Most reported in August.
73% of these 15 records were made in August and September. So far, records fall in only 5 of the twelve months.
This shows when 15 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”.
