Photos from my most recent clutch to hatch (Bumblebee x Pastel)

So two weeks ago, the motherboard on my desktop decided to fail on me. As a result I have been unable to post photos to my website since then, so I haven't been able to post any photo updates on the forum. Anyway, I finally was able to back up my website files from my hard drive and get the website transferred to my laptop so I can start updating it again.

Anyway, a couple days after my desktop decided to turn into a large paperweight, I had a clutch hatch from bumblebee x pastel, and I am proud to say I finally hit my first killer bee from this pairing. Third time's the charm I suppose. Out of 9 eggs, I got the following: 1.0 killer bee, 3.1 bumblebee, 1.0 super pastel, 1.1 pastel, 0.1 normal. Anyway, here are some photos:

Thanks for looking!

Lovely, Russ! Congrats :)

They're all beautiful, love the super pastel, and that normal is nice too. Love the pattern on her!

Love those babies, they are beautiful! The super pastel male and bumblebee male #2 are my faves. :)

Congrats!

Thanks guys! While I was really hoping for another killer bee (or at least a female super pastel), I am still pretty pleased with the outcome of this clutch.

Stupid question but killer be is a super pastel spider correct?

Yep, 1:8 shot at them from this particular pairing. Out of 18 eggs so far from my male bumblebee to my 2 breeder pastel girls since 2009, I have only hatched this one. I'll have more pastel females up to size for next season though, so I should have a chance to make more next year (assuming my male fire pinstripe isn't up to size by then, in which he'd be visiting all of my pastel girls).
