Most reported in January.
63% of these 19 records were made in January and September. So far, records fall in only 6 of the twelve months.
This shows when 19 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”.
