Darlene from Florida sends this picture of the air-potato beetle, Lilioceris cheni, which was introduced a few years ago to combat the invasive alien air-potato vine.  Looks like this biocontrol beetle is doing a great job!  Of course, destroying plants runs in the family. If only the lilies in our gardens were invasive alien plants we wanted to be rid of!
