Hi, i being naive, i first thought these insects were harmless . I thought they were some sort of spotless ladybird too. I just left them to it... A gardening friend told me i must remove them . I did but didn't check the the plant often enough and to my horror the plant was wrecked; the sight underneath the leaves turned my stomache. There were black 'blobs' of yuk which i understand to be the lavae of the beetle covered in it's own excrement! Just vile!
