Snails aren't bugs....
Anyway you can bargain him down to 50 bits and 7 or 8 shrooms
You need a lot more, but 76.91, 78.51 has a little overhang with spiderwebs that has the gnat swarms/grubs/moths all over it. Good place to start.
73.00, 80.52 also has a lot of gnat swarms

Description
You're a shrewd negotiator, {name}. That's good fun! I'll start packing. You go get some bug bits for me, okay?
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.
- The Super Sniffer
It appears the slatebacks are not secreting the correct pheromones, resulting in them not breeding. We believe this is a side effect of the stasis. The technology was never tested for such an extreme length of time. Until now.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- More-shrooms
Poor Gharrli needs to be set up while I'm away. The mushrooms you get will help with that. Get eight of them for now. We'll worry about the last one later!
