 I asked BOAF for an informal interpretation on this two years ago.  Following is their response:
Question:
Is it the intent of section R303.1, Florida Building Code - Residential, to not require insect screen on doors
or windows used to provide natural ventilation?
Answer:
There is no requirement in the Residential code to provide insect screening for windows and doors used to
provide natural ventilation.
Commentary:
Insect screening IS often a component of minimum housing standards adopted by local governments.

Here is a link to the informal interpretation - http://www.boaf.net/pdf/I-List/4226.pdf
