Is summer the best time for communicating about ants?

Google trends analyses suggest so. Northern hemisphere countries like Canada and the US have a peak in the search term “ant” during their summer, while Australia has a peak in the Australian summer.

More ant activity in summer means more Googling about ants. So we need more ant content during summer to raise awareness and to spread knowledge.
