I believe this lightning bug is photinus brimleyi because there was a single flash of yellow light, a 7 second pause, and then another single flash of yellow light. I have observed similar looking insects in the area during the day. The first 2 photos are screenshots from the first and second blinks in the video.

ID tentative.
Found by a friend (my photos here), who sent pix to a firefly aficionado and got this ID.
iNat disagrees with this ID for these adults, preferring Ellychnia corrusca . However, iNat IDs exuviae (208644961) found on the same tree as Pyractomena borealis.
Me? Idk.
