    Hypo is a recessive gene. It means in order to see it visually in the offspring, both parents need to be carrying the gene and they both need to pass it along in the pairing.

    "Het" means they are carrying the recessive gene (and could pass it along to their offspring), but you wouldn't be able to see it visually.

The honeybee pattern is washed almost gray. I think it would be hard for even the worst camera to turn the pattern black. I'm not seeing hypo in these pics at all. The bathroom picture color of looked like it, but obviously the warm white bulbs are distorting the color and the pattern is still pretty black. Hypo is short for hypomelanistic which is a reduction in black.

    I honestly don't even know what I want to see... I think she's beautiful, no matter what she is. I am more just wondering what she is cause she looks nothing like the bumble bee. She's allot lighter than that picture shows. I really can't get a good picture of her. I will see if I can find some expert in the Charleston area in wv and see what they think. Maybe I when I think of black I think of black. She's pretty brown to me but who knows! I know nothing lol just trying to educate myself so I don't sound like a dumbie when I talk about them

    Definitely a spidery type of morph, but not a bumble bee. This is a bumble bee. Your girl is pretty though.

    If there is something there, I would lean more toward fire over hypo. Fire tends to keep the black better. We can say with 100% certainty it is a spider, perhaps there is something else there, but without accurate photo its hard to make that call. You won't feel like a dummy when you say its a spider and i'm sure you will get compliments on how nice it looks for a spider.

    Yeah, she looks nothing like that! At least I've narrowed that part done :) her lines aren't that dark

    Yours is beautiful!

    I'll look at fire pictures :) I haven't heard of that type.
    Would natural daylight help with pictures? I don't have the lights someone had mentioned for pictures. The pictures of her in her bathroom are most like her.
