It's Spotted Wing Drosophila Season, Time to Monitor:
Blueberries are susceptible to SWD damage as soon as the maturing fruit begin to change color from green to purple up until they are harvested. Typical vinegar flies infest damaged, overripe or rotting fruit for egg-laying, but a female SWD can lay eggs into intact fruit using its serrated ovipositor... Read More

Insecticide Regime for SWD Control in Blueberries:
SWD damage is similar to blueberry maggot. Female flies lay their eggs in ripening and ripe fruit, and larvae develop internally. SWD larvae are much smaller than blueberry maggot larvae, and unlike blueberry maggot, SWD can have multiple, overlapping generations during blueberry harvest. Therefore... Read More

Domestic egg production, whether on a large scale or in small and backyard f locks, will often result in some odd–looking eggs. This publication discusses 12 of the more common oddities seen in poultry egg production and explains why the abnormalities occur. Some of these deviations from normal–looking eggs impact egg quality and result in eggs that should be discarded. It takes a chicken approximately 24–26 hr to complete the egg laying process, from the release of the yolk from the ovary to the actual laying of the egg. At the end of the process, a perfectly oval–shaped egg is expected but this is not always what the hen lays.
