D. It looks like honey or some sort of nectar.

I think option A looks the most natural because insect honeydew and plant nectar are both clear solutions.

 

Although I would like to get other colors because I want colorful Myrmecocystus repletes.

In my opinion option A looks a little too dark for honeydew. To me honeydew appears to be a little more clear.

How many aphids have you guys milked?  You guys realize that to assess the color of a liquid you need a LOT of it, right?

 

Aphid secretions might be green for all we know.

That's what I just said...  A was the closest to what I thought to be natural.

 

I'm going off of what the professor at my campus who studies aphids said.  I believe what she said was just anecdotal though.
