Once a year excitement!

I have had 79 (+/-) lily beetles, none today, found 1 yesterday. the first flush I was getting several a day, mostly pairs and a spare, it started when we had a hot spell and slowed down, then you get a few more when you think they are gone. I have had very few hatch out, I did find some but I brole the leaf off and put my foot on them. Only about 3 or 4 lots of eggs, I look under the leaves near the top is where they mostly lay them, but don't bank on it. If you see a thin patch in the leaf, they strip the back when first hatched out.

boojum, yuk! By hand? They cover themselves in their excrement! brave soul.

How about a 'queen of the greenhouse' shot?
