Spotted wing drosophila was trapped in both a cherry and a raspberry block in Orleans Co this week. In the raspberry planting, 1 female SWD was trapped in a jar drowning trap. In the cherry block (there are both tart and sweet cherries in the block), 2 male SWD were trapped in a jar drowning trap. Both traps are on the same farm.
Cherries are coloring up, and SWD number can increase rapidly.
