lily beetles
Hello everyone,
I am an entomologist (bug scientist) interesting in tracking the spread of a nasty ornamental lily pest called the lily leaf beetle (or scarlet lily beetle). It's a small (5-8mm) bright red beetle with black legs, head and antennae. There are no spots or markings on the red body. If anyone, particularly in Canada or the U.S.A., has spotted this critter in their garden in the past, I would greatly appreciate some information: your location (city, state/province, postal/zip code) and the year that you found it. Feel free to include any tidbits of info (for example, the species you found it on) that you think might be useful. I plan to present some information about this pest at the North American Lily Society meeting in Edmonton and would like to have some recent statistics to accompany the talk. I recently completed my M.Sc. thesis about the lily beetle at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. If anyone has any sightings to report, or has any questions regarding the beetle or my work, please contact me at . Thanking you in advance, Crystal Ernst |
