The outcome depends on whether the female has one or two turquoise genes. Unfortunately, there's no reliable way to tell visually. If she has two turquoise genes, all the babies will be turquoise pallids (pastel lacewing). If she only has one turquoise gene, half the babies will be turquoise pallid and half will be blue pallid.
