Look - No Hands!

I'm sure these insects have a proper Latin name, but as a kid, we always called them Bloodsuckers.

These two seem to have made a meal of my Lillies and their offspring will probably be enough to finish them off completely! Oh well, no one ever said gardening was meant to be easy.

Hi Simon, it was pure chance I read this, as I only check messages about once every few months!

You sound like you're interested in plants or wildlife. Would you care to look at the images on the page below and let me know what you think? Especially the pepper plants with curly leaves - I'm looking for an answer.

The dreaded Lily Beetle.
The perishers certainly make a mess of the plants.
Great capture.
