Yes, insects and Spiders can survive higher falls than humans due to their small size and the effects of air resistance. When they fall, their lower mass means they reach terminal velocity much sooner than larger animals, resulting in less force upon impact. This allows them to withstand falls that would be lethal to larger creatures like humans. Additionally, their exoskeletons provide some protection against impact forces.
