Lily leaf beetle (Lilioceris lilii)

In my garden. Despite having lilies, I rarely see these gorgeously coloured beetles, a non-native species. I know that many people growing lilies do see large numbers.

A tough exterior shellacked in red. After reading the previous comments, not a welcome guest. V

They have distroyed all of my lillium, I've seen them in numbers. A recent addition to the bad bugs that have found their way to my small island..
