The Raspberry beetle ("Byturus tomentosus") is a pest that is widespread in north-central Europe. It affects raspberry, blackberry and loganberry plants. It lays eggs on the flowers which hatch into pale brown larvae. They feed on the developing fruit, and the fruit will appear smaller and shrivelled. The Raspberry beetle has to be controlled in many locations by use of derris, a pesticide.

They are related to the Raspberry fruitworm ("B. urbanus") which is native to North America.
