Carmine or cochineal bugs produce a deep and vibrant, shades of red. Currently Peru is the leading provider in harvesting these bugs. They prefer a warm claimant like Peru or Mexico and usually nest on cactus. The red is found not just in Natural dyed fibers, but also in red food dye, such as cake icings or drinks, and it can also be found in red lipsticks.
The color that Carmine can produce can vary from a number of different ways the dye is prepared. One way to create a more intense red is to add cream of tater sauce. Carmine reacts to the tarter sauce's acid by producing a brilliant red.
