Here is another attempt to get the colors right under the microscope camera.  The background is brown cardboard.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

Update.  I pulled her out of the dark drawer and checked her test tube today.  She has one egg and is quite active.  She has removed her wings.  Back to the dark drawer.
