In short, the smaller the creature, the less damaging the fall. Bugs do take fall damage, but very minimal and their hard exoskeletons tend to absorb it quite well, with the exception of, IIRC, a spider that tends to break open when hitting the ground. You can basically drop a chick off the roof of a two story building and it will more or less be all good, getting up confused, shakes itself off, and continues on. If you drop a much heavier human, you’ll get broken bones, bruising, internal bleeding, organ damage, even death if they hit their head.
