What are the red beetles eating my lilies?

Our Advice:

These are lily beetles and they can decimate your plants. Spray with Plant Rescue Bug Killer for Ornamentals (Westland) or Bug Clear Ultra (Scott's) as soon as you see the first signs of damage. These products give protection for several weeks, killing the beetles as they feed on the leaves.
