Lily Beetle

While dead heading today i spotted a lily beetle on my Dahlia. I duely squashed it and while checking for more my neighbour next door but one "the expert" arrived home.
He enquired what i was doing and i answered about "lily beetle" he said no they are ladybirds, He has loads on his lilies. :dh:

 

:dh::dh::dh:

 

He'll learn !! :dh::dh: Or maybe he thinks he has the only ladybirds without any spots.

 

lol

 

Every day without fail i am still picking lily beetles off, I am sure all my lilies are ruined,
I am sure my neighbour didn`t bother spraying his lilies as i told him to, if i had offered him some of my Provado he would have used the bottle full :(

 

You should have made up a sprayerful for him Pam.:gnthb::D

 

Those Lily Beetles are a pain elsewhere. I have squashed whole legions and still they keep turning up.

:lollol: :lollol: about your neighbour, it would be funny if they didn't come over to your garden for a visit and munch.

Peri, just hope you never get to see one in real, at least, not in your garden.

 

Killed 2 on this mornings perambulations

 

They are a real pest, they devoured my lillies that my son brought me :(

 

most of my lilies look sick and i bet his all come up ok

 

Provado 1/2 price in "Wilkos" , I have informed him next door but one :lollol::lollol::dh:

 

Making memories for our-self is not a big thing..But the flowers being key for all this memories make this something special...

 

Always dig the soil over to give the robins a chaance at getting at the little b*******rs. In fact dig over several times during the winter.

If in pots take out, give them a good wash and store until the spring. Throw old compost away.

If in garden, dig out and store. Dig over soil.

Provado is very good

 

Hi All
Do you remember this from last year,well this is a not very good photo of the first one this year and i killed 4 othersView attachment 1715

 

Just be careful. This is a Red Cardinal beetle not a Lily beetle and a friend.
