    These appear to be suffering to a number of issues. I have a remedy for all of your issues. This is very common with unprepared soils. My recipe is as follows:

    First, you will want to prime the soil with dolomitic lime, then spread wettable sulfur to Kill off any infection in the soil. I Also like to spray the plant itself. Mix a few drops of one or more of these ingredients into warm water with a spoonful of coconut oil: Rosemary oil, lavender oil, neem oil, garlic oil, cinnamon extract/oil and for really bad cases, also add clove oil.

    If you live in an area of Florida where there are never frosts, then yes, you can plant the seeds now or anytime. In a colder area, plant after the last frost of the winter. If you are planting right away, I don't think you need the drying period. See this article for tips:

    Pumpkin seeds should be started about 2 to 3 weeks before the last frost date. Those dates for you are in the range of April 13 to May 16th--you need to follow the weather trends.

    You can add additional light to the seedlings, but you may want to start some new seeds to ensure you have healthy seedlings to plant outdoors.
    Use grow lights and rotate the plants for even growth.

    It looks like your seedlings are very tall and spindly. They are not receiving enough sunlight it appears. A grow light can help until you can move them into the garden.
    Here are some articles that will help you.

    This could be a Mining Bee.
    Mining bees range in size from that of a Honey bee to a considerably smaller bee. The larger bees are furry and darker than Honey bees while some are brightly striped, and others are a shiny metallic green color. These bees are not aggressive and will rarely sting. In fact, these bees are extremely beneficial since they are very important to the population of a wide variety of plants.
