Thinking Platyvelia brachialis based on this iNat observation.

That’s sure looks like it. I tried 5 different pictures of them cropping them and every and INat wasn’t even coming close it keep show ants. I think the little white speck of styrofoam from the floating dock was throwing it off. I think the app was thinking they were eggs
