Bug Brawl Event Bug (No pun intended)

The new Bug Brawl Event started today, but I noticed a bug, or I believe is a bug anyway.
The first quest you receive from Dr. Ong gives you your companion bug and from then, killing monsters around your level will drop the small green bugs that the ladybug eats to level up.
The following quest appears when your ladybug is lvl 10 and you are supposed to level it up. I,, however, did not level my ladybug and i accidentally picked up a stronger bug, causing my ladybug to reset to lvl 0. After that, the small green bugs do not drop anymore so I am confused as to how to get my ladybug to level up at this point.

    Bug type: Quest
    Brief bug summary: I obtained the initial Bug Brawl event quest and proceeded to collect the small green bugs. After completing the first quest and obtaining the second quest to level up the ladybug to ant, my pet picked up a "stronger" bug which dropped my level below 10 (necessary level to level up the ladybug). Now, the only bugs that drop are ladybugs and above, all of which would decrease my bug level. It appears as though if you do not level the ladybug to ant prior to picking up one of the "stronger" bugs, the green bugs needed no longer drop (they appeared to have a really high drop rate initially). I tried abandoning the quest and reaccepting, which did not work. I abandoned the quest and restarted the game as well, that did not work either. I'm not sure if this is working as intended and the green bugs have a very low drop rate after the initial quest or if it is, in fact, a bug.

    More details: N/A

    Steps to reproduce: N/A

    Character name: Hamajere

    Character level: 209

    Character job: Illium

    World name: Scania

    Date and time of the incident: roughly 9:30 EST on 9/18/2018

    Happened to me too. If you complete the quest '[Bug Brawl] Bigger, Better Bugs' Aphids stop dropping, so if your Ladybug then loses level you can no longer transform it and it's impossible to progress in the event.

    Possible fix would be to give everyone access to the quest '[Bug Brawl] Debugging', which resets your bug to Ant and album to Ant Photo Album. Or just make Aphids keep dropping.

    This mysteriously resolved itself for me after a few minutes- entered a new map and suddenly was swimming in green buggers, an amount i can only guess is unintended. Got my Titan Beetle in 2 minutes.

    The fix should have been aphids now dropping regardless of what bug you have or whether the tutorial quest is active, however aphids now drop at a similar rate to other bugs.

    Try using a legion drop coupon or a drop rate familiar to increase the drop rate of the bugs.
