Inheritability of spider head patterns?

[Bruce Whitehead]

Just wondering if head patterning in spiders is random?

I like a super clean symmetrical head pattern... will a spider with a non-symmetrical head throw symmetrical and vice versa?

Same with messy patterns and spots on spiders?

I get that you always want to aim for selective breeding, but still curious about the chances on offspring phenotypes.

Thanks in advance,
Bruce

Bruce,

I'm definitely not informed on the subject, but I will say that a symmetrically patterned head male threw this male:







But he also threw these symmetrically patterned head babies:

These three came from the same clutch....
