I dunno, try another zone. I picked some up today.

I usually go to rivenspire and get a stack an hour

OK, I know this is an old thread, but I'd just like to say...
I've collected loads of Torchbug Thorax from all zones before Necrom.

But since Necrom released, I haven't received a single Torchbug Thorax while in Apocrypha, just insect parts, and hardly seen any torchbugs in other zones.
Is this deliberate or has the drop chance been signifiacantly reduced?

And no, I am not running out of river bait. lol

Thanks.

I don't know about Eastmarch but I once picked torchbugs for an hour in Murkmire and got zip. And that was post update. Could be just poor rng.

I haven't been to Apocrypha yet, but my experiences in Murkmire match up with @cynicalbutterfly's; I've never gotten a single thorax from the red torchbugs there. I was surprised when I got thoraxes from red torchbugs in Blackwood, because based on my experiences in Murkmire I'd concluded that red torchbugs don't drop thoraxes.
