The shortest accurate answer

Fireflies are observed throughout the year at one monitored local site.

Abundance varies. Sightings cannot be guaranteed, and that local pattern cannot automatically be generalized across Ben Tre.

What the local baseline reports

Warmth

Warmer periods appear stronger in local experience.

Retrospective local knowledge

Rain

Light rain does not necessarily stop visible activity. Some evenings after light afternoon rain appeared stronger.

First-hand / retrospective observation

Moonlight

No obvious short-term effect has been noticed by the observer.

Local observation—not proof of no effect

Tide

No obvious short-term effect has been noticed by the observer.

Local observation—not proof of no effect

What those observations cannot show

Can a sighting be guaranteed?

No. Fireflies are wildlife. The project records observations, not promises. Safety, visibility, river access and disturbance also affect whether an evening observation is practical.
