No idea - Ocyptamus

Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
August 26, 2011
Size: approx. 4 mm

10 am on an oleander leaf in my yard. The photo shows some oleander aphids and a leg of Oncopeltus fasciatus but what is the other thing? I am afraid this could be a case for the thisisnotabugguide.net site.

Syrphid Fly larva?

I couldn't find exact matching image on the guide, but I think it's some kind of Syrphid Fly larva.

Thanks again!

The comments to the photo you've linked suggest that the presence of aphids might help in identifying it.
