At what point do small bugs take damage from falling?

Question

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.

There’s a thing where the only way to kill a squirrel by dropping it is to literally drop it from so high up that it starves to death before it hits the ground.
