Where and how do lily beetles overwinter?
Hi there,
Adult Lily Beetles overwinter in the soil or on leaf debris. They start to emerge again from late March onwards when the weather starts to warm up. After mating, the female can lay up to 300 orange eggs on the foliage of the lily. These will hatch after week into reddish-brown larvae that cover themselves in their own black, slimy excrement. Once mature, these grubs will bury themselves into the soil to pupate. They will then emerge as adults during the summer months.
Have you tried using the Lily Beetle Prevention spray as soon as you see signs of lily growth ?
Lily Beetle Prevention (SKU17972)
Hope this help. Kind regards,
