Since there are 4,000 "insects" and only 2,640 legs, a lot of those insects will be missing most (or all) of those legs that they have....

I wonder how a legless spider or legless ant can invade any place at all?

26,400 legs, if you please, or it is all for naught

This is what happens when you bump up an invasion from 400 to 4000 without calculating the consequences of that decision.

Do you expect me to properly count all those legs in the middle of an insect/arachnid invasion?

Too bad this wasn't a GRE question :-P
