Most reported in January and May.

59% of these 17 records were made in January, May, and October. None has been logged in February, March, July, and August yet.

This shows when 17 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”.
