Strawberry CSI
Posted by Kate on Thursday, June 09, 2005So tonight I was gathering my first strawberry harvest of the year when I realized I was not the first one to sample my berries.
Something else has been eating them - through my carefully placed netting! Very annoying. 
As I was gathering the few berries that had already ripened, I noticed a strange bug on some of the berries. And then I realized the bugs were eating the berries! I was prepared to need to ward off the ants, but I don't know where to begin with these unidentified bugs.
Do you recognize these bugs? If you do please leave me a comment. Also I am looking for recomendations on other sites that have information on scaring off garden pests. So far my little garden is "organic" but I may have to break down and buy something to kill the bugs if it means I am going to lose my whole harvest.
Here are the berries that I ate tonight. Very sweet.
