I can see in bugguide.com that there are a few pictures of this Genus where the nymphs are being attended by ants. I would imagine that there is a similar relationship as to that of ants and aphids or scales, were the nymphs produce some kind of sugary residue as they suck plant juices which the ants like.

Hmmm, are we sure this is organic? To be honest first thing it reminded me of was some old construction type spray foam that was scraped off revealing the air bubbles in it. Also am I right that it is on a cement or concrete wall?

I would say Common ( J. coenia).

That's a female. Take a look here also:

On something a bit off topic,
The article states, "There are nine Nearctic species of Campsomeris, of which four occur in Florida." And then goes on to show the four. Maybe it means 4 native. Campsomeris dorsata (not mentioned) from the Caribbean seems to be established in South Florida now.

I went with the above suggestion based just on visual comparison with photos on bugguide, but note there is the other species at the bottom of the ID page that is very similar.

I think, because of the large eyes that meet in the middle and the skinny abdomen, this is a male.

Ambersnail of some sort, I think it's the Saltmarsh one S. paralia. See it and other Succinea sp. here

Yes, I think you are right about the small one being the male, like the one on the last picture here:

I would think most certainly an anole, a brown one, I believe.
