Wiki on carmine:
"A deep crimson dye is extracted from the female cochineal insects. Cochineal is used to produce scarlet, orange and other red tints. ... The insects are killed by immersion in hot water (after which they are dried) or by exposure to sunlight, steam, or the heat of an oven. ... It takes about 70,000 insects to make one pound of cochineal dye."
