Beetles are rare enemies that can be found in different biomes .
There are three types of beetle: The Cochineal Beetle that spawns in the Cavern layer , the Cyan Beetle that spawns in the Underground Snow biome and the Lac Beetle that spawns in the Underground Jungle biome. They respectively drop the Red Husk , the Cyan Husk and the Violet Husk which can be used to respectively make the Red Dye , the Cyan Dye , and Violet Dye .
They are all immune to the Confused debuff .

Notes
Despite their primary purpose being to provide dye crafting material, these can do substantial damage, especially to players who mistake them for passive Critters .
The Cyan Beetle 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 more rare in the Console version .
Trivia
The Cochineal Beetle and the Lac Beetle exists in real life , but they are a scale insect, not a beetle. It secretes lac, which can be used as dye or converted into shellac, a brush-on colorant, food glaze and wood finish.
