Aroga compositella - Hodges #2187
Moved from Aroga coloradensis.

Aroga coloradensis (Busck, 1903) is a synonym for Aroga compositella (Walker 1864)

Looks like 2187 - Aroga coloradensis....
....Vargo's specimen at MPG spread to 19mm (your moth is a little smaller but sizes vary a lot) and the moth does appear on Heppner's list for Florida species.
