I wonder whether these beetles are in fact being spread with, or are more

I certainly found them on the fritarillaretcy before I found them on
the lilies.

You might want to mention something to RHS, or to the Times Gardener.
It is important, for some reason that escapes me right now, but I do
agree with the general principle, to notify people about the spread of
pests.
