This quest is available at the 82.8 23.4 location near the cave of the crazed trog on the same day that Bugs, Lots of 'Em! is available.
Someone at Blizzard really seems to love the movie Starship Troopers, two quests on Mechagon dedicated to it.
This is quite a rare daily quest, as it can be several days between availability, so you definitely need to seize any chance you have to do it if you are trying to complete Outside Influences.
