This is a 2019 video about V. pergandei (one of my favorite pet ants) helping nestmates stuck in spiderwebs. I'd already read about it (apparently only the larger workers do this) - but this video also includes footage of presumably young nursery workers cleaning webbing off an ant who came back tangled up.
