Or set the Foblets a science project to find a way to make the tree genetically modify the baby wasps for the greater good -turn them into mosquita-eatas or something

Yep and yep. Knew about carmine, and hey - I'm a Canuck. How could I not know about castoreum? ;)

I didn't know the name castoreum, but I was aware of it in a vague way.

I did know about spermaceti. It startled me. I began checking cosmetics and toiletries labels more closely after that. Animals may die so I can live, but I don't want them killed for my lipsalve.
