It would take several seasons, at least 4 or 5, with this male being bred to as many non-spider carrying females as possible and each and every one producing nothing but spider and spider cross offspring to say without doubt it was a super. Perhaps it is simply no one wants to make that big an effort ?
    Well it would never be 100% proven ever, since there is always a small chance that the heterozygous spider is always throwing its spider gene, but look at it this way.
    Chance of a het spider throwing all spiders for....
    5 eggs = 1/32
    10 eggs = 1/1024
    15 eggs = 1/32,768
    20 eggs = 1/1,048,576
    27 eggs = 1/134,217,728 (Time to play the lottery)

    27 eggs is when bhb said their homozygous pin was in fact homozygous. I think you could be pretty confident with a male in a season or 2, A female would take longer to prove out, so how many eggs do you want to see?
