    The spin structure of the moduli space of quadratic differentials on a Riemann surface is studied. It is shown that this spin structure is constant on every stratum where it is defined. This disproves a conjecture that the spin structure classifies the non-hyperelliptic components of the strata of quadratic differentials. The parity of the spin structure is given in explicit form.
