thank you, I will read that link again thoroughly yes. haha, the worms are very offputting for me, I'm not fussy with food but things like dirty food or worms puts me off totally. I will inspect the healthier ones, what surprised me is this one looked almost totally healthy except some very small healed damage on top which I expect is where the insect entered the fruit. I saw this one today when I'd taken a bite of the berry! luckily it was still whole! lol.
I just found a little white worm inside one of the blackberries. I saw some damage on top of this particular blackberry but thought it was just slightly misformed or something like that. Damn! i.imgur.com/DQvPSgE.gif
I'm so annoyed right now. I just found a little white worm inside one of the blackberries. I saw some damage on top of this particular blackberry but thought it was just slightly misformed or something like that. Damn! i.imgur.com/DQvPSgE.gif more or less has put me off trying to eat any of the others.
Im in Hampshire - we've had had some very sunny and humid/hot days here recently yeah. I heard that "white drupelets are caused by strong sun after periods of overcast weather", so this could be a possibility. ok, thank you for the info about withering.
thank you very much for the information. just to say, those in the picture that are completely 100% tan/green are just those which haven't ripened yet. I have just cut open three from different areas which were badly affected, and I see no signs of worms/grubs or anything, aside from the discoloring I see nothing inside to indicate insects or an infestation. Though the mites specifically are microscopic so that would be very hard to see signs of. but the damage pictured on that link does not resemble the damage on my blackberries. pictures I've no seen of sunscald does look very close though.
