Most reported in February, June, July, November, and December.

57% of these 14 records were made in February, June, July, and November. None has been logged in January, March, and September yet.

This shows when 14 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”.
