First collection
Little insects with genetics that actually work.
Bees, beetles, spiders and ladybugs that breed with each other. Every creature carries what it shows and what it hides, and a rare trait can skip generations before turning up again in your terrarium.
The four species
Each one with a look of its own
A different body, a different manner, and a top trait only it has. What changes from species to species is the shape; the genetics underneath is the same.
No species barrier
Any of them breeds with any other
There is no forbidden pair in the terrarium. A bee and a spider have a baby, and the species that comes out is a coin flip between mother and father. The rest of the look comes from both their genetics, mixed.

Three possible pairs, out of many. The baby's species is fifty fifty; everything else is a draw.
What changes from one creature to the next
The look is assembled piece by piece, and each piece has a handful of possible versions. Exactly how many, you find out by breeding.

- Pattern
- Eyes
- Wings and markings
- Legs
- Antennae
The egg gives nothing away
Every shell is white and identical. The symbol on the front says only which species the baby is, because parents of different species can produce either one. Colour, pattern and whatever it carries hidden only show up on hatching.
Hidden really means hidden
The hidden version shows up nowhere before its time, not even to the creature's owner. It only reveals itself when a baby is born expressing it.
Every lineage is on the record
Every creature has a unique code, its own page and a public family tree going back four generations. You can trace where that pair of wings nobody else has came from, and prove the lineage is yours.
