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.
