I seriously doubt it! I'm not familiar with the chart, but Spiders are arachnids, and ants are insects; the only thing they have in common is they're both exoskeletons.

Ants and spiders are in the same kingdom Animalia. They are in the same phylum: Arthropoda. However, they are in different classes. Ants are insects in Class Insecta. Spiders are in Class Arachnida.

Nope. They have a very different body plan. Ants are insects, spiders are not.
