Blackberry White Drupelets: Sunscald + Stinkbug Damage

White drupelets = sunscald (sun-facing side) or stinkbug/leaf-footed bug feeding (scattered). Stinkbugs = shield-shaped, smelly. Leaf-footed bugs = leg flares. Eat affected fruit if you don't mind flavor. Spray spinosad (Captain Jack's) for organic control.
