They can be pretty destructive. I am adding Madonna and Stargazer Lilies to my perennial bed this season. Excited! :)

I could tell.

The plants looked like they got hit pretty good.

It was just on a whim that I decided to transplant them, otherwise I probably would not have noticed.

I’ll pick up some Neem oil.

I could not find any more adults and took an old (formerly) sharp kitchen knife and scraped the eggs off and put them in soapy water.

I had moved the plants to a much sunnier space, which it turns out, is supposed to help.

I’ll be getting some neem oil and spraying the undersides of the leaves.

I only have two plants so it won’t be hard to control them.
