Most reported in July.

56% of these 34 records were made in July and August. None has been logged in February, March, and June yet.

This shows when 34 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”.
