Does winter kill them or do they just snooze ?
I don't suffer from them personally (yet) but a friend's asking.
Cheers.

Hi kp
Adult beetles overwinter in plant debris and coarse vegetation and move into liles and other host plants in May/June. Females lay 200/300 eggs each, on leaves and stems, they hatch about a week later and feed for a month before going to the soil to pupate in earthern cells.
Off work for a weeks holiday see you next Thursday when i come back.
