Leucauge spiderling
Definitely genus Leucauge, based on the row of trichobothria that's visible near the base of the rear femur (visible as little black dots in a row in this image). Florida has both species of Leucauge though. The abdominal pattern is different between the two and I'd guess this is L. argyra because of the heavy black section sneaking up from the side, but not sure that's good enough to really place it to species level. Lets see what others think.
