At what point do small bugs take damage from falling?

626 views

I released a spider today and after launching it from about six feet up, which was about 72 times its height, I started to wonder about this.

EDIT: Took out a typo. I didn’t think anybody would care or notice but you know, Reddit.

As people already pointed out, it’s about the terminal velocity.

So the better question would be:
How heavy should a small bug be to take damage from falling?
