Saratoga county had its first SWD of the season caught on June 23rd. A single male was trapped on a red sticky trap in a blackberry planting. Blackberries are not yet able to be fed on by SWD, but there were ripe raspberries nearby to the blackberry planting.
Remember to keep any ripening fruit covered if SWD has been caught in your county! If you would like to learn more about monitoring for SWD using the red sticky cards, contact me or review last year's post on the topic: https://blogs.cornell.edu/swd1/2022/02/08/red-sticky-card-traps-for-swd-monitoring/.
I'd like to give a big thank you to Natasha Field, ENYCHP, who was monitoring the trap in Saratoga county, as well as traps from the previous two posts!
