bad pics and good eggs!

Well I know a few things about morphs. I believe everyone slaps the name of their pastel line onto their animals to be able to sell it for more. Really, there's only two lines of pastel and it's just the "pastel jungle" or more commonly known as a "pastel" and the "lemon pastel". Which I believe NERD did originate, I may be wrong on that so please don't quote me. It's supposed to be a brighter pastel colour.

Very cool though Julien. Best of luck getting a bee out of them!

Sorry for all the questions!

the pastel and spider gene are both co-dominant (or incomplete dominant) genes. by breeding a pastel to a spider, each egg will have a 1/4 chance of being either a normal, pastel, spider or bumblebee.

a "Pastel Spider" or a "Bumblebee Spider", as you put it, is simply a bumblebee which is the physical expression of the pastel and spider gene.

hope this helps.
