I think, possibly my
lilles were attacked by the same thing but they are long since dead and
shriveled.

I expect your lilies were attacked by Lilly Beetle... info is on this page
just scroll down to the section on Scarlet Lilly Beetle.

At least they are post box red so can easily be seen and disposed of
underfoot. The young look like bird droppings as they cover themselves with
their own faeces. A systemic insecticide will do for them.
