I want to know what this species is. I've never saw it before. But now it's around my room and I'm annoying now.

I believe it is a pallid twig ant ant. The body matches most twig ants. The eyes have a less elongated shape than most of the genus and look more similar to more common ants. I caught it in a pot nesting in dirt within the roots of a phaleanopsis orchid and plan to keep it for a formicarium.
