Case in Maine that appears to be SWD attack on intact peaches without splits or other prior wounds. These peaches were ripening on the tree but not over-ripe and no splits etc. for easy drosophila oviposition without having to cut through skin. Until now it seemed that SWD could only lay eggs in peaches with pre-existing wound. Have other folks seen SWD infestation of intact peaches?
