Hope I give you a Florida record

For this one. :-)

not sure what you mean

16 spp. of Hyperaspis(1) & Th. montezumae are known to occur in FL (leaning towards the latter)

Yes I see that, what I meant was a

Florida ENTRY (record) for BUGGUIDE, for the animal- that I agree it also might be. Unless I'm looking at the BUGGUIDE data wrong?

Best,
Kenny
