Asked June 10, 2024, 10:30 AM EDT

Hello normally I have Asian beetles every year a few weeks ago I use milky spore on my garden, and as much as I could cover my yard yesterday, I came across what looked to be like a tree, frog poop on the underside of my lilies, but it was actually just a little yellow termite looking Larva pupa and it was yellowish and it has eyes and six legs and a tiny threadworm parasites would emerge from us when I put it in so I did can you tell me what this is?

Sorry, my Picture Insect app was unable to ID the insect from your pictures. Try this web page

Also I will try to reassign your question to an insect person.

Steve, I already reassigned this to Marisa Shul. (I know I misspelled that) Linda

Clare, I'm not sure you could see Mary Jane's comment. i repeated it here just in case. 

Hi Linda, this is scarlet lily beetle, a horrible pest that has been in Minnesota for a few years and attacks lilies.

Couldn’t resist weighing in, I’m examing my lilies every day for this bug!



Really!  Thank you!!!
