Most reported in December.

67% of these 91 records were made in January and December. None has been logged in May, August, and September yet.

This shows when 91 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”.
