One male SWD was found in a trap in a blueberry planting in Western Ulster County on 7/25/14. Last season in Eastern NY, SWD was found in some thin skinned grape cultivars. SWD populations are currently low and verasion is not yet close, but I will continue monitoring and post updates to here and to my blog (http://blogs.cornell.edu/hudsonvalleygrapes) .
