Don't try to pick them off one at a time. It seems only one in a group drops the toxin glands. Tag one, then use your Fire Breath to get the whole 'herd'.

What to do
Description
You recover quickly, {name}. Good. Those who escaped my creche are healing, but others remain trapped inside. Rush in to save them and I will just have to drag you out again. There are beetle nests scattered around the caldera. Their toxin glands might provide a way to counter the effects of that poison. I am in no shape to collect them myself. I must rely upon your skills, evoker.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Into the Hive
Whatever toxin has infested this creche is potent enough to take down our best healers. That does not bode well for either one of us, <name>. No matter. Dracthyr are trapped inside. We are going in, regardless of risk. Take a deep breath and follow me!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Easy Prey
The wilds surrounding this creche are home to scythid. They are voracious insectoids, often territorial and aggressive. All these wounded would be easy prey for those beasts. I do not want them attacking our Menders while they recover. Cull their numbers while I look after Viridia. She is..
