Flies around newly planted raspberry canes

[bigbad]

There're flies around my newly planted raspberry/blackberry canes.

I don't know if they're the result of the raspberry/blackberry canes, themselves... or it's the organic compost I added to the area? Or maybe the coffee grinds?

Anybody know?

And what danger do these flies pose to my raspberry/blackberry canes?

Thanks!

How large are the flies? If they are ordinary house flies, blue bottles or the like it's probably the organic compost. Ditto for fruit flies. Those are harmless to your canes. I can't think of any flies other than gall flies which probably aren't around right now that would be harmfull.

Thanks.

I've seen 'em around from time to time. Just found it a little odd. My mom said that she's been seeing a lot of 'em, lately, but I checked today, and it wasn't an infestation or anything.

I'll come back to report what they look like, if I can gather a better look.
