Figure 6.

The colony raised by queen Mel–08 collected at Crescent City, California in March 1988 (see Figure 4 and Table 3). This red queen is inferred to be heterozygous (R/r) and mated to a black male (r). In this photograph the colony is at a fairly early stage of development and the coloration of only four red and one black worker can be seen clearly. High quality figures are available online.
