The red thingy is a velvet mite I think. Also the crane fly I believe is actually a snakefly

Thanks! And man, there are so many "-fly" out there, I would have never thought that would be called snakefly, who even thought of that, I mean, with its long neck it looks more like a crane.
Ikr. Apparently they use that extended thorax to hunt for prey. They use it like a snake, rearing up and then striking down. Also they aren't flies, and I believe are related to lacewings.

Young ant keeper with a decent amount of knowledge on local ant species.

YouTube: https://m.youtube.co...uKsahGliSH7EqOQ (It's pretty dead. Might upload again soon, don't expect my voice to sound the same though.)

Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): Camponotus irritans inferior, Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, Nylanderia sp., Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (Myrma) cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly Zatapinoma)

Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.

To hang carelessly underneath a leaf...

The spider is actually a harvestman which is not actually a spider since it doesn't produce silk, but it is still an arachnid.

And the one you said was a 'walking leaf' is actually a leaf-footed bug (Coreidae) although I could be wrong.
