A single male SWD was caught in a trap set on the edge of a fall raspberry planting in Orange County. This is first catch at this location. These traps are being monitored by Sarah Tobin, Eastern NY Commercial Horticulture Program.
Fall raspberries are not yet ripe, but typically once they are, they are highly susceptible to SWD infestation.
It is striking how different the current SWD trap catch across the network is for Eastern versus Western NY. Reports in for the monitoring network show the counties where SWD has been found on the distribution map, as compared to those where none have yet been caught in traps (gray).
