Photinus pyralis
"Males of Photinus pyralis locate females by a series of light flashes, to which females respond with a coded delay flash. The Photuris female may also lure a Photinus pyralis to be eaten to obtain spider-repellent steroids which Cornell researchers named "lucibufagins" in 1997." (wikipedia)
This was a morning spotting on a gas pump through the car window.
