Inside the holly berry, tiny holly berry midge larvae consume juicy plant cells. At less than 2 mm in length it’s hard to see the larvae without magnification. Next year tiny flies called midges will emerge from the holly berries. Note the papery pupal case left behind on the holly berry after the midge emerges.
