    Of the few apples on my trees, a new pest has discovered them.  All of
the apples are bagged and some critter eats a hole through the bag, then
devours most of the marble-sized apples, hollowing it out as though it was
done with a jagged spoon.  There are similar chunks eaten out of some of my
black raspberry primocanes and suspect the same critter is doing both.  I
have the pupa of one of these critters in a jar.  When it hatches, who would
you suggest I send it to to find out what it is?
