Agricultural Pests

Larvae of raspberry fruitworm beetle primarily target the fruits of raspberry plants by chewing the tissues. This feeding can cause a range of damage, from mild in cases of low infestation to severe when numbers are high. Affected fruits often become misshapen and discolored, reducing marketability and potentially leading to significant crop losses. This infestation can indirectly affect humans by impacting the availability and cost of raspberries.
