This bat narrowly escaped a raptor attack but slammed on the ground in the process. Then it proceeded to climb a Southern Live Oak.

Just a guess based on other observations. It looks like there is a population in Key West which contains all observations of them in Florida. I guess this might be a newly documented area for these exotics farther north (assuming ID is even correct)
Doesn't look like their range extends this far north here either, though map might just be slightly inaccurate: https://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/FactSheet.aspx?SpeciesID=3806

I saw this caterpillar on a blade of grass, literally on top of what seems to be eggs (?). Within the same area (2 square feet), I saw another caterpillar of the same species doing basically the same thing (2nd photo) Is it a coincidence or something else?

Found at the Carillon business center on a freshwater pond. It was heard calling first and then responded to playback of King Rail and was eventually seen by many local birders.

Found this Palm Flatid Planthopper (Ormenaria rufifascia) on a Saw Palmetto frond that had succumbed to this fungus (Possible Hirsutella sp. If so, then most likely H. citriformis). There were other live and healthy (?) hoppers on the same frond. Not certain how pathogenic this fungus is, so not certain if they are infected. Thank you @b_gonzalez for your sleuth work, and for bringing this observation hopefully one step closer to being fully identified.

This tiny lacewing larva bit my skin with its mandibles when I held it (photo #2). It left the area itchy as it possibly injected saliva containing digestive enzymes, through a groove on its mandibles. Thank you @b_gonzalez for the info and for allowing this tiny creature to bite you while I took photos 3 and 4
