Definitely an ant, but I've never heard of a florida species with a green shine.

Maybe its my lighting and her wing was stuck to her, but I think that its Brachymyrmex obscurior after some research.

Either Brachymyrmex obscurior or patagonicus, more likely patagonicus because they're a lot more dominant in the northern part of the state.
