bug

Oh San...it's a Lily beetle!!!! Kill it quick, before it chomps through your lilies:(((

thanx Di it was in my growhouse on my delphinium, its gone now,,,

Phew...glad to hear it San :) Check your lilies though just incase you find any more....(I have nightmares about lily beetles, lol)

ive just been through all my lilies Di and seem fine, but will do regular checks now lol, lovely colour though but not nice

hope it hasnt done too much damage

Lol Michaella....do you have nightmares about them too....?

you will have one tonight now Di looking at this creepy little bug

Oh no Sandra.......kill it.............

i did try milky but i just couldnt, so sent it on its way,,, wayyyy over the fence lol

Little monster ....

lol janette, red devil

Come on, get a grip sanbaz! Rubber glove, pick 'em off, crush 'em. You just wait till you see what your lilies look like when the larvae are on them... once you've seen that, I don't think you'll be so soft hearted;-)

sorry bamboo, first time ive ever seen one, didnt know what to do, had moved it before i asked what it was, will know next time,

Someone asked a question about Lily beetles a while ago Sandra and I wondered if there was anything organic to treat them with..as Bamboo says its the larvae that do the damage .

There is a product called Provado by Baby bio which also kills vine weevil grubs..as I searched found that a chap has been studying these for 3 years for his PhD - really should get out more - if you cant squish them he recommends dabbing them with white spirit or turps with a small paint brush.Apparently this quickly fatal to them.

thanx BB good to know, i havent found anymore since that one thank god, but will remember that, and yes should get out more lol
