most likely Micronecta ludibunda

 
Thanks very much.
Before submitting these photos to BugGuide.net, I used your online manual to "key it out." I thought it was Micronecta ludibunda, but wanted an expert to look at it. I had no idea that you would be that expert. Having your confirmation is much appreciated.

 
also
had a look at the small gerrid you posted - a Rheumatobates. Nifty critters!

 
Yes, they
sure are. I found them in a freshwater marsh in a gopher tortoise preserve in an urban area of Naples, FL.
