Somehow, saying that that's "hardcore" seems wholely inadaquat.
Still, when you're that tiny, forces like gravity and inertia no longer
apply to you. (Or rather, they are insignificant compared to viscosity.)
I would imagine that with a surface area of just 3.1 mm^2 enclosing a
volume of only 0.5 mm^3, differences in external pressure are pretty
unimportant to you. Which would mean that differences in temperature
probably aren't important to your physical structure. (Chemical
structure is of course another matter...)

*survive*, but *live*. It seems Tardigrades go into stasis at high
temperatures.)
Yeah, small is rugged. Still, there _is_ that frog that survives being
frozen solid each year...
