I doubt it very much ... each group of animals seem to have eyes tuned to detect different groups of light frequencies and insects have extra adaptations to see in the ultraviolet end of the spectrum, I believe. You have to remember that "colour" is a human concept that we use to express how our brains perceive a particular (small) part of the light spectrum What insects are capable of detecting is bound to be different and how their eyes & brains resolve those images is bound to be very different indeed
