Hello, we are faced with this situation-we bought blackberries grown in Mexico.As soon as they put it on the table, they immediately noticed that a huge number of small light caterpillar-like insects were moving along it, as a result of observation, it became clear that they either know how to fly or jump, well, do caterpillar-like insects know how to jump? I'm leaning towards the latter. You can't take a photo. It looks like a white little primal caterpillar. Could you tell me if you can eat blackberries with these insects ? Can they not be located on other products and reproduce ? How dangerous are they ?

Without a photo, it is impossible to say anything 100%, but judging by the description, it can be legtails (Collembola).
