Apparently, we have now acquired these bastards. My mom has lilies everywhere. She is about to have had lilies everywhere. I am going to try neem oil and she is trying to pick them off by hand. They are supposed to be susceptible to neonicotinoids, but those kill bees. As an aside, I find that interesting because these monsters will eat tobacco plants, which use nicotine as a natural defense. There isn't much else you can do unless you want to start poisoning the crud out of everything in sight. #invasivespecies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_lily_beetle#Mechanical_and_chemical_control https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_lily_beetle#Mechanical_and_chemical_control
