There is a new pest in town for some of us. If you find it please report it to your local ag commissioner.

Black Fig Fly ((Silba adipata McAlpine) has positively been identified in southern California. This is a major pest in areas around the Mediterranean and has now been found in California. Attacks figs only. Misshapen or prematurely dark or soft fruit are likely what would be noticed first. If you spot this, please contact the Ag Commissioner's office right away.
