Lesser vs. Butter?

[rabernet]

That second lesser is absolutely stunning, Robin. The blushing is phenomenal. I stand reaffirmed that I will just look for the best represented morph, not necessarily a butter or a lesser by name lol.

That's exactly what I did. It did take me almost 2 years to find him - he was my first lesser that I added to my collection (and fingers crossed will be breeding this season). I knew that I wanted a completely reduced pattern, black back lesser. The day his breeder posted hatch pictures of his clutch, I contacted him to find out if it was a male and for sale! LOL

That said, I am currently keeping my eyes open for a butter female, if for no other reason than to see if I can see any differences in my own collection between the two. Although I still maintain they are essential the same thing - just as different lines of pastels are still pastels.
