I am living in Florida and see a lot of strange things, but this takes the cake. A beetle has luminescent spots and has a hinge that allows it to flex and jump, and it makes a clicking sound.
The "Click Beetle" is part of the Elateridae family.
This beetle was not sick or injured. After the video, I put it outside.
