Thank you for this very thorough data submission, Linda and Sheila! The flash pattern description does fit Pyractomena dispersa, though the flash period/dark phase is a bit shorter than what is described in Lynn Faust’s book (4-7 seconds at 65 F), perhaps because it was a bit warmer during your survey.
Have Pyractomena dispersa been collected or photographed at this site before?
