“We have a six year-old peach tree”, writes this reader in her submission regarding the translucent organisms pictured below. “This is the first year that we’ve had any peaches.

Although we are no experts on gardening and fruit, we believe our reader’s peaches are experiencing trauma due being fed on by some type of insect.
