I agree Pheidole, but 3mm seems a little small. Location?

There's a lot of that going around today. Try placing her on a damp tissue in a container with a lot of space momentarily.

Something is likely wrong with something she is in contact with in whatever you're keeping her in. Glass test tubes are best, plastic test tubes are okay and usually don't cause problems. You should be using cotton to hold the water in the tube and also as a cap to her test tube. If you were using a plastic or rubber cap, get rid of it.

Next question what is the yellow in your hand there? Is she in a straw or something? Is that honey water?
