There is one in the middle of a woman harvesting them. I find it interesting that such a red dye comes out of an insect that's a grayish-white.

Ah I didn't notice that the image could be expanded into much higher res. Still, I'd expect an image of an individual insect for clarity.

Had to look this up on Wikipedia - apparently they look so grey because they're covered in waxy stuff meant to prevent water loss. They're apparently purplish, inside.
