I am just starting ant keeping and found this ant this last week(5/17/18). She was in the ground trying to start a new colony after her nuptial flight and I dug her up.I am desperate to find out what kind she is as she started to lay eggs. Here are the pics hope you can get a good look my phone didn't want to focus on her in the tube and I didn't want to keep her out too long and have her eat her eggs!
6mm in size 6.2mm if you want to get technical

Hello after looking at the photo and comparing i believe it could be a Caribbean crazy ant. Im not native to Florida nor am i a ant expert however with comparing the pics you have , that is what i believe you have on your hands. she is a real beauty by the way good luck with her if you want to compare with pictures yourself as you have a better view of her there is a website called antweb go onto there select bioregions choose north america ,select america, then select Florida and it will show you all known ant specie of Florida along with pictures
