Thanks for the kind words everyone!
The pairing was from my leopard butter bee male to a normal female so there shouldn't be any other genes in the mix. I agree the coloration looks really similar to a mojave spider but I think that's just the influence of the leopard gene. I don't have a good picture of the sire, but he's developed a greenish tint as he's aged which is pretty cool!
Here is another sibling with the leopard gene…a simple 2-gene combo, but I love the pattern.
