Anyone seen any yet? None round here yet this year, very strange! (But very
welcome)

None here either. Since I have found out that they 'click' when
threatened, I can't wait to see one! I think all that *"@~$!!**! rain
has something to do with it. Harvested lots of snails last night but
not many slugs. I have an amasing amount of black stiped yellow
snails. How strange. They seem to really like our buddleias.

Well yes I remember that now, however our lillies are growing apace and not
a beetle to be seen on our or our neighbours plants, most unusual.

Alas yes here in Bristol. :(((

yes here south of Bristol also!
David said he had some for the first time across the channel in Wales.
I find that Ultimate Bug Killer keeps them at bay, otherwise I have to
put grand-children on the beetle-picking job as my eyes don't spot
them all. I did see one on a lily stem. I held a big white bowl
under the stem, tapped it and the beetle fell into the bowl. Then I
realised I had caught 2. If you let them fall on the ground, they are
very hard to spot as they always land underside (black side) up!
