William said:I'd also recommend to be especially careful about examining the cultivar 'Lankon' as that one also is a real magnet for the beetles. Overall I have a suspicion that anything with L. longiflorum in its 'blood' is especially attractive to the beetle. Of course if you have enough beetles they and the larvae will devour anything, but they still do seem to have favourites.


I don't think I have ever seen L. lancifolium with lily beetles on it! It would be interesting to see if hybrids with lancifolium in their parentage are also as repellent to lily beetles.
