pests on blackberries

I have just a few thornless blackberries I planted last year. The leaves on the primocanes are being eaten by some pest I have yet to identify. There are also leaf hoppers all over the place and I think I saw a spotted wing drosophila fly.

What are my options for control? I had hatched an egg sac of preying mantids earlier this season, but they are apparently sleeping on the job. I'd prefer to try an organic solution, but synthetic insecticides aren't totally off the table.

Not sure if it matters, but there are small green berries on the floricanes.
