We will be publishing an update on the distribution of lily leaf beetle and its parasitoids in 2022. If you observe lily leaf beetles in locations not represented on the 2017 map, please let us know by visiting the citizen science page, where you can report an infestation. Or email me directly: Naomi_Cappuccino@carleton.ca. This will also allow us to prioritize where future biological control releases will take place. (Please note that there will be no biocontrol releases in summer 2021 in either Canada or the US, due to covid-related impacts on research.)
