Yes
looks a lot like Orsilochides guttata to me, but I'm no expert on these.

Thanks!
Looks exactly like the ones on the link you gave. I'll move it.
Hannah, should I just email you directly for my bug ID's?? :o)))

Pretty soon you're going to overtake me
- the only reason I know your bugs is that I've photographed them too. When you find the ones that don't live in and around Gainesville back yard, you're on your own!
