You can actually click on and capture the little creatures whilst you are flying, which is tremendous. :)
Once you have all 5 glimmerflies, do not mount. I'm unsure if it was intentional but once I'd collected all of mine and was hovering off the ground, I mounted up to run back and immediately lost the buff and all 5 flies.EDIT: Nevermind, the buff vanishes but the quest still hands in just fine! No need to recollect them.
