Fun fact - if your pet is a wasp, it shows up as a part of your quest objective.
cant see how they could ever cast it on you, it got 2-3sec casting time... couldn't you kick it? stun it? rofl btw, the drop rate is retarded. "I had more luck with droprate southeast (around 82,72) of Umbrafen Lake" - same for me.

Description
<Magasha chuckles softly to herself.> I bet if they knew they were wearing bug parts, the fashion trend would end very quickly. We first started killing the bugs 'round here 'cause they were getting in the way of our construction. Some enterprising merchant stops here, spends the night, and next thing you know he's buyin' up all the bug wings we have! Says he makes clothes out of 'em. I be stickin' to my armor, thanks. But if you gather the wings of any of the fireflies, I'll gladly buy 'em.
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.
- An Unnatural Drought
The soil sample you brought me is nearly devoid of moisture, <name>. If the soil itself is losing moisture, then the creatures that live in the Dead Mire must be suffering terribly. I've seen what happens when the region's fungal giants begin to wither and die.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- No More Mushrooms!
Mushroom soup, mushroom stew, mushroom sauce! Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom! It's all there is to eat around here. If you say you're hungry, the cook hands you an axe and tells you to go chop down your dinner! Well, I'm tired of mushrooms. I've seen fish in the lakes around here.
