I haven't lived here long, so I don't know if this warning is necessary,
but I found a lily beetle on my snakeshead fritillaries in the West Mids
today. It's the first one I've ever seen anywhere. The blighter fell off
when I tried to pick it up, and I couldn't find it; but I squashed quite
a few eggs.

Lily beetle is already present well to the north of where you are.
