Strawberry flies

Posted by Arc_of_Light NSW Aust (My Page) on

Hello there
I live in northern NSW and have a beautiful crop of strawberry plants but no berries left to eat...tiny red-bodied flies with grey wings are eating them all. These flies almost hover as they fly, and are eating the berries from the bottom up, leaving a papery skin of the outside of the berry. Any ideas?

RE: Strawberry flies

Can you catch one of these 'flies' and have a good look at it? I have a funny feeling they are more likely to be Beetles rather than flies. ATB teddy,J
