A video of a scientist examining a strawberry under a microscope has gained over 10 million views. The video shows the red fruit infested with tiny and disgusting-looking creatures.
A similar video was shared on social networks in 2023. The videos show species of small mites that live on strawberries and their plants - and yes, you've probably eaten them and there's no evidence to suggest they're harmful to your health. Some larger insects lay their eggs inside strawberries, blueberries and wine grapes, such as spotted winged Drosophila.
