    I hate lily beetles, they were a real pain last year, but, Palustris I'm know a little concerned. Had I seen your insect on my plants I would have killed it!!!!
    Can you put up a piccy of the lily beetle next to the cardinal beetle so I can see any differences. Thanks

    This is the dreaded lily beetle on the left . As you can see it is redder and rounder than the cardinal beetle.
