    Whats this on the strawberry???

    I've picked some strawberries today, on one was a thing.....it looked like a tick burrowing into the strawberry. It sort of resembles a ladybird larva but fatter.
    Any ideas anyone? Its front end was actually stuck in the fruit like a tick
    Picture isn't too good as I can't get close

    It isn't a tick. The picture is very small, but it looks a bit like the bug I found on my fuschia last year. If so it's the pupa of a ladybird, so it shouldn't harm your fruit.

        It is definitely a ladybird pupa. Heywayne posted a bigger pic of one a few days ago.
