What beetle was crushed to make red dye?

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.
