Cochineal extract is made from the dead bodies of small bugs harvested mainly in peru and the Canary Islands. The female Dactylopius Coccus Costa likes to feed on cactus pads, and color from the cactus gathers in her body and eggs. The bugs are collected, dried, and ground up into a coloring additive. It takes about 70,000 of them to make a pound of carmine, which is used to make foods and drinks look pink, red, or purple.
