Sprayed the lilies early this year, have found a good few lily beetles dead in the planters, but they now seem to be attacking the snake head fritillaria, anyone else seen this??

Picked a dozen or so of today, may spray them id I find anymore.
I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    They are members of the lily family so susceptible to lily beetle, I'd spray.

    My husband sprays his lilies but still killed 2 yesterday so I think you have to spray more than once, and yes I had heard they attack frittalria as they are from the same family.
