Sorry I couldn't get a great pic of the faces, but I can try again if I have to. I'm new to Florida so any help with ID would be great! Thank you!

Two queens Orlando, FL 6/25
Caught two queens tonight (June 25th) in Orlando, Florida! They appear to be the same species. They are both 0.7-0.8mm long about. They're a light tan-ish orange color, and the stripes on their abdomen are pretty dark, and I think they have just one node.

Looks like Dorymyrmex bureni.
