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.

Gosh! Yet another thing on which I'm out of date... Caught one today,
though. Pity it's such a handsome devil.
