In the nick of time

I have a Tree Lily - second year. The growth is phenomenal and I have been watching it like a hawk because last year it was damaged by?????. I asked at my local nursery and they said slugs. However, I bought some red lily beetle spray - just in case. I was having my usual poke around today and noticed what I believed to be a ladybird. I gave it a reluctant spurt and picked it off. Yep it was the beetle. Do they come in pairs?

They often mate in threes, just to make sure.
