Mr Nasty , I send these to the John Inns Institute at Norwich Jacque . they breed from them , to try to develope a way of controlling them.

Jacque, You really, really must squash these little pests. They are not British and do not need wildlife status and if they colonise in and around your garden you will never have lilys survive - they will even attack Lily of the Valley. So this is one insect you're advised to eradicate, honest no bull !!!

They eat fritillaries as well and seem to find Crown Imperials irresistable :-(
