Long-necked Seed Bug (Myodocha serripes)
As their name suggests, this insect feeds on seeds. When hibernating, the adults will do so alone or in small groups, then migrate to fields in spring. They are most active in autumn, though those living in Florida do not hibernate at all. They are treated as pests on strawberries.
