TheWoWDBThe shyfly is a yellow dot on the minimap, not the usual battle pet green icon. That threw me off for a while.

I boosted Lubbins to L25 and had him in the team, but didn't need to use him. Recommend prioritise Magic pets that are good vs. Flying. At L25 I had Arcane Eye and Eldritch Manafiend + Lubbins, I only needed to use the Arcane Eye - remember you want to capture the Shyfly, not kill it :) when you capture it the pet will go straight into your pet collection tab and you can turn in the quest.
Of course in hindsight, I could have used slightly lower level magic pets and got some experience for them!
TY to Anaphylaxis for saying that the Shyfly is a yellow do on the minimap.

Description
Like we talked about, Lubbins needs two things: a buddy and a battle. I think we can get him both at the same time. This area is a prime mating ground for Shyflys. If you look around a bit, you're sure to find a bunch. Remember, you need to weaken it before you can capture it with your trap. Come back when you have one. It might be a bit bruised after your battle, but I've got some battle-training stones that will fix 'em right up!
