Isn’t that just a spider? Hard to tell in the photo but if it’s a spider you most definitely want it there as they eat the pests! :)

Looks like a spider, I was just a bit concerned good thing you responded in time I was about to pinch it off the plant

It’s probably harmless but you can use the Seek app to identify it… some use Google lens too.

Your plant looks great, I miss having raspberries!

Thanks!,Oh no what happened to yours

We moved! Just started a garden here this year and planted a blueberry bush last year… will move to raspberries and strawberries next! Definitely miss the harvest!

Just a jumping spider of some sort! Harmless really and he'll help keep pests under control
