The Lily Leaf Beetle
As you all know the Red Lily Beetle is still an ever present threat to our garden lilies but especially our wild species L .philadelphicum (also known as the Wood Lily, Philadelphia Lily, Prairie Lily or Western Red Lily, a perennial species of lily native to North America).
We must be very vigilant to stay ahead of its progress into our province. Nature Conservancy of Saskatchewan have officially recognized the lily beetle as being in Saskatchewan. If you wish to report a sighting please go to: imapinvasives.org/skimi/report_invasives/ so we can begin mapping it on the provincial data management system (iMapInvasives) and tracking its spread throughout our province. |
