Historical locations of bugs shown (incorrectly) over entire map

Palia Map emojiPalia Map

See images for examples. Elderwood: Cave Piksiis spawn *only* in caves Bahari: Bahari Glowbug spawns *only* in southern Bahari (except the beach) Kilima: Duskwing butterfly spawns *only* in Maji's Hollow area This seems to be the case no matter which bugs filters are enabled, and is true both in the app and on the website, as well as when using search (as opposed to filters).

Do you notice if these false positives were detected in live mode as well?

Not that I've observed, at least (not like the fish). I do a lot of hunting of cave piksiis, specifically, and those don't show up outside of caves, ever. Normally they spawn from a staircase mushroom being picked, or a lure being placed near one of those spawn points. Staircase mushroom distribution (the area off to the right is the interior of the pirate cave, so, a cave):

I started to re-tracking the spawn locations. In a few days, I will reset the locations again and hopefully have the false positives filtered out

check again please

It's improved, but there are still persistent anomalies. There IS this occasional bug in the game where, after catching a bug, the loot bag will inexplicably appear somewhere random way across the map (and be unlootable, unfortunately). I wonder if the map is picking up this phenomenon, especially since the duskwing is being farmed very heavily right now (so more rolls of the dice on that bug happening)

it's still only about bugs?

I'll double check, but this thread was about bug catching data specifically

thx. would be nice if you can share the coordinates of 2-3 invvalid bugs

I can give examples of other bugs with limited spawn areas that appear outside of those areas in the map data; please let me know if a full list would be helpful.
