I've been seeing tiny black spots on my fruit. Is this normal? The spots are accompanied by little grains at the center of the spot. I brush it off and watch it.

Some of the spots look like they've started to heal. Something laying eggs inside????

The pics are not the best because I tried to get in as close as I could. I'll try to take better if you wish.

Could not find a similar question thru search.

Thanks

Thanks kom, that's good to know.

Hi sticks. I checked them again today and didn't see any type of residue. May have been the way the light hit'em.

Try a small amount of bleach with water in a spray bottle
