A garden threat, that is.


Particularly for the Lilly's which is what this bug eats for breakfast, lunch and dinner which is why this is called a "Lilly Beetle" .

His colours are so pretty though, that I wouldn't dream of chasing him away.

Don't know what he is doing on this leaf of a caucasian forget-me-not, though .


Bye,
Peter Dumont

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
