this particular bug has juice that is used for coloring.
What is the scientific name for the bug that is used in tropicana's ruby red grapefruit juice?
havent researched it but i know that carmine (a crimson dye) is obtained from the shells of cochineal (a scale insect similar to a beetle). The dye has many uses from colouring garments to food colouring
that may be the one your thinkin of
the latin name is Dactylopius coccus
