Even doing this several times would not prove there isn't a Super due to those annoying probabilities. You'd be able to say, "Well, it's highly unlikely there's a Super," but that's about it.
tho there are no numbers, this has already happened, between when spiders first hit the sceen and combo morphs dealing with spiders like bubble i mean bumblebees, we are at the "well, its highly unlikely" point.

2. If Super Spiders die in the egg, then why aren't there pictures of those? I would think if a breeder were trying to produce a Super Spider, he would be checking those eggs that die during incubation to see if they look any different or not. Even if the Super dies before the pattern appears, we could still do some statistics of the number of dead eggs in Spider x Spider clutches and see if we get ~25% egg mortality rate. Again, it wouldn't be certain proof, but it would be good enough to come to a conclusion, at any rate. Again, if I were a breeder, I would want to be keeping track of this so I know when to stop wasting time on it.
how many people do you know take pictures of dead things in eggs? and it would look just like a normal spider, so whats that prove anyways?

3. If Super Spiders don't exist at all for some reason (or if the eggs get reabsorbed, etc.), there would be no way of proving that, either, unless we had some way of showing that every, single Spider offspring only has one Spider gene.
it being dominate (which seems to be the most likly case at this point) is the reason they wouldn't exist. and your right there is no way of 100% proving it unless we dig into decoding snake DNA and testing unborn spiders and seeing what happens to them.
