Destructive Bug in Garden

Day Lilies are starting to bloom in my garden. They are like sunshine with the bright yellow color. This morning I looked closer and noticed a bug on one of the blooms. Then I saw the holes in the bloom. I have never had bugs beat the Day Lily blooms before.

Anyone have an idea what this bug is and how I should deal with him?

    • Yes they are all part of the process, I just want to be able see my blooms. I have many buds and hope there is not more damage. I am not killing the bugs, not yet, because I don’t know who did the damage yet.

  1. I hope you find a solution to this problem, Carol. It’s a beautiful flower and must be protected from damage. Maybe a worm or some sort of insects cause the damage.

  2. I have a flower on which the sparrows peck the leaves. I can not help with advice. I have never had this problem. How unfortunate about the beautiful lily.

  3. I’ve no idea how to deal with bugs …
    perhaps you can go to a florist or gardening shop and have them see this photo of the pest and they can give you advise?
