Red Lily Beetle Alert!
The red lily beetle has been slowly working its way north - North Bay, New Liskeard and now, it would appear, it has made its appearance in Englehart! This little devil of an insect, if uncontrolled, will completely defoliate and ultimately kill all true lilies (Lilium species, such as Asiatic, Oriental, Easter, Tiger and Turk's Cap lilies). It will also feed on Fritillaria species, and many other plants, although the primary targets are Lilium and Fritillaria species. Please be on the look out for the beetle or the eggs on your lilies as they appear. Hand pick or spray with 10% ammonia solution as the lilies emerge. Other controls and a description may be found at this link on GardenWeb.Com: http://faq.gardenweb.com/faq/lists/neweng/2002040522017914.html
