    Congrats, very nice clutch. Does the killer have a ringer? The pattern looks distorted towards the tail. Correction on your odds it's a 1 in 8 chance of hitting a killer or sterling when a pewter or bee is bred to a pastel.

    You are correct on the odds. The 1 in 16 was factoring both genders. I.E. -- If the eighth egg was a female, you would statistically have to go to egg 16 to get the male -- in theory.:)

    The Killer has a very "scattered" pattern over the last third of his body. Kind of looks "Pinstripish". Maybe that is how a ringer presents on a Killer? Thanks for the kind words.;)

    Amazing...I love the Sterling and the Super and the Killer Bee and the bumble bees...

    CONGRATS!

    I should not leave out the normals... the ones from a clutch like this somtimes have some unusual characteristics to be seen later...

    The end of my year has been pretty great. Between this clutch, the Butter Belly clutch -- and in between those two I hatched a couple Fireflies which proved a captive hatched Fire male.:D

    I have had a few "rough" clutches as well.:( A Bee x Pastel clutch of six eggs produced 2 Normals, 3 male Pastels, and a Killer Bee that was mildly kinked, didn't fully absorb his yolk, and died in the egg. I made the mistake of popping HIM!!!! Of course it was a male!! I guess it does even out in the end.;) I have learned during my first year breeding not to count your morphs/combos before they are hatched.:colbert:

    Best of luck to everyone in the upcoming season!!!:gj:
