To me, the first should be ants, they’re practically everywhere and there’s a lot of them

You ever read children of time? I'm definitely going with the spiders.
Came here for spiders. I was always afraid of spiders when I was younger, but now I marvel at them. I get huge orb weavers on my deck in summer. I love watching them meticulously spin their spin and wait, static, floating on glass threads.
