Sunshine also brings out lily beetles

25th March 2020

Unfortunately, the spring sunshine is bringing out scarlet lily beetles too. The adults overwinter in the soil and as the weather improves they emerge and look for food - and start to mate. Keep an eye on fritillaries at this time of year  - they will destroy F. meleagris and well as F. imperialis while they wait for lilies to emerge.
