Correct
Great images..clear and close enough to warrant a genus and even species id... This may be a species of Limnoporus judging from the length of the antennal segments (segments 2+3 are longer than segment 1) and the brownish colouration but I don't know much about Florida Gerridae to give you a definite answer.
