| I'm going nuts trying to ID these pests. I was able to see one under a microscope and this is my best description.
Size: Tiny, less then 1mm
I tried to take a picture but they are too small to focus on. They attack the strawberries but don't seem to actually eat them, only make them mushy. I'm affraid they're affecting my other crops as nothing else I have planted (carrots, spinach, basil, beans) seems to be doing well. This is the first year of our garden, they are raised beds and the soil is mostly a horse manure compost. PLEASE HELP!!!!! |

| Symphylans fit that description except for the length-- they're longer than one mm. Pupulations are enhanced by lots of manure. You might look up info on them to see if they fit. |
