Two male SWD were caught in a trap set on the edge of a blueberry planting and raspberry high tunnel in Rensselaer County. The traps were checked on June 9, 2020. Fruit are developing nicely, but still not susceptible to egg-laying. These traps are being monitored by Laura McDermott, Eastern NY Commercial Horticulture Program, Cornell Cooperative Extension.
