Most reported in September.

52% of these 21 records were made in September. So far, records fall in only 3 of the twelve months.

This shows when 21 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”.
