Hi all,

What’s eating my raspberries?

I did have the raspberry bush netted but noticed it’s still being eaten, I then checked every lead and found this black caterpillars?

How do I stop this?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with those caterpillars, but I initially wondered whether you have raspberry sawfly? However, most of what I've read seems to indicate that its colour is usually that of the leaf, i.e. green rather than a clear black stripe.
