That is not a moth, but a butterfly. It is one of the skippers. I have tried to identify it, but the closest that I can find is the Arizona Skipper (Codatractus arizonensis) http://www.mariposasmexicanas.com/codatractus_arizonensis.htm , but that species is not found anywhere near to Florida.

Vicki I think it is a Long-tailed Skipper minus the tail
