RHS Pest Surveys |
The RHS entomologists undertake these research projects to provide accurate and up to date advice on new pest problems in the UK. Most recently, the RHS entomologists were involved with a three-year PhD research degree project into the red lily beetle, its host range and the way it locates host plannts. This research project was finished in January 2008. If you see any of these pests in your garden, you can help with this research by submitting a record of a sighting online using our new forms.
