I have recently been revisited by a colony (20-30) of Rosemary Beetles. They seem to spend a lot of time doing what comes naturally - must be the sunny weather. Strangely there is no sign of them on nearby lavender or rosemary bushes. . Does anyone know what they look like in the early stages of their development?
