    Kandy,
    Do you have any pics of the larvae that Armandii mentioned?

    Just in case Kandy hasn't got a pic of the Larvae, Skinmonkey, if you have any you'll find them on the underneath of the leaves. They covered themselves in their own excrement so they appear black/brown but in fact they're a grubby [couldn't resist the pun:D] white. The black slime helps to protect them from predators and sprays, but they definitely don't like the plastic bag and flie spray method on the initial spray. Marley seems to have had great success with the spray she uses.:thumbsup::yahoo:

      I found the first of the next generation today - removed about 30 larvae of various sizes with a kitchen towel. Yurghh.

      The one good thing about lily beetle is they do make themselves easy to spot at most stages of their lives.

      I put the pot on it's side and gently roll it around to get a good look at the undersides of the leaves.
