Me and the breeder got him under black light again and all we can see is a clear more pure white going up his sides with the odd faint line near his eyes like the spiders have so I'm 75% certain that's what he has. Only way to find out is to breed him and see if he throws out some lesser bees or bumblebees. I suppose that's part of the fun.

You are correct, it has to do with the light and the angle at which it is entering the eye (also, if you are using any kind of flash.) It is the same as the eyeshine you see in cats sometimes. I have seen this in a number of morphs; BluELs, Banana, Ivory...

The Spider pattern under blacklight is not at all subtle, it is bold and obvious and there would be no question that it was there. Based on your description here I do not think your animal has Spider in it

My BEL (first pic) has the red pupils too, from most of the pictures I've seen of them they tend to have them.

Black eyed Lucy's always have red pupils though (2nd pic) :)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5fdcaf610e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6fc8688175.jpg
