Default Crown Imperial eaters?

Only because we went round earlier picking the blighters off and
killing them (humanely of course), and we couldn't find any when we
noticed the foliage disappearing on these plants (we have various other
lily-type plants around the garden).

I guess it could be lily beetles that we missed, but I wondered it
anything else could have done it, so I can look out for them in future?

You may have got the red adults but I bet they laid eggs before you got them
and its their grubs doing the munching.
