Most reported in May.

57% of these 28 records were made in May. So far, records fall in only 6 of the twelve months.

This shows when 28 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”.
