Has the lily beetle struck again or is this the work of slugs?

not sure if it will work, ive heard you cant kill them with bug spray steve, someone was just saying about it on another picture conversation, worth a try though
just been reading that the adults eat in evening and early morning steve, so out with the tourch lol, they disguise themselves with their own poop, yak lol, the ones in the day are normally young ones
