Most reported in October and November.

60% of these 10 records were made in October and November. So far, records fall in only 5 of the twelve months.

This shows when 10 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”.
