Red dye can be made from a variety of sources, such as plant extracts like beets or insects like cochineal bugs. Synthetic red dyes are often derived from petroleum-based chemicals. Each source produces different shades of red dye depending on the specific compounds used in the process.
Various natural materials such as leaves, twigs, mud, and plant fibers are commonly used by insects to construct nests. Additionally, some insects may repurpose existing structures such as burrows, holes, or crevices to serve as nests for their larvae or colony.
Cochineal is a natural red dye made from crushed female cochineal insects. These insects do not contain blood as we typically think of it, but they do contain a pigment called carminic acid which produces a vibrant red color when extracted.

The Cochineal is an insect used to make carmine dye, a red tint. In various forms it is used to dye fabrics, cosmetics, paints, food coloring for cheeses, yogurts, alcohol, and baked goods. The dye is created from either drying and pulverizing the bodies of the insects, or boiling the dried bodies in which various compounds and elements are added to create the dye. This is not considered a Kosher food in Muslim and Jewish cultures.
