Lily Beetle?
I just squashed 4 of them .......spoilt their fun too as they were you know what ing !!!!!! Check out for the eggs and young beetles. The eggs are red and will be found on the underside of the leaves. The young beetles are brown and look like small lumps of sh!t. Its the young ??larvae?? beetles that strip the leaves from the plants. My dustmen took away my beetles after I spent an hour with a pair of scissors and a plastic cup, snipping away at any leaf that had young or old beetles on it. The adult beetles seem quite passive so are easy to catch, perhaps I caught them in a moment of post coital bliss, or perhaps they were just shagged out. |
