When they have been seen
| January | February | March | April | May | June | July | August | September | October | November | December |

Most reported in January.
58% of these 12 records were made in January and September. So far, records fall in only 5 of the twelve months.
This shows when 12 records were made, not when fireflies fly. A place people only visit in one season looks seasonal for that reason alone, so treat a thin month as “nobody looked” rather than “nothing there”.
