WHY don't insects die after falling from a great height?

 The weight difference between an ant and a human is substantial, with a human weighing several thousand times more. This affects their free-fall speed, with a human falling at 50 m/s compared to an insect's 1 m/s. The lower fall speed results in less damage during a fall. Furthermore, many insects have wings which allow them to control their descent and soften their landing, further reducing damage. The lighter weight and presence of wings are key factors in helping insects survive falls.
