Lily beetle

 

Found the usual holes on the Madonna lily leaves yesterday.  First Lily
beetle of the year found deep in the centre shortly after.  Now deceased...

It's amazing how quickly they appear as soon as the weather warms up a bit.

I had one on my lillys last year, what a striking beetle I thought so I left
it there, then I saw the damage it was doing, so I read up on it and
discovered it was a lily beetle so I squashed it.
