This things are like chigoe, hit insanely fast and got a very high evasion, I soloed a EM one as THF 75 and had a really hard time hitting them with ranged attack bloody bolts even with sushi but killed one with 350 HP left, they use a slow thing that feels like slow II on you makes recast time for Utsusemi very long so overall nasty to solo fight these.
I got a gnat wing and 105 exp from it.
Edit: Btw I used EVA gear, whiteout that you wont last long even as THF. I had EVA skill 291 and about +50 evasion on gear.

Ruddi of Fairy server. Windurst rank 10 CoP and ZM done. It was fun!
Fought these last night in Sauromugue near the fort. They conned EM to T, so 75-77.
I was on my smn. Did one fight solo, and then duoed with a 75 thf/nin. I won my one solo fight, but it took a lot of kiting and a timely Cure IV from a passing sprite. Got 136xp and a wing. The duo fights were about 3/5 with no wings dropping on them.
These things hit fast and rip through shadows. I would recommend a pld tank. You need someone that can take a hit. The thf could not survive if he started swinging at the beginning of the fight. Could not keep shadows up and couldn't evade hits. We finally won a few by having leviathan blood pact a couple of times to get the gnat's hp down to 50%. Used levi because of his slowga. A bard for elegy and a rdm or whm for slow would be a great help, too.
I was fighting these guys because of a supply ops that requires 4 gnat wings. I don't think I'll do supply ops for a while.

They aren't exactly nice... yet neither is silk road. At least they can be duo'd if you're paying attention. They attack rather quickly. So i wouldn't suggest solo.
