Second fauxpalmicus Grove

The Cellularis Mapping Project continues to gain steam as we have collected 135 observations to-date!

More exciting news on the discovery front: a second fauxpalmicus grove has been sighted in California along the I-10 at Date Palm Drive in Cathedral City. You can see the location on Google Maps here.

Grove of 4 Cellularis fauxpalmicus

When we reported the fauxpalmicus grove in Arizona a few weeks ago, we had no idea there would be more such organizations of Cellularis species. Leading theories suggest that although most instances of fauxpalmicus are solitary, the species may gather under certain conditions into these groves for survival or breeding purposes.

Over 40 Observations + Statistics!

The Cellularis Mapping project continues to add new observations to the database. We now have over 40 confirmed observations! Below is a pie chart showing the prominence of the Cellularis fauxpalmicus and Cellularis fauxpinecus.

In what has us at the CMP puzzled, there are more instances of fauxpinecus than fauxpalmicus primarily in the American southwest. See the data below and bounce it off the map here:

Fauxpalmicus Grove

The Cellularis Mapping Project now has over 30 verified sightings of fauxpalmicus and fauxpinecus! Check out the map to see locations.

In addition, we have some more exciting news: the team has discovered a natural grove of Cellularis fauxpalmicus. The grove is located in Arizona about 30 miles SE of Phoenix near the intersection of Rittenhouse Road and East Riggs Road. See the location on Google Maps here.

With this unprecedented observation we now know that fauxpalmicus can organize in groups as opposed to being strictly solitary as previously thought.
