Gotcha, Surrey. Ta for the heads-up!
Do they have any natural predators, or is it a case of squish?

Lol no predators unfortunately but I do find my size 9 boots work a treat ;-)

Used to call boots that, when I was a kid...we all did...beetlecrushers. Lol.
Wonder where that came from?
Probably some gardening dad & it just got passed on.

Mouldy Lily beetles are not so common up here. If you Google image you can see what they look like. There is another insect that is red in colour that looks quite similar but it's a friend. See this question I asked a while ago
