with one point inside . The inverse image of is a tree-like connected structure of five ovals (a cactus). The inverse image of is also a cactus, but of four ovals. Transformations of cacti of the first type into cacti of the second type and vice versa allow one to represent the space as a ribbon bipartite graph of genus 3.
