Default Lily beetle - will someone remind me please?

We've come home from a week in Aberdeen to find that my mother has died and
we do, in fact, have lily beetle - red beetles and black larvae (?)

I can't do anything about the former but will someone please remind me about
how to deal with the second, please?

Enough is enough!

Mary, I am so sorry to hear of the death of your mother. The lily
beetle, - pick off and crunch between your fingers and when the lily
has finished flowering, bend the stalk in half until it dies down,
that works for me.
