Hardy to extremely cold temperatures, these beetles contain a desired bluish fluid which can be used to dye textiles.

— The Bestiary

The Cyan Beetle is an Enemy that spawns rarely in the Ice biome. When killed, it will always drop the Cyan Husk, which can be used to craft Cyan Dye.

On the  Desktop version, it is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer.

Notes

• It spawns rarely and can be hard to spot due to its small size and blue color which blends well with the Snow Biome. Use of Water Candles, Battle Potions and Hunter Potions is recommended when trying to hunt it for the Cyan Dye.
• The Cyan Beetle seems to be rarer in the  Old-gen console version.
