This small friend is pretending to be an ant, but she is in fact a spider, Myrmarachne formicaria!

I'm not sure whether it's noteworthy to find her in Ohio.

E: Apparently this is the least notable place to find her in the US.

That's a Brown Snake you got there. Garters are more stripey.

I honestly thought there was too much striping going on for it to be a DeKay’s brown snake. And I could only find the reddish/orange tongue with a black tip on garters (all the pics of DeKay’s tongues I could find were fully black). But like I said, snake ID is a pain and I’m no herpetologist.

There are a couple of flavors of brown snake around, depending on where exactly you are.

Yep. That’s not a super specific designation but I don’t know jack about genus or species level id with them.

I don’t think it’s Rabidosa as they don’t have the big honkin spinnerets and op’s specimen lacks abdomen stripes

Oh true.

Agelenopsis it is, then?
