The series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{z^{p_n-n}}{n!}$$ associated to the sequence $p_1=2,p_2=3,p_3=5,p_4=7,p_5=11,\ldots$ of prime numbers defines a holomorphic function in the open disc of radius $e$. Its roots have a curious onion-like structure. Cutting at $n=100$ (corresponding to $p_{100}=541$) yields a polynomial of degree $541-100=441$ with complex roots forming the picture

The onion-like structure of these roots is even more apparent when taking logarithms of all non-zero roots. Logarithms of roots in the open upper half-plane form the picture

In order to check that primes lead to especially nice roots, one can also consider the series $$\sum_{n=3}^\infty \left(\lfloor n/\log n)\rfloor-\lfloor (n-1)/\log n-1\rfloor\right)\frac{z^{n-\lfloor n/\log n\rfloor}}{n!}$$ with roots for the polynomial of degree roughly 440 forming the picture

which lacks the onion-structure.

Logarithms of roots in the upper half-plane give rise to

The series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{z^{p_n}}{n!}$ seems (perhaps) also a bit less interesting. Cutting at $n=100$, we get the roots

with logarithms of roots in the upper half-plane given by

The onion-structure of the initial series could of course be an artefact due to rounding errors or due to truncation of the series at $n=100$. I can exclude rounding errors with reasonable confidence since I did the computations with a precision of 1500 digits. The onion-structure of root-sets seems to persist by setting the cutoff $n$ to higher values.

A somewhat arbitrary convention is the indexing of primes. Series of the form $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{z^{p_n-(n+\tau)}}{(n+\tau)!}$ for small $\tau=1$ or $\tau=-1$ behave however similarly. (The onion-structure is slightly messier for $\tau=-1$ and roughly equivalent for $\tau=1$.)

Is there an explanation for this phenomenon?

Obvious remark: Shells of the limit onion-structure (in case of existence) are finite (since roots of holomorphic functions are discrete in their domain of holomorphicity).

Added: Computations using 800 digits and ending with $p_{250}=1583$ yield pictures

for roots of $\sum_{n=1}^{250} z^{p_n-n}/n!$. There is a shell of roots and a few 'isolated' roots outside the domain of convergency.

Logarithms of roots in the upper open halfplane and in the convergency domain are given by

For the polynomial $\sum_{n=1}^{250}z^{p_n}/n!$ roots (computed again with Digits set to 800 in Maple) are

There are again a few roots outside of the convergency domain but there seems to be an additional shell of roots (artefact due to insufficient precision or real roots?).
