The scale insect Dactylopius coccus produces the brilliant red-coloured carminic acid to deter predators. Up to 100,000 scale insects are needed to make a kilogram (2.2 lbs) of cochineal dye. [47] [48] A similarly enormous number of lac bugs are needed to make a kilogram of shellac, a brush-on colourant and wood finish. [49]

[6] The larvae too are predatory, making owlflies important in maintaining a natural ecological balance and helping to control pest insects. [7] Adults of many New World species are most active at sunset, and can often be collected near lights.
