Hi mavers yes the grubs do that to protect themselves, doesn't work with me thought it still squash them. I had five on some hybrid lilies the other day, two pairs were at it if you know what I mean, I soon put a stop to that but at least they died happy.

Lots around for me near Cambridge.

Likewise, or at least they are have had a good go at the few things I grow that they like, notably Fritillaria imperialis.
Almost in Scotland.

Hi Alan my fritillaria imperialis has been reduced to a skeleton  thanks to these beetles, it's my own fault for not keeping a close eye on then.
