Wow, Xestocephalus has 120 species. This could be X. tesselatus but that's a bit of a guess. Bugguide.net mentions that this leafhopper could be "myrmecophilous" meaning (as I just learned) that the species plays a certain role in an associated host ant colony.

This tiny leafhopper is an "ant-guest" living as an immature in the tunnels of ant nests, where it presumably feeds on the roots of plants. Adults fly around a lot looking for other ant nests. They are quite common in North America but perhaps not so much in Florida. When I posted this photo on bugguide.net, it was the first photo of this species for Florida. I am also intrigued by the rectangular bracket-like patterns on the leafhopper's head.
