Although I have seen Rosemary Beetles on my Rosemary before, this is
the first year I've seen one on my English Lavender. Thus far, it
doesn't appear to have done any harm. Has anyone else noticed this
change? Has the RB extended its plant range?


Apparently they will feed on other aromatic plants such as lavender and
thyme. Handsome little critters with those shiny stripes but I'd prefer
not to find them munching their way through half my herbs. :/

Thanks, Sue. That's very helpful. Now I know they intend to munch,
I'll pick them off and squish them.
