We're starting to collect a lot of these Florida specials.
Plus some from surrounding states. Maybe these should be grouped, or cross-referenced somehow. Anyone know an expert who can sort them out?

(I'm saying "Florida" sort of generically. Neighboring states can also qualify, and we've had a recent one from Alabama.)

Toxomerus?
Probably a species of Toxomerus, but then again, this specimen is from Florida....:-)

Interesting. Not one of "The Big Three".
Likely that this is one of the Toxomerus species found only in Florida.

(Added later) It's a boy!
