Several of you have written to me about hand-picking adults off your plants. While this is a useful thing to do, remember to check the plants for the orange eggs. Although this is time consuming, the eggs can be easily squished, and squishing eggs now sure beats removing the horrid larvae in a couple of weeks!
Unfortunately, lily beetles are long lived as insects go, so you’ll need to check for eggs until sometime in July, depending on the weather.
