    Serves him right; everybody knows that climbing the Great Pyramid is forbidden! Vigilant ladybugs guard our cultural heritage, something more needed than ever these days! Hail, Vigilante Ladybug!

    Slap the man down! Slap them all down! Bitches (as it seems)!

    Seems I’m emerging from some kind of time warp. It’s comforting to know that ladybugs are still ascendant.

    The cochineal is a scale insect in the suborder Sternorrhyncha, from which the natural dye carmine is derived. A primarily sessile parasite native to tropical and subtropical South America through North America, this insect lives on cacti in the genus Opuntia, feeding on plant moisture and nutrients.

    Carminic acid, typically 17-24% of dried insects’ weight, can be extracted from the body and eggs, then mixed with aluminium or calcium salts to make carmine dye, also known as cochineal. Today, carmine is primarily used as a colorant in food and in lipstick (E120 or Natural Red 4).
