morph insects?
I was looking in at my dubias today, and noticed how much fresh shed dubias look almost as if they're albino.
It got me thinking, has there ever been documented albinism or other color mutations in insects, especially feeders?
Just imagine the possibilities. I think I want a tub full of hot pink colored dubias

Re: morph insects?
I'm not sure but that would be really neat. I did a quick google search and couldn't find any info on it. I'm sure there has to be some kind of color mutations out there somewhere, maybe not in captive feeder colonies, but somewhere.

Good ol silkworms!
They come in Normal, Zebra, and reverse zebra. And then theres the not so much a morph morphs, they look like normal silkworms but they spin different colored cocoons. Like Green, pink, and gold. Im guessing the colored ones are how they get certain colored silks. they sell the eggs here, Ive gotten the Zebra silks before, and a few gold spinners.

We occasionally find albino crickets in shipments at work. They're pretty cool looking!

They're likely not albinos. Freshly shed crickets are white in color, it can take several hours for them to color up.
