    Spider morphs, ratio of male to female seems high, why?
    We know that some traits in humans and cats are genetically passed on that are tied to the male or female side.
    In cats, a tortishell/calico cat are 99% always female.
    Male pattern baldness comes from the maternal side, but other genetic traits come from the father's side.

    Trying to follow the genetics and color morphs, it seems there is a higher percentage of male spider color morphs that there are females. Is it just the time of year (or this year in particular) or is this an ongoing trait that has been happening for a few years now.

    And with the "star gazing", or other spider weaving traits, are those seen more in males vs females?
    Is any one studying this?
    Just wondering.

    The only reason you may be seeing the male spider pattern morphs more available is that people KEEP the females! :) I know I do.

    As for stargazing, I have not noticed it more in one sex than another.. It just happens.
