Pamera.
Development of the Problem -
Pameras are very common on many of the weeds found associated with strawberry fields and their environs and are therefore most numerous in rows bordering the weeds. These insects are particularly noticable beginning in the late winter when young fruit is present. In fields not treated with insecticides, pameras accumulate in large numbers on the plastic mulch around individual plants. Although pameras are capable of flight, they rarely fly, but quickly crawl under a plant when disturbed.
