But has anyone proven a spider homozygous yet to know what they look like? If it is homozygous lethal it's going to be very hard to prove through the absence of a homozygous spider.

Great job TSK sacrificing breeding for bees to try to get to the bottom of this. I'm raising up a female spider and know after all my pointing out the possibility that spider might be homozygous lethal I'm going to have to breed her to my spider male but I sure don't want to. I’d much rather make bees and I’m sure I’m not the only one so very hard to know how many potential homozygous spiders have been produced so far without public confirmation of one proving out homozygous yet. Maybe spider will yet prove dominant, but I’m not counting on it after what, close to 10 years now?
