Vickie Baumer collected the spotted wing drosophila (SWD) traps that she put out last week. She identified 11 SWD in the High Tunnel trap next to primocane bearing raspberries, 6 SWD in the trap on the east side of the blackberries and 2 SWD in the trap on the west side of the blackberries. Dr. Maciej Pszczolkowski, Associate Research Professor of Entomology, verified the identification.
