How small could an animal be before it is consciously aware of the effects of quantum mechanics?

The Megaphragma mymaripenne is the smallest animal with eyes, brain, wings, muscles, guts and genitals.
If by some miracle it could be still shrinked, how much smaller could it get before it starts to become largely aware of quantum mechanical effects such as tunneling?
Explanations:
By shrinking I mean wasp being made of less atoms but with similar "organs".
By affected I mean, if that wasp was by some miracle smart as humans, it would have understanding of quantum mechanical effects same as humans have understanding of naive physics.
