    a spider is just a single morph

    a honey bee is a hypo (also known as ghost) spider, its a recessive and dominant.

    i know they are genetically different i was just more curious of the look difference. i guess the price is diff for the recessive and dominent trait thanks

    They look very very different in my opinion.

    Their is a big difference in my opinion. Maybe the pics you were looking out wasn't doing the 2 justice. The first link is a Honey Bee the second is a Spider.

    That comparison picture is good, but Hypo/Ghost ball pythons have a glow in the yellow/orange part of the pattern that just doesn't show up in photographs, ever.

    Really good photos will show how faded the black actually is, but most "point & shoot" cameras try to compensate for the faded black and jack the contrast up so that the black looks normal. Same goes for digital SLR cameras when used in the Auto setting.

    If you've never seen a ghost in person, you really should...they're probably the most underrated color mutation out there (IMO). Most non-snake people who look through my ball pythons are extremely impressed by my female orange ghost...and then they look at a Clown and go "Oh, that one's pretty neat too". lol

    Good honeybees are simply amazing in person!! And they get better with age like ghost/hypos do.
    One of my very favorite morphs.
