Can anyone help me identify the pest that has taken all my nectarines for the last 5 years? Just as fruits are ripening, silvery threads appear, hanging from the fruits. Fruits then quickly turn brown and rotten - very frustrating! We have tried sprays and traps - pest is not discouraged at all! I have a good photo of the problem if anyone would like to see it.
