scarlet lily leaf beetle (Lilioceris lilii)

Just learned of this pest this year when my Easter lilis usually towering were short and losing their leaves.  These are voracious.   I used dust to stop them.

 

Maybe not the worst invasive species we have to deal with but if you or your spouse likes to have a nice flower garden, you may want to pay close attention to your flower beds.
