These pictures don't help much. The lighting and focus needs to be better. Also, no measurement, as the rules require you to provide for ID requests.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Yes, lighting and measurements would help. Living in South Florida myself, that looks as if it is a Paratrechina pongicornis AKA crazy ant. I could be wrong because depending on size it could be some type of carpenter.
