Some of my blueberries have small green caterpillars in them. I find them when I brush off the brown remnants of the flower. There is often a very small white fluffy appearance from which the caterpillars emerge when disturbed. The larger ones move quite fast and I have yet to get a picture.

Has any one any idea? The plants are mature and I have had them for years but never seen these critters before.

I think that I have found out what they are and it is not good  >:( Light brown apple moth (Epiphyas postvittana (Walker)). There is going to be some squishing going on or some feeding to my blackbird!
