Most CD's have a label side that consists of various forms of spray-on plastics (usually refered to as laquers, even though no uses the little ground up beetles anymore to make true laquer)...Lacquer never was made of ground up beetles.
"True lacquer" or what's often called Japan lacquer, is made from the sap of the Japanese lacquer tree (Rhus Vernicifera). Not beetles.
What you're thinking of, more properly called shellac, is made from the resinous excretion of the larvae of the Lac Beetle (Coccus Lacca). No beetles or larvae are ground up except perhaps by accident.
The excretion is simply scraped from the trees on which the larvae feed. And it's still readily available even today.
