Clutch #2 hatching, slightly bitter-sweet...

Pastel butter x spider clutch all pipped finally, with a couple out of the egg! Looks to be much better odds than my first clutch, and I think I hit the triple gene on this one...

The first out was teeny tiny, so I looked in the egg to find it was actually twins! Sadly from the looks of it, I dont think the second baby has survived :( No deformity but no movement either...

Here is the surviving twin. What do people think? Queenbee or butter spider? :confusd:

So far 2 bumblebees, 1 butter, 1 butter pastel & a possible queenbee. 2 left to come, both have the spider gene too :gj:

Excellent! Congrats... :)

Very nice, congrats!

Oh man, the body is saying queenbee to me, but the head is saying butter spider. Can I vote for revisting the question after first shed? Nice animal either way, congrats on a lovely clutch!

I see a butter spider!

Thanks guys. If I've learnt 1 thing through this breeding season it has been I suck at identifying combos.

I think I agree, last baby out, and it's defo a lot whiter with a much more 'pastel' head...

Beautiful!

Nice babies! Nice odds...

Now that you have two to compare, voting butter spider for the first and queenbee for the second (much more convincing head). Congrats on a beautiful clutch!
