Spider X pastel clutch...

[mykee]

It's been almost two months now that my female pastel laid 7 nice big healthy eggs. She was bred to my breeder male spider:

The clutch pipped out a few days ago and this was the result:

What you're seeing is a clutch from a pastel X spider, so the odds, on paper, should have been:
25% normal, 25% pastel, 25% spider and 25% bumblebee.
What hatched were 3 bumblebees, 2 spiders, 2 pastels and zero normals.

The best part:

The males:

Yup, 0.3 bees, 0.2 spiders and 1.1 pastels!

Thanks guys, I was really shocked when they all pipped. I was hoping for a lone bee to add to my collection.
Mark; funny thing is, I've been REALLY male-heavy this whole season, and then this clutch. Couldn't have come at a better time.
