Mexique - colorations des textiles à la cochenille

La cochenille est un petit insecte que l'on trouve sur certaines plantes au Mexique. Les mâles développent des ailes une fois adulte, ce qui leur permet de quitter la plante. La femelle, elle, développe un acide pour se protéger. Cet acide (acide carminique) est récolté, puis séché au soleil. Ensuite, il est broyé et produit une poudre rouge. Avec du jus de citron, il devient orange éclatant. Avec du bicarbonate de sodium il devient violet.
