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!
