Possibly this fungus? Not sure if known in Florida. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022201117300824?casa_token=xltyl5qEQMoAAAAA:nhwoyXdR1TJGnqp8dabt07RTs-aMaklYVG_w6P7Cl2cwAiedeYA2mxWwhjunGZwEaMqrdkYJLdw

Haven't seen these before, but today there were dozens of these fungus-infected Chauliognathus latched on to plant stems. Presumably related to the week of wet, coolish weather we've had?
