The yellow displayed in my lacewings are quite strong but I am wanting to have a nice buttercup look to the baby lutinos/lacewings. Bred a couple lacewings from the season just passed and the babies were very pale yellow. I have read that the dark greens or olive greens are best to use in lutino lines but i am wondering if it is the same for lacewing lines. Cinnamon often takes out the color so would I need to breed pure lutinos with dark greens? I'm also not sure if you are able to get dark greens or olive greens split to lutino, if you can get them split, is it better to breed splits to my lacewing hens or just pure greens. I have only got one cock which is lutino and the rest of my lacewings are female. Thanks Link to comment

Not that I wouldn't like to learn it's just all so complicated. Hope you get an answer soon. Link to comment

But I breed a pure lutino with a cobalt hen, and he will almost all the time produce at least 1 lutino hen, and a cobalt body and lutino headed male. I have also recently got a very different mutation from the pair, which gave me well I don't even know. I will post a picture. Link to comment

I'll try to read further to find info about lutino. I couldn't find info on lutinos on the page. What do you think a dark factor does? Edited January 25, 2014 by Phoebes Link to comment

So I guess I will just purchase a new cock to pair with one of my lacewings. Link to comment
