I thought this was a wasp but I went through all 178 pages here and didn't see it. Maybe I missed it.

Paper wasp.
This is probably a paper wasp in the genus Polistes, but I'm not familiar with the Florida fauna. If you want to collect some specimens for me, I'll run them through the key I have. Contact me at: bugeric@webtv.net if interested.

 
Thanks Eric
I probably won't see this guy again and collecting would be rough. Thank you for your offer. If I do happen to get it, I'll contact you.
