Most reported in June.
62% of these 13 records were made in June and July. So far, records fall in only 5 of the twelve months.
This shows when 13 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”.
