How is it that ants and other insects walk up the sides of objects with seemingly no effort what so ever?

Sticky feet and smaller bodies with their weight spread out over more legs.

the basic thing that we have and they dont have is the weight. Their weight is very very low and most of them are even lighter than air. on the other hand their bodies are designed horizontally and also they have minute rough feet which can actually grip the surface of any object no matter how smooth it is.

less body weight
sticky flexible four legs
specially designed legs i.e.like a hook. can hold anything with solid grip.
thats y they in mass can take a big snake displaces from one place to other.

they have smaller mass so the gravitational force (F=mg) is smaller than for a human; they have "sticky" feet; they are very strong (should they be the same size as a human they would be hundredths or thousands of times stronger).

We dont need to walk like insects to get food and shelter.This explains what we have.

They are strong relative to their body weight and they have hook like appendages on their feet.
