I don't think they eat chives, Rach, although if this is reported by
other people as well, then there is a new phenomenon. They wre on my
chives cos they was night rext to the lilies.

Look for aphids on the chives. If the plant wasn't totally destroyed,
it doesn't hurt to let the insect world have a nibble or ten.
