I only had to mention that I hadn't seen any and here they are now - the lily beetles are back after a long winter nap. Picked two on the F. imperialis and one on the martagons and there has been no lilies in that spot in the past, so looks like it made an active choice to go for it. That particular group of martagons are in a warmer spot than most of them, so this may have made a difference. For now, martagons will need to go on my watch list for lily beetles.The Fritillaria meleagris is however still unharmed
