Deathsquitos do 90 damage per hit. Armor subtracts from the damage received directly until the armor value equals half the damage, and then it falls off proportionally.

For example, if you were hit by an attack that does 100 damage, and you had 25 armor, you would take 75 damage. With 50 armor, you take 50 damage, and that's when the math gets a lil funky. At 100 armor you would take 25 damage, if I'm doing the math right.

Basically, at 40 armor you should take 50 damage, so that's correct. I do think Squitos have been nerfed a couple times at this point so they're much more manageable nowadays.
