That's true, but it isn't linked to any one color or pattern gene.

Thanks Connie,
I noticed my bumble bee doing this the other day and it kind-of freaked me out. Glad to hear that its common in spiders.

What does this mean? Or I guess how do you make a Pearl that isn't 'pure'? It says in the description on NERDs website that they have produced 2 from "Woma X Woma breedings". Have the two they produced not survived?

By adding in another gene. Like say spider or lesser or something.

Re: Genetic Defects
I appreciate the posts but most of the stuff everyone is mentioning is over my head at this point. Can everyone explain things in layman's terms.

Re: Genetic Defects
Ah...So there are super woma lessers or something out there? Does anyone know why they die, or is it just a 'failure to thrive' kinda thing?
As for the spiders and spinning, this is a good thread about it. There are many other threads on it, but this one seems to be a good collection of opinions.
