Someone working with Black back gene?

I've got some interesting result from the past year Lesser X Spider clutch, and I repeated the pairing once again. Now I'm sure something going on, and from few different sources the Black back gene suspected. Till now I didn't crossed someone who have, had or breed Black back. If you have/had the gene, or know something about someone who saw someone who had that gene, please light me up with some info.

Here is the strangest lesser girl from the clutch. If need more pics (parents, siblings, clutch before), I can upload also.

The problem with black back just like reduced pattern is that some are genetic some are not.

I have hatched black back over the years however I have never pursue it to find out whether it was genetic or not

Last black back animal I have hatched is this, neither of the parents were black backs and that result was unexpected.

Thanks Deb! Nice baby.
Yep, cause of that I thought at the past year that the results are just random diversity, but now I know, it's genetic for sure. I have those "anomalies" two years in a row with several hatchlings. In the genetic Black back part I'm less confident, cause I never saw an example in person. The sire suspected as black back lesser, but I must be sure it's not the dame who carry the thing.

Thanks Cletus!

Just a bump, cause no one showed up who working with the gene. Maybe few more pictures can help to clarify.



Different Lesser bees from the past year (same pairing) This year got almost the same result with 2 striped and 1 regular LB

I have Het Reds and Lace Black Backs that are really nice genetic black backed animals.
