Most reported in September.
75% of these 12 records were made in September and October. So far, records fall in only 4 of the twelve months.
This shows when 12 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”.
