Dominant - (Spider)

  

Spider

The Spider is a polygenic morph with at least two different and quite subtle mutations. This mutation is the result of a gravid female, wild caught by John Lynch. One of her offspring was the first Spider.

The lateral body spots are partially connected with those on the back and enlarged, or it looks like they have been inflated in their centre. As a result there is a reduced background colour, which looks like the archs of a spider web.
