Swamped

Dissention among the Marshguard ranks eh?

Well they're not a full fledged core so it's to be expected but...the real worry is why are they at the breeding grounds, and if they see you harvesting fly eggs they'll probably assume you're trying to use it on then later.

The /last/ thing you want is to start a poisoning arms race in the middle of the swamp. It's fortunate poison has been avoided by both sides so far.

You could try and scare them off. They don't know how many knights you have on the barge, you could raise a bunch of noise and try to scare them off...but that would certainly attract the attention of the adult bog flies.

What's more worrisome, however, is the fact that they're here at all. You know that they have a swamp beast rider and...burrowers...the base has never had an issue with burrowers before...they aren't all that dissimilar from swamp beasts in some regards.

You need to get poison and get out fast. And not be detected.

It's risky, but park the barge and take the dingy to cast the net. Then hop back in and leave. Don't forget to mask-on.
