This one is actually an adult female of a short-winged species. There are many such species in FL, most of them endemic. Unfortunately you would need to see the end of a male's abdomen to determine species

Your nymph from the same locality might be the same species as this, just looking at overall shape and pattern - but that is just a guess

Moved from Short-horned Grasshoppers.
