Unless it's widespread, I wouldn't worry about it. This is probably a caterpillar of one of many moths that could be to blame. This happens to my fruit trees all the time and I kill the caterpillars when I find them, but the damage is so minimal I don't worry about it. I suggest you go out and see how many you can find and kill them by hand, and forget about the rest. Although, I'm no expert on blueberries and I live on the west coast, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I don't think insecticidal soap will bother them, especially protected inside their little tents. I also suspect that this same insect would not be a problem for your raspberries and certainly not the fig.

Thanks so much for the link, but it's not what my problem looks like. The web is finer and more flimsy and occurs in several small spots throughout. I've never seen it in person, but could it possibly be spider mites?

Ken - yeah, lawn-moving is not a big chore here :-) DH uses a reel mower and it takes 15-20 minutes or so - mainly because of the ditch in the front yard and slopes at the sides adjoining the neighbours' driveways slows him down a bit :-) We've pretty much gardened every available inch! Even the remaining grass is part of the garden by being shaped grassy paths, and the ditch has spring bulbs in the grass. We grow veggies in pots on the driveway so the driveway is part of the garden too.... This is a view of the house from the road in early August last year: This one shows the 'moat bed' (narrow bed along the top of the ditch) at its showiest at the end of May 2013. Sadly, the brutal winter just past killed off the wisteria flowerbuds so no spring display this year :-( The clematis 'Henryi' that grows into the Chinese wisteria is doing well though - once it blooms we will cut the Chinese wisteria back a bit to remove deadwood and encourage a good secondary summer bloom. We miss the wisteria display! Rouge - it's going to be a year or two before we can tell if the haskap experiment will be successful but I'm sure I'll have something to say about it whatever happens! And you're right, making changes in established plantings is exciting. I've been making smaller changes and will continue to do that, but removing the BB is the first really obvious big one - a lot of neighbours have noticed and asked about it!

just stop ... everything ... water when it NEEDS WATER ... its going on fall ... its probably going dormant ... but i dont know where you are ... next time.. do not amend the planting hole ... see link for planting and watering guide ... did you apply the goo according to the label??? not many of us.. favor planting in august.... there had to be great stresses related to that.. and probably why the mites attacked ... [just because you buy a plant.. doesnt mean its the best time to plant it] i am surprised.. that.. what was presumably 'clean' stock purchased in august.. should need hardcore miticides within 4 weeks ... fertilizer NEVER solves transplant shock ... you are probably on the verge of loving this thing to death.. do no more.. including water.. until your finger.. inserted 3 inches.. indicates the plant needs water at depth ... otherwise.. you will drown it.. and rot the roots off ... it would be nice to know where you are ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: link
