A. forbesi and piger
If this is indeed forbesi and I'm not mistaken, from the month I spent in FL this past summer, the piger/forbesi group was pretty common, found a few individuals each night. A. piger was definitely more common, however, I only found a few examples of what I think are forbesi, the rest were piger with very noticeably setose eyes

Here's an A. piger I found: https://bugguide.net/node/view/2084683 (not sure how to link pages yet... help would be much appreciated!)
