Oh goodness me, we only have it on one lillie plants at the moment must check out the other three tubs, I seem to be out there all the time cleaning the eggs off,

They only attack the lillies I think Yorks, and if they fall off before you can pick it off they land upside down and play dead. That is definitely their eggs in those black blobs, so get rid of it quick.

There isn't a spray Val. I use to collect the beetles to send to the John Inns Institute where they were trying to find something to stop them breeding .....
