This is a nymph
of the Zelus longipes-like bug you posted earlier. We do have one other image of an orange and black species which Eric put temporarily into longipes under the assumption that it was part of the color variability of the species. These are the only longipes images we have on BugGuide with white patches on their legs, and all are from Broward County. Might you have a new Zelus species down there?? Maybe someone from your local Ag dept can tell you? (and us!) See what you can find out and keep us posted. Thanks for posting these wonderful images.

WOW!
That's pretty exciting! How could I get in touch with Agriculture Dept. to find out?

Here's a link to your extension office
Broward County, or if they can't help you might try contacting IFAS (University of Florida) directly - there is a charge for identifying insect specimens but sometimes they can ID from a picture if you e-mail it to Lyle Buss, ufinsectid@ifas.ufl.edu.
