Red Lily Beetle
Comments (21)Are these the same red beetles that can often be found on roses? And they drop to the ground as soon as you disturb the plant? I had them last year, and did my best to drop them in soapy water. I saw a few this spring on my Emily Carr rose and I hand picked and squashed those ones. Fingers crossed that they don't become a real problem this year. I cleaned up and destroyed all the leaf litter from last year, so I'm hoping that might have helped. And I think I might have Japanese Beetles. :( It is either that, or Dogbane beetles; they are shiny and green/gold. There was a pile of them sitting on my mountain ash, so I'm guessing they are probably Japanese beetles since I think Dogbane stick to munching on dogbane or milkweed and I don't have either. Sigh. Have to go and try to drown those today, too. I hope it doesn't rain again....See MoreRed Lily Beetles

Comments (5)I have lilies a couple of feet high now, and no lily leaf beetles! For the last few years I've only seen a few beetles each year, if any, (and I quickly kill them if I see them). I don't spray until I see them and then I only spray the beetle itself with something like permethrin or Bayer's Advanced - whatever is closest. It's probably due to the parasitic wasps. These pictures were taken on May 7, 2017. Tiger lily 'Arabesque' lily Claire...See Morediggerdee zone 6 CT
