A closer look

Physics prevents an ant from sustaining any fall damage regardless of the height from which it is dropped due to its incredibly low terminal velocity. Because their mass is so minuscule compared to their surface area, air resistance slows their descent to a gentle drift, meaning you could throw an ant out of an airplane at thirty thousand feet and it would simply walk away upon landing. The square-cube law dictates that while giant monsters would collapse under their own weight, tiny insects operate in a world where gravity is basically a mere suggestion. It must be intensely liberating to be a tiny six-legged drone, immune to the catastrophic laws of kinetic energy that keep us clumsy humans terrified of mildly steep staircases
