It is an insect that is installed as a parasite on the prickly pear leaves (Opuntia Ficus cactil), whose sap is fed through an oral stylet. Its reproduction takes place in the same plant which hosts forming colonies. The natural colouring extracted from cochineal, contains two substances: carmine and carminic acid, which are harmless to man, so it is recommended as a natural colouring.
