Holy crap... does anyone else get these things? For the longest time I thought I was messed up seeing these little crawly things from time to time but they do exist! They're called floaters. According to wikipedia,

"Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility within the eye's normally transparent vitreous humour.^[1] They may be of embryonic origin or acquired due to degenerative changes of the vitreous humour or retina.^[1] The perception of floaters is known as myodesopsia, or less commonly as myiodeopsia, myiodesopsia, or myodeopsia.^[1] When observed subjectively, floaters are entoptic phenomena characterized by shadow-like shapes that appear singly or together with several others in one's field of vision. They may appear as spots, threads, or fragments of cobwebs, which float slowly before one's eyes."

Trippy.
