Default Lily Beetle again

Today I have seen 2 lily beetles on my potted lilies. If I have found
2 you can bet there are more. Has anyone else got them yet? Is there
any part of the country to which they have not yet spread?

As I understand it they've covered the south and are heading north. I don't
know how far they've got, I'm on the south coast, we've had them for years.

I've squished lots already. Warning though, I nearly removed a ladybird in
my enthusiasm!

Hi Pam and everyone,

Squished my first one in February! I've been squishing them ever since.
I've usually only seen them on my lillies and fritillaries, but this year
I've seen them on Alstroemeria and Alliums .. no damage noted, though.
