Hilarious! I was wondering the same thing, at least it seems to be a beneficial insect, unless of course you want the pollen on your daylily. Hilarious!

Look closely, he ate around the edges of the flower and turned it white.

Maybe we should send her some bad bugs to feed him so he wouldn't suck the juice from the bloom. Hilarious!

A pair of bricks, smartly applied one to the other with said varmint in between, will take care of it quite nicely. Whistling

I appreciate the mental picture, I totally get it. Whistling
With that said I will let the little guy live, only because it is not one of my favorite daylilies. If it was a new intro I would have flicked him into the neighbors yard! nodding

Susan, there is a new Forum for Pests & Diseases, perhaps you could post the bug photo there with it's name.

I think I did post it. Confused Seem's like someone said it was a Philadelphia beetle or something. I will have to go back and look.
