spider head patterns

[mumps]

You all seem to know your way around spiders & bees, so who better to answer a question or lend advice.

I am looking for a female to eventually pair with my male Pastel. I found a breeder who is selling a high (really high actually) white with yellow along the middle 09 spider female, around 200 grams, and is willing to sell it to me for $160. Would you all consider this a good deal? If need be, PM me for photos, but I didn't think I could post the sellers photos on here...

I hope to create high-white bees, so would the high-white on the female spider help with that? Is it even a desirable characteristic? Thanks guys

If it's an '09 and 200 grams, it is probably not the most reliable feeder.

Be wary.
