There's a little ant in my room that's been kicking around. Well the other day it crawled on my phone charging cable and it was going down it...right towards a daddy long legs in it's web. When it saw the spider moved the little ant noped right out of there and hightailed it's little ass back up the cable onto my desk. I thought it was the cutest little thing.

Reading "daddy long legs in its web" was setting off my "UM ACTUALLY" response but I have now learned that some people call cellar spiders daddy long legs

I have watched two of those spiders on separate webs reaching their legs very cautiously out to each other, getting freaked out and spinning around really fast, only to get disoriented and start the whole process over again

Yeah I grew up calling cellar spiders that, it's my like default name for when I see them.
