Todays date: 29.05.2018, I caught 3 of them and put 2 of them together seems like they are just fine now, I guess its Lasius but I don't know which lasius species. Thanks for your help guys.

knkhrmn18, I don't know if its just me, but the images are 'broken' and link to nothing..

Maybe others can see them, and they'll get back to you..?

i can't see them either

[knkhrmn18]

Thank you for informing me guys, I'll change them ASAP.

[knkhrmn18]

Changed photos I hope you can see them now.

Lasius brunneus?
but it's just a guess...
Can you post clearer pictures from the top and side?

From the shape of the head, the gaster tergites and the appearance of the larvae I would say Tapinoma sp. probably of what was until recently Tapinoma nigerimum and now has been split into four different taxa.
