Help identifying bel complex hatchlings

Hi everyone,

So we paired out Blue eyed Lucy to a Bumblebee Male this year and produced an interesting set of hatchlings.

Previously we believed the mum to be a super Lesser. This was based on what we produced last year when we paired her to the super fire Male and hatched 3 of what everyone agreed were Fire lessers at the time.

Interesting it would appear she is not a super Lesser but instead another combination.

I was hoping someone could help identify these babies and hopefully we can backtrack and identify what she is.

Two have not yet shed so I’ll add more pictures of them as soon as they have shed.

Thanks everyone in advance for the help!!!

Based on this hatchling your female is likely a Lesser Mojave

What would you identify the hatchlings as?

You have a Mojave in this clutch so Deb is right.

I agree, I see Mojave in at least one of those. The last two kind of have me confused though because I'm not sure I see Mojave or lesser in those two so I'm interested to see what others ID them as.

I take that back, they could be Mojave pastel

Here is what I think they are:
Lesser bee
Pastave
Spider
Bumblebee
Pastels

If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me lol

Beautiful hatchlings! Since one parent was a BEL, doesn't that mean every hatchling will be at least a butter/ Mojave?

Depends on what made the BEL...

I think you are misunderstanding her. She is observing that every hatchling must be one of the het BluEL morphs because the parent is a BluEL. In this case, since we are assuming the BluEL is Mojave/Lesser, every baby will have to be, at a minimum, either a Mojave and/or Lesser
