Spiders don't have antennae, which yours clearly does. Also, I can't make out more than six legs. Some ant species are hairy and the queens chew off their wings after fertilisation.

Mind you, my inner 12 year old goes a very different place with the phrase "Johnson Jumper".

Yeah, the album starts out with some flowers because some people are funny about the weirdest things.

It seems that those are red velvet ants.
I was definitely a safe distance, fortunately the 18-270 will still focus at distances shorter than infinity.
