It's not P. longicornis, I'll figure it out tomorrow probably.

Also, this should've been posted in the Ant ID center. ;)

If anyone has any clue what this species could be, any attempt would be appreciated. And I think this thread is in the ID center, is it not?

Some things I have noticed
-----------------------------------
They dont have a good grip on stuff (Fall off hands, bowls, anything.
They dont bite or sting, when you put one on your hand they will just run.
Which brings us to their speed, they run very quickly.
When caught, they tend to clean themselves, as if they dont like being dirty
Sometimes they put their back ends up as if angry

Just some things I noticed. Hope it helped figure out their species.

It's in the subfamily Formicinae. I'll try to get it narrowed down.
