So that's what happened to my Madonna lilies! (maybe)

If you are not totally organic, then the newish Ultimate Bug Killer
spray is effective on my lilies, after picking off and crushing any
visible beetles. Pick them off carefully. They have the most
annoying habit of falling upside down onto the soil and are then hard
to see because they are black underneath.
