No unlock work this time around! Just regular breeding attempting to increase the number of a certain mutation(s) in my collection.
I recently found out about the Rainbow bodies available for fireflies. Rainbow bodies are not traits/ mutations that you can unlock, they come from random chance. There are 4 different Rainbow bodies- Rainbow, RainbowB, RainbowC, and RainbowD. All 4 of them are gorgeous bodies. I prefer these Rainbow bodies much more then the Rainbow bodies on the butterflies. I had never seen these for sale or trade before. I acquired one of each from a very kind fellow firefly breeder. I think they are very beautiful and I would love to have more of them in my collection for future pair ups. It was a little bit of a challenge to find something cool to pair with each ones unique color combinations.
Breeding pair 1:
MellowYellow (male) + Carrot (female)
MellowYellow is a bright yellow-green Eternal body, Pansey wing firefly with Rainbow effect. Carrot is a dark rose pink firefly with the RainbowB body. MellowYellow is a terrible mate for Carrot. I fucked up when picking out who would breed with her. MellowYellow is a bad choice because he already has a trait for his body- Eternal. You can only have one trait per slot- body, wing, and effect. Now if I get a body trait, it will be 50/ 50 chance which body it will be, instead of the higher chance of having it be a RainbowB body if there had only been one body trait in the pair. Grrrr. Should I try to find a different mate?? I don't know what I want to do. :/ They have had only 1 offspring so far- an ugly green Pansy wing, Eternal body, Rainbow Effect. I think I am going to find a replacement mate for Carrot before their breeding cycle continues any farther.
UPDATE: New Mate for Carrot:
Autum (male) + Carrot (female)
Autum is a pumpkin orange firefly with a Leaf wing and Rainbow effect. The colors of the firefly will make a much nicer mix, and the Leaf wing with the RainbowB body will also match much nicer. I'm really looking forward to seeing the offspring of this pair. :)
Breeding pair 2:
Dreadnought (male) + BubbleBobble (female)
Dreadnought is a candy apple red firefly with the RainbowC body. This Rainbow body is my favorite. I just love the color combonation! BubbleBobble is a purple firefly with Stained wings and a Bubble effect. Red makes purple, so they should produce a very nice purple-red shade. They have had one offspring so far, but with no traits at all.
Breeding pair 3:
Pastel (male) + GirlyGirl (female)
Pastel is a Rainbow body firefly, in a unique shade of pink... I'm not a huge fan of this Rainbow body. The other bodies are so much brighter, and this one is just too.......pastel. GirlyGirl is a very pretty purple Oops wing firefly with a Rainbow effect. Hopefully this pair will have a nice color combonation and I would love to see the Rainbow effect with the Rainbow body. :)
Breeding pair 4:
Socks (female) + PetalRed (male)
I *LOVE* Socks! So pretty! Socks is a RainbowD body firefly, with Tattered wings. PetalRed is a firefly with Eternal body and Petal wings. I know, I know... both fireflies have a body trait and that's not a good thing... but I really wanted the RainbowD body to have Petal wings, and this was the only Petal wing I had. She is an ugly color also and the one offspring they have had so far was extremely fugly AND it was Eternal body! Grrr. I'm hoping that the other offsprings will look better in color and have the RainbowD body (of course!)
These are the 4 Rainbow bodies I am working with. They have just started breeding. I am really excited to see what I get from them. :D I really hope to get more Rainbow bodies, of each type.
