I assume this is Dorymyrmex bureni, however since I haven't ever seen one of their queens in person, nor have I seen one of these, I am just here to make sure.

2. Date of collection: 5/18/2023
3. Habitat of collection: Blacklight
4. Length (from head to gaster): around 8mm, give or take
5. Color, hue, pattern and texture: Like a brown color with gold/yellowish marks on the gaster
6. Distinguishing characteristics:
7. Distinguishing behavior: Nothing different from other caught queens
8. Nest description: n/a

9. Nuptial flight time and date: from 7:30-9 PM Central time, 5/18/2023
