Which of the following species would you most expect to be distributed according to a regular pattern?

A regular distribution occurs when individuals are spaced fairly evenly, often because they compete for limited resources or inhibit nearby individuals from growing. Creosote bushes can limit the growth of nearby plants through competition and chemical effects, producing this kind of spacing. Termites and stingless bees tend to occur in colonies, so they are more likely to be clumped.
