Insect identity wanted please, friend or foe?
help.  Can you load it by putting it on photobucket then onto here?-I fear this is going to be tricky otherwise. Lily beetle? Could be one of many different species. Google asparagus beetle, Red & Black Froghopper. Really need a photo.  daydaisy wrote by daydaisy
